Window Cleaning Forum / Re: things are on the up !!
« Last post by Scottish Cleaning Service on March 05, 2026, 07:49:04 am »
Never been busier. Spring has started early up here, not used to double digit temperatures so customers are wanting stuff done as quick as possible. My radiator in my house sprung a leak and my washing machine needs a new bearing. Just waiting for something else to break because it usually comes in 3,s. Windows in the morning and home stuff in the afternoon, happy days.

Spring has sprung, just makes you feel so much happier. Eight potentially good, light months ahead till winter, actually put suncream on my  face yesterday, I could feel my cheeks glowing.

The Rootek kits on ebay are better than OEM. The springs are stainless and last for ages! Haven't bought a new univalve in a long time as I just service them with the ebay kits. 👍

We don’t use univalves but I know the guy that owns Rootek  he has several products that are very good we tested a few things for  him and all work well , he is a window cleaner and designs things to solve problems he has encountered, his customer service  is also very good , all his products are well worth looking at .

I tried fixing some they worked for a bit longer but then gave up again.

Ive stopped using univalves as they dont last long before they start sticking, get to the point when they are just coming on and off when walking. Yes they are good when new but i cant be bothered keep buying them so gone back to a small tap on the brush head. Uses slightly more water perhaps but just as easy to use.

Hi,
I've got 3 univalves which are sticking. I've tried lubing one up erm... Anyway it's still sticking so must be springs, do the replacement kits on ebay actually work?
I've a brand new one fitted but just for recycling the old ones instead of buying another new one.

Yesterday.....a fiver off an elderly customer. She said 'this is for the children'....i don't have any kids of my own so just accepted gracefully.😆

£564 in tips altogether now.

You accepted a £5 Xmas tip this time of year off an old person who clearly doesn't think clearly? My conscience wouldn't allow me to accept it.

Yep she's losing her mind a bit....my conscience is just fine thanks!
