yes guys ive worked just pinching the hose.its a pain when customers come out to pay you and you have to disconnect the hose EVERY time.same when you have to nip back to the van for something.aqua-daptor is much easier and faster for controlling water flow.
price higher/work harder!

Yeah, pinching the hose seems really cumbersome. I use a tap, but might try an Aquadaptor.

Hi Daz,
If i remember correctly you used the swivel with a sill brush, i tried it with a sill brush and found it horrible as they are not wide enough. If you haven't tried the swivel with an extreme brush, then give it a go, i personally could not do without it now and have converted them to the quick-loq fittings as well.

Kind regards
Trev

Is she aware that there's another woman in her relationship, a 25' extreme pole and aqua adapter?

haha cheers tony! ;D ;D ;D ;D

we all work to suit our individual lifestyles!

heres the way i work.

i very rarely take a day off if the weather is bad unless its really hammering it down with a strong wind.my work is monthly/2 monthly mainly but gets cleaned 4 weekly/8 weekly EXCEPT when my monthly work falls due again at the end of the same month after already been cleaned at the start of the month.i just move my schedule onto the next week and enjoy the time off.

i have 350+ customers.most are monthly with some 2 monthly,some 6 weekly stand alones and the odd 3 monthly/bigger 6 monthly jobs.

i also always find time for the add ons(conny roof cleaning,fascias/soffits/solar panels etc)and  still end up having a few days off at the end of the month to relax before the next onslaught.

im very organised though and work hard.i always print invoices/statement of accounts out the night before,texts,fill date of clean on my slips etc.

9 times out of 10 i take a packed lunch and flask so i dont waste time going to the shop for something to eat at lunchtime.

i always have plenty of clean dry microfibres,scrims in the van.fill my tank up as soon as i get in from my working day and charge battery.

im like a well oiled machine! ;D ;D ;D

but by the last week of the month im ready for a few days off to recharge the batteries.i work on average 5-7 hours on the glass monday to friday and work the odd saturday if i have work to do.

also i keep track of late payers and send them a text reminder or phone them if i havent been paid via BACS/cheque 14 days after clean esp if its a 6 weekly/2 monthly job.

collecting is still a part of my ways of improving cashflow.i only go about 2 or 3 times a month for an hour or so as i have lots of very compact work which is easy to collect and only 5 miles away from home.


regards

Have been slowly trying to improve my business new poles and so on.
Plenty of work but at times I find it hard to get motivated and am all over the place.
Going to work like this in future.
Excellent post. Cheers.
