    Using my Window Cleaning Water Tank for Pressure Washing?

    Hi Yes, thats what we do when we get very busy. When you buy more water just ask the supplier to spray a bit of pure water all over the tank walls and leave the valve open so the mixed water leaks out. Then fill up the rank and you will have no issue

    Tips is not taxable. I never heard of anyone getting in trouble for 5-10 euro tip. If you hide 30k from the taxman, you might have a problem. But few euros for a beer here and there, is fine

    Two degrees today coldest people have gone out?!

    I think pure water freezes faster than normal water. When there 2-3 C outside, the water in the tank becomes all thick and semi ice. But we also have a water tank for power washing that water is not bother before -1C

    Solar Panel Cleaning Worth Getting into?

    i cant see it being a huge business but i can see it part of a window cleaning service. As an additional service. Salt streaks or dots on solar panels is not a big issues. I think most people use a car brush to wash it once in a while

    Graffitti removal etc

    Scratch it, soak it with petrol, power wash it. Areas with high risks of graffiti spraying can be treated with a protector. The protector will keep the graffiti on the top. It will not penetrate inside the brick/concrete

    The pricing is changing every year for us. The state is keep increasing the rate per hour so we need to recover our costs from the customers. Is not easy to explain a customer why a job that was 75 euro last year, is 85 euro this year. But after each budget, the diesel goes up by 2-4 cents per...
