i wouldnt recomend that system i have the 40ft pole it doesnt do a good job is slow to use but on the occasional inside job it ticks all the health and safety boxes so is a good marketing gimmick.
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

Just enquiring - Im starting a construction business so w/c taook up too much of my time therefore it was sold - My question relates to how would w/c cope if the new leglislation was enforced on them especially with how much water a wfp system can use

If i did anything like this id have lads doing it so i could concentrate on my other business









what I cant understand is you say window cleaning ( which if managed well can be a great income )    took up too much of your time ?       and yet your looking at the possibility of car valeting and weelie bin cleaning ?       how very strange ???

There are a couple of things i don't 'get' in the business model. People sign up for direct debit £6pm sold as £3 per clean (one black one brown collection).
But i notice that by me now they are putting in green plastic liner bags into the bins to stop them getting dirty.Great idea, saves cleaning them, but couldn't the customer buy their own liner bags and put them in at less than £3 a time?

Also isn't the introduction of a large plastic bag against the ethos of modern life and conservation?

So my opinion is that they are destroying their own industry.

Hi Slumpbuster.
I agree - We have had a couple come and go on our estate using new fancy recycled water cleaner. It doesn't take customers long to realise that it cheaper to put your own bin liner in as it stays clean for quite a while.
I see next door now has a new cleaner who doesn't put a bin liner in, and she complains that the bin is dirty - they cant win either way! We will see how long he lasts.

Did have to smile a few months back as the dustmen swopped the bins around so we got ours cleaned for nothing
