    Pressure Washing In Rain?

    Hey PJJ mate!  Window cleaning I sit at around £40 p/h. Which to me is bonkers. My initial set up including the gutter vacumn has been about £7k including the van and everything I've bought up till now! And may best day has been £450. And usually try and make a steady £180. I know us window...

    Pressure Washing In Rain?

    But surely if I don't window clean in rain, even making £50 using the customers water for 2 hours is alot more profitable than making £0?  Like I say this is something that will be offered as a last resort if the weather is forecast to be bad for a few days. If it takes me an hour longer than...

    How many jets do you use?

    Looking at getting yet another brush to my collection, I only ever use 2 jets but thinking about getting the extreme sill brush 35cm flocked and using all 4 jets (fan jets) for everyday use , does it make a big difference? I'm presuming more water will be used but also quicker to rinse windows?

    Oily on top of my pure?

    Sorry to sound daft mate but how do you skim it? I would guess it would need some kind of really tight mesh?

    Oily on top of my pure?

    Hey all! I got an outside 210l water butt to store a supply of pure in and then use a flood pump to pump into the tank in the back of the van for days I run short. I was going to get a normal tank for back garden until another window cleaner reccomended the water butt and to be fair it does the...

    Anyone using this? Did a search but it came back with threads years old. Wondered if anyone is using this and adding to there tank? It's intriguing me. Some people say it works really well and others saying they didn't notice a difference from just using straight forward pure?

    All eggs in one basket?

    For my first 30 customers may e I undercharged. I now sit in what I call the middle ground. I'm not the cheapest but not the most expensive. And I could have tripple the amount of customers I have now if I kept having to advertise but I stopped that about 6 months ago as work was coming in...

    All eggs in one basket?

    What are you on about? So it's worked for me in the first year but not for you in yours at the time and that makes it so unbelievable to you . Maybe your first year in business you had a terrible plan.....sounds like it.
