Tomorrow I'll be cleaning 6 houses...

Simon in the other van has 10 to do...

But we'll both turn over roughly the same amount of ££.

As has been already said - the number of houses cleaned in a day is irrelevant.

Your just down the road from me . In fact saw you or your other van parked at a garage not long ago along mill lane.

Hi Chris,

Are you stalking me? Lol

You're in Aldershot?    What's your company name?

Another factor to consider is that council estate 3 beds are a lot different to 1930's bay windowed 3 bed houses.

Exactly.

Today there's two of us cleaning 7 jobs. Friday we've got 22 - today earns more money by about £80. It's the money that's key. Like someone said earlier they do 2 or 3 commercials a day. Brilliant work. Great for cash flow too.

But just doing 6 is lazy IMO.

For me, a standard 3 bed semi, no connie, no bays, every 8 weeks about 20 mins, reasonable pace. Thats all frames and sills cleaned, scrub over the glass twice and a rinse, front door wiped so no drips, downstairs sills wiped over, I also wipe the underside of small openers on downstairs, probably a 2 min chat, writing out my invoice blah blah. So about 2. 5 - 3 per hour and as many hours as you fancy. These aren't my best earners, I would prefer Mick's front onlys any day, or nice small commercial or small flats etc.

your wasting time(IMO) drying the doors and sills(and top openers) and writing out invoices/chits(mine are already printed/written out the night before).10-15 MINS FOR ME.sometimes that includes cleaning a conny too in the same time.these are mainly 4 weekly jobs though.

Come on, whose going to say 5-10 minutes?

Matchbox houses are so tiny could blade them in 10mins or wfp them in 6mins including set up. Proper semi's 20-30, country houses up to 2-3 hrs depending how many extensions have been added on over the years. Don't wish to go like the clappers unless I have an appointment elsewhere or want the next day off then I might speed up if I think I'm getting behind for time. Happy plodding on at sensible pace with breaks occassionally. Some of my friends have had heart attacks early and  I'm not killing myself for the tax man, just want to pay my bills and put aside for rainy days. Life is aboiut the journey, not the destination as you can't take it with you so enjoy life whilst you can.

Iv got a digital sureflow controller If any of you are using one and doing 20 or more houses a day can you tell me what number you have the flow on please.

Full whack , not a speck of dust left on the windows. What flow do you have yours on?

It wont make a difference Jamie unless you have something that's hard to rinse of the glass like a huge amount of spiders webs,

Especially comments like 'It wont make a difference' when youre talking about flow rate and cleaning speed. Possibly the most stupid and incorrect statement ever written on this forum. And thats a very high bar.

High but not mad, Jamie. Youll find as you increase it there comes a point where you use less water than lower settings as youre cleaning so much more quickly. Just keep edging it up until youre happy with your speed. Mines 55-70 but depends upon controller and pump.

[SeanK]

Phil, unless your cleaning with a dribble then flow will make very little difference to speed, some people like a
high flow to give them confidence others don't need it.
If you had the slightest clue what your talking about you would realise this.

You crack me up. You type this stuff as though youre not kidding, thats what makes it so funny. You really are a comic genius. You should give this up and go on the stage with that delivery. Brilliant.

popcorn anyone

Anyhow if we believed how quick some of the products/methods are hyped up to be and we used all of them we could theoretically finish before we started surely.

There you go Phil that should get you up to 40.lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSZvYWoPW7A

I love the sound of a turbo nozzle in the morning. YEHAA!

When i first started i was paranoid about water consumption. I purchased a 500 ltr 450gdp diy system from purefreedom and the digi controller which cane with it. Because i was so paranoid i was initially proud that i could clean windows on a flow speed of 14, untill  i got bored with how slow i was going. I was also unsure about alot of conflicting views on this forum and so i began experimenting. For me, at the moment, i now use a flow rate of 70 and i have 4 jets on brush which i use for my rounds which are 4 wkly. As im cleaning already virtually clean windows, this method makes light work of it.  If its a first clean i pop it upto 80 and depending on condition of frames etc i may use ubik and the high flow n 4 jets help with a good fast rinse.

Believe me or dont believe me, quite frankly i dont care. All i would say is have the confidence in your own ability and dont be afraid to experiment and find out for yourself. Even if that does mean clean a few houses and go back on first ones to check your quality and results.  Any time lossed in learning will be made up with quicker work, no loss of quality and more confidence in your ability. Dont be like some on here who spend their time saying it cant be done without loss of quality or cutting corners or bla bla blaar, find out for yourself.

See what you're saying Daz but I only dry the doors and top openers on the ones that are in (or I think will come home while i'm cleaning) , the chits take me 20 seconds or so to do (just fill in the blanks) and unfortunately the 8 weekly can add a bit of crap and time to the clean, compared to 4 weekly. On the plus side, I do charge a premium for, what I consider to be a top job. Perhaps I need to rethink my approach?

Cant be done. Youre an idiot. Youre making it up. No reason for you to but you must be because I know best.
