What's the best advice you've had?

And I mean window cleaning - wise. Not as my dear late Mum once told me "don't get your girlfriend up the duff"!! Mine was read on here a few weeks back (and I think it was Macmac - not sure?). " All windows look clean when they are wet."

It was me & it's true ;D  IMO it takes quite a bit of time & experience to be able to leave a property in full confidence that the windows will dry clear & free from spots/smears etc. I see silly quotes on here like- 4 bed detatched, pull up, clean wfp, drive off in 10 mins! nonesense. Maybe it's these who have all the complaints from customers. ::)

Set yourself a minimum charge, avoid council estates like the plague!!, Do an execptional job and charge well for it! Keep your costs to a minimum! Get yourself a Harris pole for £15 from b&q!!! (thanks Dai)

Fantastic salesman, exceptional window cleaner will do even better!!! especially if he has a bit of business sense as well!!!!  ;)
(why would you settle for being mediocre at your job? I strive to be the best I can in everything that I do!!!)
