Newbie looking to start, what equipment?
« on: July 03, 2018, 03:56:41 pm »
Hi all,  I've been in the cleaning industry for 20 years now but I've never done window cleaning due to having to use ladders.  About  a month ago the subject came up in a conversation and then I found out about this wfp system and not needing the ladders so its now something that I can do.  Ever since I've been researching on here and I've decided that I want to have a crack at it, but I'm getting impatient now and just want to get going   ;D

Basically my budget is very tight, I've got an old van but it cleans up well so it will have to do for now.  I can't afford all the van mount systems so I'm thinking a portable system with a target of cleaning 4 detached size houses per day. 

I can filter the window cleaning into my current work and if it works well then I can drop my current work gradually and replace it with window cleaning. 

So to start off what equipment would be best suited for my current needs?  I live in a very affluent area where most of the houses are detached or semi detached so they would be my target customers. 

Any recommendations on the kit I need?

BTW this forum has been an excellent resource of information for me, I've found all the info you all have provided so helpful, from messers wanting just one clean, to dog poo to gate codes its all things that someone new (like me) just wouldn't think about,

Chris.

This is the you tube video I always refer people to, which shows how basic you can do this and then upgrade from that. But in reality it gives you the basic ideas
