    White aluminium frames milky runoff

    Not a bad idea yes ? but I only noticed the white milk once I'd gone to town on the frames with the squirty brush ?

    White aluminium frames milky runoff

    Maybe if she keeps me on for 50 years ? I did end up doing the 2nd clean last week, (1st clean was a month ago), did what pjj said with the extra rinse, all seems good ? For anyone's info btw, on the second clean far, far less white milk came off so might be worth enduring the horrible first...

    White aluminium frames milky runoff

    Hi folks hope you are doing ok ? Just asking for some advice please? I did a 1st clean on a bungalow with white alu frames, the water running off was white with the old paint.  Finished the clean but thought it was best to clean out the brush properly at home afterwards ? cloths nasty too (as...

    pole advise please

    Fair enough! ? My reasoning on it is that I've got these groups of bungalows I do where my slx22 doesn't need to be extended at all, seems like I might as well use the clx4, just £40 or whatever But who knows how much I'll use it, but keen to try, couldn't stop thinking about getting one lol

    Best vans and pics ?

    Still working out of a car myself, but hired a new-ish shape Transit Connect for a week last year, was lovely, would be nice to get one in the future maybe.

    Newbie...not the best time to start but lets do this!!

    If every new startup simply took this step I reckon a lot more would get up and running much better, well done ?

    Start ups appearing by the dozen

    Not seen any around here yet, but will be paying attention to see if I can spot any now ? (not that it's a problem, new start ups welcome of course, as long as they don't use dirty tricks to get customers)

    Are window cleaners still allowed to work during Coronavirus (Covid-19)?

    I will say that the more bored I get, the more I feel like starting cleaning again. But I'm trying to remember that my decision shouldn't be based on whether I'm bored, but other big factors that are up to each of us to decide on. Personally, I'm still off this week, might apply for UC next...

    Are window cleaners still allowed to work during Coronavirus (Covid-19)?

    It's not just you don't worry, I've never applied for any kind of help from the gov in my working life, but now I'm reading about the different options just in case... I never thought I would need to but that's just the way it is.  I can't get the new self-employed help package as I've been...

    Are window cleaners still allowed to work during Coronavirus (Covid-19)?

    I think you've perfectly summed up the issue we're feeling, whether it's legal or not, we're feeling intense pressure to stay home.  Looking forward to the announcement on self-employed, will be good to just get an update on what they have in mind.

    Are window cleaners still allowed to work during Coronavirus (Covid-19)?

    I've cancelled today's work, I believe that I legally could go out (for the timebeing) but it just feels wrong for now, waiting to see how things develop.

    Monthly Conservatory Roof Clean?

    Thanks for the advice guys ? I'm supposed to be cleaning this house today, but it's a tiny bit torrential here so might leave it until tomorrow ? I think I will offer a reduced price for a 'quick wash' and see what they want to do.  I wouldn't do that for normal windows, but I can see the...

    Monthly Conservatory Roof Clean?

    This is actually what I had in mind yes.  I have cleaned this roof before and it is almost impossible to get it spotless, there's an endless stream of black specs of moss as you've mentioned. I don't mind offering a cheaper quick rinse over to keep the worst off, it would probably work out more...

    Monthly Conservatory Roof Clean?

    Hi all,   I've got one customer with a medium sized conservatory with a full glass roof.  They want to have it cleaned as part of the regular monthly clean, but I'm not sure what to do..   Do any of you folks clean glass roofs as part of the regular clean?  Or do you just say that it needs to...

    Green Pro Clean

    Pretty sure glass is the same in the US ? But UK wise I've watched A.E.Mackintosh a fair bit, he's recently converted to full WFP. Still lots of good videos from overseas, though I admit they tend to use WFP differently than we tend to here, but still useful to learn from.
