Couple pictures of my employee and me on first job using CLX pole.






Must also say, top service from Alex Gardiner and his team.

Looking forward to tomorrow using mixed sill brush and properlly appreicating the weight 

Also, what would you charge for this 3 story house? I charged £12 for this one but would have been £15 hadnt I known her from school.

 

[sf]

Chargeing £12 for simular at present,all new 3 storey houses i pick up will be at £15 per clean 4 weekly,£20 per clean 8 weekly. Find these houses a doddle do up to 6 an hour on maintance cleans.First cleans usually take me about 30 mins though,really fussy on first cleans makes life easy when it comes to the maintance cleans.

its like a banana!   i have a 22ft clx but carbon fibre all the way for anything higher otherwise your pole looks like that  

glad your enjoying it though james

looking at his old posts he does 25 to 40 houses a day,wish i could do that.
However in his area if you charge £10 your a chancer
Also average price is £8 for a 3 bed semi in south wales

Sounds more realistic.

They're certainley great poles James.  I'd never dream of looking foreward to putting a sill brush on anything, not that i'm trying to sway you. If you where to try an extreme brush on the end of it then its the next best thing to putting a pole up with no brush on the end, the pole won't bend at all. CLX is certainley my fave pole anyway.

[Dave Willis]

Do you try and clean the window below?

[PurefectWindowCleaning]

Dave0123 - Yeah I will do 

Dave Willis - Which ones? I cleaned all of them ( only the top half of the doors around the back)

[bobplum]

i dont see a problem with a slight bend in the pole,if anything you can use this too an advantage,over connys etc and you can use the whip effect to lessen the strain on the body...just imo

[dazmond]

when you can afford it buy an SLX 25FT with carbon gooseneck and extreme brush.itll blow you into the stratosphere when it comes to wfp cleaning.

the clx is great for a budget pole but full carbon SLX is the next step up as its even less strain on shoulders and arms.

glad you finally got rid of that big heavy pole james?

enjoy your CLX mate


best wishes

£5 up here,assuming no side windows,

clean front door and top half of back window.

25'slx with mm extreme brush.Those sill brushes only last a few weeks,extreme lasted me over 4 months which im very happy with for price,best brush ive used but put new one on pole on saturday and broke my swivell

[SPE]

I've the clx27 also (2+ years)
Happy using it all day on jobs like that, I have a smax40 also but prefer using the clx. Sure it flexes and maybe heavier but it feels more robust and I feel more confident being that bit heavier handed with it and I can work at a fast pace. I've replaced 2 clamps and all the barrel nuts and had to patch up a couple of worn sections with resin but its still going strong. I will buy another when I need to, why spend more ? but agree anything higher and fully carbon is the way to go

I would not use a pole that bent like that mate. As cleancare said, its like a banana.

Maybe keep that pole for ground and 1st floor only.  Yes you had the big brush on, but from what I can see its leaning against the window.

You need carbon fibre for anything above about 20ft imo.
