No wonder theres so much competition!!
« on: June 30, 2010, 05:18:57 pm »
Was doing a full house clean today when the wheelybusters bin cleaner turned up.
"you must be raking it in" he starts off with.
" whys that then?" asks me.
"cos I was speaking to one of your mates yesterday and he'd cleaned 50 houses!!"
me; "was he on his own or with a team?
" NO - on his own"

Now - I'm waterfed pole and been doing it for two and a half years so know enough to smell bullpoop when its about but if window cleaners keep bullpoopting about their earnings its no wonder everyone thinks its easy money and wants to set up!!

its like with plumbers and sparks, they all start thinking they will earn 100k a year, 6 months later jack it in after undercutting everyone and not making any money

Whats great about these people who think they can earn a quick buck, they do a few months and see it not all that easy!

Well theres going to be more and more competition in window cleaning as now WFP provides a service for the people who dont like climbing ladders so they can use this "wfp" thing and slap dash around the house..

Plus wfp systems getting cheaper and cheaper by the month these days diy etc
