Title: I've just upped my hourly rate
Post by: DG Cleaning on July 11, 2013, 03:13:27 pm

Yep did about £3 an hour extra today.
My first day out with my new SLX 22 with medium mixed extreme brush.
As opposed to my Harris with a very heavy stiff brush.
Didn't even rush about either, the brush just seems to glide over the glass.
Happy days  ;D

I went from a Xtel 17 to a clx18 for my everyday pole could not believe the
difference over that length.
Can work quicker and longer over the day just wish I had changed sooner.
On advise from this forum I am ordering a SLX25 for any hard to reach windows and fascias.
Also putting my prices up by 15%.
All part of my improvement strategy.
Better poles better earnings easier work load.

I find slx25 heavy after a long day using it on 25 plus jobs especially on a full day of first cleans however its nothing compared to my old brodex poles, were far too heavy to go mad 5 days a week..going to invest in an extreme to treat myself after daz gives a review on it to say weather its worth going from slx to extreme for same lengh!.

Today I managed to go over roofs where I would get the ladders out, clean upstairs windows from next door to save me going round the back etc.
Also much quicker on downstairs as well. ;D
