Hello all, firstly what a cool forum !!
I've been 'umming and aahing' for weeks thinking about starting a window cleaning business and after discovering this forum i've been inspired by you guys to go out and just DO IT !
I am just studying the MCSE course (Microsoft Engineer) as i plan to get an IT Networking job in the next couple of years, but i've been pondering what to do while i study. I needed something which allows me plenty of flexible time to study but also has the potential to cover my bills, i've been looking at the usual ratrace 9-5 jobs and to be honest, they left me totally disheartened.
I'm after any general advice should anyone wish to offer any ? I'm not totally inexperienced as i used to window clean when i was a 17/18 year old brat. I'm 33 now and it seems that things have changed alot since i was stretching off the top of a triple ladder with my ratstail mop and scrim.
I'm just waiting for my roofrack to arrive, i've got some ladders and once i've got my gear then i'm off canvasing, i am curious though as to how you guys use the microfibre cloths as to an alternative to scrim and leather ? If you could let me know that would be great.
If theres anything you can think of that might help me out, please let me know - it will be very much appreciated. If not, no probs - its been a great read browsing through the previous posts.
