greasy inside window at mcdonalds taking some scrubbing to get clean

do you think soapy mop with squirt of ubik will sort it

tryed all different soap now using squeegee off

 
That would work or strong soap and white vinegar mix..i use distilled malt vinegar

Seems to take greasy hands etc straight off

 
Like you i was worried at first ! But Like other cleaners in here ive Got at sheet-of explanation . And a very good explanation on my website which most people read before contacting me , then i simply clean every new custy twice the first clean and it Works everytime , letting Them know that if there Any problem , then just give me a Call and i sort it Out for Them . Thats Always putting , at least the danish people at ease ! :DBe square about Any potential problems , then its my exp. That they are far more understanding if they occur /emoticons/smile.png:)

Good to hear ! but anyway im closing Down a bit in cph over the next years , wanna work closer to home . Btw its a great forum and we Can learn a lot , wfp is bigger in UK i Think !

 
It also must be expencive to drive that far for work, the bridge not cheap either.

Wfp is very popular in uk i understand but they all have nice pvc windows where ours are mostly wooden, the house style is also different from ours. When i look st my custys i could not be faster with waterfed pole, trad is fastest, although i have a small back pack for the odd window, velux or solar panels.

 
The house style is very different Jacob, and our beer is still cheaper in London bars today than it was 22 years ago last time I was in Kobenhavn.

In your favor however I feel you guys have less competition than we do here and also command a much better price per job?

What is a typical hourly earnings for you guys there?

Yes beer is feckin expensive lol

My earnings are around 200-250kr pr hour + vat (20-25£) but i dont rush it, where is used to work i had to clean for 600kr a hour (60£) but you have to keep in mind everyting here is expensive food, living, taxes etc. So dont think the difference is that big if you compare dk vs uk.

the competetion is not hard in my area, i guess we are around 8-10 cleaners and plenty of custys for all. Do also live in the most wealthy and populated place of the country luckily.

Actually ive using my wfp on around 40 % of my custys , my hour rating is about 350-400 + vat . In Denmark . But i believe it varies a lot . And the commercial custys are my top round

Very expensive in fact ! Ive build my own wfp unit in my Peugeot bipper van , i have a friend and cleaner that is a true expert im going for the specific windowtypes , and everytime a house gets new Windows its Always better with wfp , Like they are made for that type of cleaning . And ive just converted a lot , but british style must be a Dream for the wfp cleaners
