So...... how long do you think it will take for the dust to settle again and knock 10% back off the output? About a month I reckon.
bout...........12 weeks, more likely  ;)
That's fine. We are contracted to do it every 6 months. :D :P


Steve
Ignore the negative vibes.
If you have a contract thats all that matters. If they decide to not clean them in future they will probably have to pay you to take garden leave anyway.
I like the write up you have put on your link. Milk it for all its worth and ignore anyone who tries to drag you down to their level.
Keep it up

my comment wasn't meant with negative vibes (man) I was just imagining the deal being struck, nice work if you can get it.

also Steve, ideal job for the widest brush possible, which brush do you use ?
We have found the gardiners 45cm flocked to be best so far. A great brush for this type of work.

Cheers spongebob. Spoke to the higher powers at BG today and they are overjoyed with the work.
Some slate what we are doing, I don't bother with them. Some question it, that's fine, I try to answer their questions. If some are interested and even get excited about it, great! If the last group get asked to do such a job, but don't feel they can handle it for whatever reason, hopefully they will recommend me and I will cut them in. But if you don't push the articles and promote a little, no one may ever make a few quid from that job.
Thanks for the encouragement! :)
....and some just get bored with it.

Good grief.

Well done mate.

I wouldn't bother about all the comments about is it worth it in terms of output and all that stuff. If the customer is happy, that's all that matters.
Had the powers that matter from BG on the phone today and they are over the moon. Job done all around I say! :)

Well done Steve great job to have. These companies wouldn't have them cleaned if there wasn't a benefit, simple really.
There is also a tool that measure reflectivity, used on hard floors like marble etc
Thanks Neil. You are right, there are many tools that can and are used to measure this. I am trying to make a living cleaning them and some poor soul has the job of working out to the nth degree how much benefit it has brought. Rather them than me! ;D
