every post ive ever read from squeaky seems to contain alot of anger and resentment towards wfp users.
get over it , get a life or get a system
viva la revolution!
He he heee! This means I'm winning. :D
Mate I'm just rebelling against people looking down on me because I don't want to embrace their method which doesn't suit my round.
Anyway, I look down on them from my ladder! ;D

Gaz, you're right and sensible I know that.
I rather not be up a ladder, but I do like the old wash and squeegee technique.
It feels like an art.

And Peeeeej,
Who knows one day? Maybe I'll surprise you, but things will have to change a lot first.
Like somewhere to put a tank, money for a van..etc...etc...

Cheers for the support when I upset people though! ;)

I've got more people with windows not accessable with wfp than ladder, regardless of what others say...I've counted.


Rog,

We don't look down on you.  No-one does.

However, with your above point, for those windows I can't reach with a pole, I get my ladders and climb up and clean them.

Many WFP users do the same.

So we can provide a better service at the end of the day.

My advice is not to close your mind to getting a WFP; nor bad-mouth it to your customers. 

You never know when you may want to make the change.

I'm thinking of dumping this new fangled squeegee thing and going back to the good old bucket of dirty water and chamios leather. ;D

Tosh, this may be a daft question but what window can you not do with a pole that you can on a ladder? I thought one of the main advantages of wfp is to get to windows that a ladder cannot.

Sqeaky,
We`ll agree to differ...but I get the ladder off to the windows I cannot reach with pole. I do them all.
Best of luck. :)

All of the above windows can be done with a wfp, you may use a ladder for access.

Clients can be devious too. If someone asks you to clean their windows, how are you to know if they already have a cleaner or not. The windows may look clean, but they may have only moved in the week before.
If someone wants me to clean their windows and are happy to pay my price. I will do them. That's my business. If someone wants to dump me for another guy, It's their choice. I have passed loads of work on to other cleaners if it's out of my area.
If the jobs in an area that I work, I'll do it. It's called free trade an competion. Dai

SQUEAKY. you miss under stood me, i dont take others work, like i get the hump big time if its done 2 me. i work on estates where other cleaners do trad. when i did trad only months ago,  it was a pain in the back side the windows i could not do. my customers always noticed  them. it would have been great if a wpf cleaner would have done them 4 me (paid of coarse). we can work togeter some times, problem is trust,we stick together we all earn more, but as we all no there are a few out there that are too short sighted to see it.  :(

Good thing for me is that in all my areas there's only trad competition.

I do 8 or 9 different villages and there's no wfp'ers in any of them, only squeegees.

At least this keeps it simple! :)
