Forget what every body else say they use. Some use less water because they don't rinse properly. Their standards can be different to yours. If you are happy with the end result and more importantly, if your customers are happy with your standards, then nothing else matters.just spoken to a lad who reackons his 2 lads can use 2-300 ltrs a day between them, now i used to use 200 when i was on my own with a backpack, now me & my son do 600 a day easy what does anyone else go through
Sh*t the bed. I use between 300 - 350 litre for around say 20 3 bed semi's. I am new at this so maybe over doing it on the rinsing.Hi I work on my own and I use about 2 to 300 ltr of water. I clean about 45 houses a day.
200-300 litres for 45 houses in a dayHi I work on my own and I use about 2 to 300 ltr of water. I clean about 45 houses a day.

I would say you are right with your water usage.Sh*t the bed. I use between 300 - 350 litre for around say 20 3 bed semi's. I am new at this so maybe over doing it on the rinsing.
Oh good. For some reason recently I have been thinking am I using too much water and wasting to much time rinsing. But also want to ensure the job is as good as it should be.I would say you are right with your water usage.
There is a brush manufacturer who used to post on this site saying that with his brushes all you would need is one pass on the glass and no rinse. If you took his advise to heart then you would use less water, but I doubt you will have many very happy customers. No matter how much I tried with his brush I could never achieve good results by following his suggested procedures.
I have a commercial job I do on a weekend when there is no one around. There are a couple of experimental windows I used to use as I was working around the building. They were usually warm as they faced into the morning sun. They were perfectly positioned so I could do a clean, single pass, no rinse and the next window a double pass and no rinse. They could then be redone when passing back to the van. The best result always came from 2 passes over the glass with a decent rinse afterward. That takes a bit of water, especially when you clean properly into the corners.
I've seen slap dash and its not what I would base my reputation on.
My feeling as I have said is for you to do what best and comfortable for you. Water usage depends on so many things. We live on the north east coast and we need to rinse well when we do windows overlooking the sea front. Those days we will use much more water than when we are doing houses inland.
My son in law was working for us for the past 4 years and now has gone into employment as window cleaning wasn't for him. He spent half the time on each window I do. His results were satisfactory, but he didn't do the job to our standards. Customer's notice; I've had a few tell me that now I'm doing them again they will be done properly.
There is no reason why you can't experiment to reduce that time if you think you can reduce it. If a window is taking you 60 seconds to clean, can you reduce it to 50 seconds with equally good results? You need to try it on windows that you can inspect later, preferably downstairs ones. If you can, then can you squeeze a few more seconds off the time? We have noticed a big difference in the time it takes to clean windows every 4 weeks and the time it takes to do the same windows every 8 weeks. In our part of the world we can whiz though monthly cleans with a quick wash and rinse as the windows look clean before we start.Oh good. For some reason recently I have been thinking am I using too much water and wasting to much time rinsing. But also want to ensure the job is as good as it should be.
I currently take around 20 minutes on a 3 bed semi from getting out of van to getting back into it. Would this sound a bit long or about right. Bare in mind I'm only on my 3rd month of doing it.
god thats such good advice, i've only just sussed that out n i'm on my 13 yrIts not how quick you are but how smart you work. Each time you go back to the same job, spend a few moments and ask yourself if there is another way to do this job that would work better.
no offence mate but that seem a touch unlikelyHi I work on my own and I use about 2 to 300 ltr of water. I clean about 45 houses a day.
Assuming your minimum price is the same as mine.....£10. And your working 5 days a week, then your weekly gross is on average £2250 !Hi I work on my own and I use about 2 to 300 ltr of water. I clean about 45 houses a day.
One way I use to cut down on water, is to control the output via the control valve at the pole. I've found there is no point in using full flow whilst cleaning the frames and glass. Only on rinsing I use full flow.just spoken to a lad who reackons his 2 lads can use 2-300 ltrs a day between them, now i used to use 200 when i was on my own with a backpack, now me & my son do 600 a day easy what does anyone else go through
My wife loves me more. She's a designer shopping girl.Assuming your minimum price is the same as mine.....£10. And your working 5 days a week, then your weekly gross is on average £2250 !The tax man must love you..
Really to be honest I thought I was about average. I know others doing more.no offence mate but that seem a touch unlikely
