i find it quicker, i do my work in about half the time now that the windows are clean,  i just park my van up in the middle of the houses and walk from one end to the other,  u might feel that it takes a while the first few times, till you work out where is best to park the van, and getting the windows spotless

euan, just make sure you clean all the frames and sills with a cloth while you are up there on those ladders, before you go wfp, this will make it easier for you when you change over to wfp

i have compact rounds like you, it is 50% faster after the first cleans are out of the way, hence why i mentioned wiping down frames,  before changing over, be prepare for sore muscles lol no one tells you that,

only lost 3 customers in 2 years, gained more than i lost, my advice is ask here if anyone in your area is prepared to take you out for a days training, you will learn the right way to use wfp and how to use it, and i promise, you will never look back,

it is not all about being quicker, the quality of wfp is far superior to trad, and you get a lot more money than you could ever have asked before, show me a trad w/c who does the glass, frames, exterrior doors, garage doors ,all on every clean,???  i do becouse i am wfp, and faster, not just that,   there house looks better to, they get true value for money, my saying is, our window cleaning service is the equivelant of a full valeting service, beat that quote  ;D

i think you should give it a bit more time lammy.im not shelling out on 5grand+ on van and system to use it just on "awkward" windows!

im doing it for a few reasons:

1.safer

2.faster esp on my bigger accounts= INCREASED INCOME!

3.can build another round of bigger accounts too dangerous off ladders=INCREASED INCOME!

4.more thorough job(frames/doors/outside gutters)

5.easier for conny roofs/fascia cleaning=INCREASED INCOME!


NO BRAINER! ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!
