Find out if they smoke first

If they do triple your price before starting...


Yes internals are the same as external although we use the good ole window vac as it's cleaner and quicker. Small windows we white vinegar and buff with microfiber cloth

Exactly the same.

Charge more tho because IT WILL take you longer than the outsides.

Just take your 'water fed pipe' inside, turn the flow down and make sure they have peeled the carpets back underneath the windows.

haha love it!
just seen posts in past where people have made theyre own spray solutions etc but i thought i'd be ok doing it trad lightly wetting them!
they dont smoke and the windows are pretty clean anyway, theyre quite a clean household ie no kids bogeys on the window!!
seen some right weird marks, even sure i saw poop once on a house!!

just use mop and squeegee but dont soap up the windows as much.take another cloth in with you as well for wiping sills.

wear shoe covers so you dont have to take your boots off and get the customer to move ornaments and lift up blinds while your cleaning the outsides.

charge more than the outsides as it will take you longer.

Domestic I make up. Spray bottle ... Stick it in your pouch .. Save traipsing a bucket in ..

Mist the window from the bottle ... Soap up with mop ... Squeegee off ... Cloth the sills


Small windows ... Spray bottle of pure ... As above Mist window .. Wet window up with microfibre ... Buff dry with blue cloth

you just dont need to take a bucket in with you!i had a job booked in yesterday morning first thing. inside and out.fairly large house and BOAB was plenty.

for buffing small panes just dab the end of your T mop on the glass then quick buff with a scrim or microfibre.easy! :)

Cheers guys good advice about the spray and sure the customer wouldn't be happy with a green unger bucket that's been on many dirty grounds on they're carpet!!
Love my boab, it's a unger one but different to the pointed boab that I've seen for sale, it's more square!

Just one more tip, if there are any blinds get the customer to go round first and pull them up, this will save you time fiddling about with them and also eliminate the possibility of you breaking them.  ;)

We also have a tiny Unger Squeege for those small panes. It gets used a couple of times a month but saves so much hassle.

These are ok but charge only lasts 20 mins plus the water tank not big enough!
