How often do you do your own? Are you OCD?
« on: May 24, 2017, 02:14:03 pm »
I think I am OCD on my own windows. I try and do mine once a week even though they  they don't really need doing.  I get stressed when I spot a new fresh mark on a window.

I think I need to chill.  ;D

I work the street I live on so I do them every month when I do everyone else's.  I occasionally do the living room one in between as have a cat that likes to sit on the outside window ledge and put her nose on the glass so it gets all snotty.
Over the years though, I have cleaned the windows of a number of other window cleaners who can't be bothered to do their own.
We have a choice! We can do one or the other, the opposite, both, or neither depending on which way the wind is blowing.

cleaned out my fridge,all cupboards and drawers in the kitchen,tidied up my bill drawer,sorted a few things out and took any clutter/rubbish to the tip,sorted wardrobe out and de cluttered.(time for some clothes shopping on bank hol monday now!);)

im even going to girlfriends parents house and giving them a freebies conny roof clean tomorrow.

ive had my golf in the garage this week for a carbon terraclean,new exhaust and air con valve/re-gas too.its going in again tomorrow for brakes and suspension bushes,its already had a full service,cam follower change and 4 new tyres in the last month or so.cost me a fortune.ive already spent nearly 2k on it in the last few months.

ill then clean it inside and out when i get it back and polish the wheels.

Saves me the hassle and it keeps her indoors happy and he does a good job.

Sod cleaning my own windows.

I thought it was common knowledge that you need a carbon terraclean after the flux capacitor has been reconditioned.
No?

its a refined fuel/additive that cleans out some parts of your engine/fuel system.they hook it up to their machine and it runs on this fuel for an hour or so cleaning out some carbon deposits.i must admit the car feels a bit more responsive/perkier since ive had it done. :)(the cars done 100,000 miles now)

I usually do mine around every couple of months.

They are overdue now, but my youngest daughter will be starting work with me part time from July, so I will leave them to train her up on.

Done mind about 4-5 tines in 2 years and thats only when ive been trying a new briah or summat. Can't for the life of me see why anyone would pay for a window cleaner every month can't say I ever notice.
