You will always want 10% more so when you get to 10 days you will want another day. You may come to realise that as hard as wfp is its a bit easier than pressure washing and the replacement spares are cheaper.
But keep your wfp prices up.

Cheers Jeff.
Powerwashing spares are frightening, it costs £180 a year just for a machine overhaul and I have 3.
Window cleaning is a breeze compared to powerwashing.

Squeaky,
I have been having sleep problems for 10 years
 I live with it now...I get about 6 hours a night so that is not bad.

Well scrapped the trolley Idea for now, have set up the van.
Water tank in and filled, battery and pump fitted.
Everything is on a 30m hose and works a treat.
Found out why i got sacked, nothing to do waterfed pole trolley or anything else.
Apparently I sacked his daughter the other week.
She's a padlocker and kept complaining why I had not been doing her back windows.
I told her my ninja are days are over and if the back gate was open I would clean the backs and if she didnt like to get another wc.
Being in a villiage families all stick together.
It was my spy who told me, the best woman on my round, everytime the windows are due she is my first port of call, cup of coffee piece of cake and a ciggy.
They were all related.
Picked up 3 new ones today top earners it was the windows over the conservatory that clinched it I think.
Dont feel as bad today, in fact I'm on a bit of a high.

hi chaps, switched 2 months ago 2 wfp totally. only get my ladders off on the rare occasion, lost a few cause of spots the 1st time but that was all explained in a letter, but thats show buissness. some were quite rood but now they seen their neibours windows coming up as eas pointed out in the letter some have asked me 2 start again, i said yes but it wood be an extra £5. ive been doing majority 4 years and they should have a bit of trust in me the same as i trust they will send payment if they r out. having said that im getting possitive comments after the negs the first time round.

im convinced wfp is 4 me, its a wholr new ball game with loads 2 learn, with you guys giving me advice on my probs has helped no end, prob saved me loosing more customers so a BIG THANKS.

Ye i know what you mean about familys and friends sticking together,i use to do 4 houses all related i fell out with the mother about a gate incident(won`t go into deatail) and yes you can guess on my visists to the other 3 it was cancel cancel cancel,i was relieved really as the whole family were stuck up tw#*s anyway
Gaz 

[steve k]

nice one Preston (sorry...what is your name?)
I think it`s great when a moaner cancels...they really believe they are going to get a cleaner to do just their windows on your run

I love it after a couple of cleans when their curtains are twitching and they are rubbing peepholes in the dirt.

I have lost 2 customers now

The first one said if i wanted to clean my windows with a bush i would do them myself.

The second which was there next door neighbor and he said the top windows were dripping onto his bottom window.

It was unnavoidable because you had to go through the house with the backpack and there were only 2 windows and had to do underneath immediately.

I would not mind but they are my realy basement price customers £4.50 i only keep them because 2 of us can do 12 of them in less than hour.

I had one customer who said she was not impressed because it did not get the blowfly mess off .

so i said we had better leave it in future then .

then she said no no no theres no need to be to hasty
So i did not loose that one.

[preston powerblast]

I knocked on about 30 houses today, picked up 3 new ones, posted a load of leaflets. Think I might might take the dog for a walk tomorrow and post a load more.
But am now geared up for Tuesday.

Dave,

I've a couple like that.  You have to WFP tops and bottoms as you really have no other choice.
