Hello everyone
I am new to the group and like what I see already, I am new to the window cleaning business and am sure this forum will be of great assistance to me.

Welcome aboard the great ship 'cleanitup' Terry.

I joined in July and have found the advice on this forum invaluable.  In fact I recently purchased a water fed pole system and found the other guys on her more help than the retailers.  You get a good balanced, unbiased view on most topics.

You cant beat experienced replies and some of these guys seem to have experienced most things.

One suggestion I have it to trawl through old threads as they contain lots of info from past and present members - failing that dont be worried about asking what you think is a simple question - if you dont know the answer then the its not simple is it .

Good luck, nice to hear from you

Hi Terry

Another welcome from me.

This forum is really really good.

I've been using this forum for about a year and in that time our business has not only doubled but is a lot more efficient.

You also read some very funny things from time to time.

Cheers

Welcome Terry

Ask anything (about window cleaning ) no matter how silly it may sound and you'll get an answer.

All the best

Ahem,

Hi, Terry,

Welcome to Clean It Up.

If you've just begun shining windows, you're now experiencing the toughest phase of starting a window cleaning business.  Stick with it.  It's not easy, 'specially at the begining; but it has its good points.

As the others have said, don't worry about asking what you may consider 'bone questions'.  They're often the ones that receive the best response. I still ask them all the time and I've been here nearly as long as I've been window cleaning; which isn't very long!

And Roger is correct.  I do have three Japs eyes!  (Roger, I must've posted that months/years ago; pre-moderator days).

Hi Ben and Andy

I did the same as you - I read all the postings for months.

Except I didn't actually know I could register and type things that would appear on the forum untill my daughter asked me why I wasn't posting anything.

I'm not very pc.

Vision On. That brings back long lost forgotten memories of Tony Hart (I think).

This is a good forum isn't it.

Hi The Cleaner Service

I kiss our hearse good night everynight.

I don't know where the Avatar went. It vannished at some point and I only noticed tonight.

Hi Ben and andy

I didn't realise a hearse was so odd.

A pick up sounds also a perfect work vehicle.

Just chuck it in the back.

We do the same with our hearse and it ends up a dump inside where as with a pick up, it's easier to find things without having to clamber inside.

It sounds a good idea to me.

Hi again

Try a squeegie.

All the body parts go into one long smear. Easy to see also.

Mop again again hey presto..

That's one thing that Traditional methods have over WFP.

We're now using WFP's and have yet to suffer body parts inhabiting our brush.

Er ....

Cheers
