What's so special about ecover?

WCF

Help Support WCF:

I'm currently trying a mix of 9 parts ecover 1 part fairy, i just want a little bit more suds than straight e cover.

 
I'm giving my back a rest today as it's playing up again. Still will be out doing more exterior deep cleaning quotes this evening though;)

 
The type of work I do is bloody hard graft so like to earn a fare wack then take time off to recuperate.

 
I've built up a niche professional exterior property cleaning business with a very good reputation rather than just becoming another window cleaner in my area that can also offer different services.

Most of my work like I've mentioned before customers already have window cleaners but I'm not trying to sound big headed I'm simply very good at what so ppl are happy to pay a premium for my work.

 
Better to be professional

I just started back up but will be buying the right kit for the job

Already got the windie gear so started there but can do a lot of things from experience not just a cowboy

Gotta save up for decent pressure washer etc

I do believe if you're gonna do a job do it proper or not at all

That's how you get your good reputation

 
If you think about it I have people from 6 years ago saying come clean mine I would rather you did it than the guy I have

Says a lot about the job you do

Would rather take a few minutes more on each job and have happy customers

 
Plus I don't mind having a cuppa and a natta with some of em..keeps a nice friendly relationship with em (and I can always find room for another cuppa)

 
after reading over and over again how you all love ecover I had to try it.

Tried it today and yes its great. added a little dash of flash and combined with my porcupine sleeve its a dream to clean and nice and easy to blade off!!

thanks for that chaps!!!

i think Ecover works well if you are in a soft water area

unfortunately im not ,its hard water here, so hard you have to apply a fresh line of soap to your Tbar at each house

for ages i used the W5 washing up liquid from lidl ,[not the concentrated,i found that didnt mix into water quickly enough] i found W5 great stuff in hard water , but it takes its toll on your hands ,stings after a while and with employing workers i feared a possible compo claim.

About a year ago i switched over the Magnum from Aldi, looks exactly the same as the W5 but its not the same . whatever its ingredients are its milder on your skin than W5 and good if not better slip. if you are in a hard water area i recommend it
