Hello All
First post here, just to introduce myself and general rambling of my first day out.
I'm a born again Window cleaner, just doing Saturdays only. I'm working a combo of trad for lower level and wfp (not pure water) for upper, so Customers require a tap to connect to pole. to get round not having pure water, I have fitted a soap dispenser into the hose, i fill the dispenser with neat screen wash -10 degrees. Touch would this appears to be working for me after multiple goes on my own property. It seem that the Meth-alcohol is doing its job at vaporizing the water from the glass, hopefully with a combination of good technique.
Downstairs I'm traditional, I've been boiling and filtering my own water /emoticons/smile.png dont laugh, crude method, but I'm happy with the results. So I carry a Gallon of the water plus 3 spray bottles with concoction fairy and rinse aid in 2 bottles and the 3rd Bottle filtered water with Screen wash.
Anyway, the 2 Houses I done yesterday was 2 large houses, the 1st took me 1.5 hrs and was mostly flat glass end of terrace so easy to get round. The 2nd house large detached took 3 hours, but was all leaded. The customer want happy with the previous Cleaner who stopped, due to too many water marks, the cleaner was using, p-wfp.
So I pretty much hand cleaned the house by hand, trad, squeegee, scrim, micro-cloth to finish.
Customer Happy, tipped me and told me I got the Job monthly plus to go and do another family member to boot.
Good day but knackered, I'm 52, just wondering what the average age of window cleaners are, am I to old and it a young mans game.
