I cleaned 44  modern detached mostly 3 and a few 4 bedroom houses on Wednesday between 8 and 2 45, don't get me wrong, this is the cream of my work and I can't achieve these numbers in other areas. I have been waiting by my phone waiting on the customer complaints coming in as according to some on here they can't possibly be cleaned properly...........Guess what, no complaints, just the usual online payments coming in with a few xmas tips thrown in for good measure, I'm happy, customers are happy, that's all.

6 detacheds an hour. Hour after hour for 7 hours

Heard it all on here now ffs lol

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.

So what makes you think the guys who say it cant be done haven't experimented ? strange there only seems to be a few
on here hitting 30 to 35 or more properties per day, do you think you and angry Phil have discovered something that the rest of us haven't ?

Sorry sean k if somehow youve taken offense at my post. Perhaps i should have quoted jamie thomas's post as he asked what flow speed did the people  who clean more than 20 houses use. My post was in answer to that question.

However to answer you Sean K, in my opinion if ones have experimented who are wanting to clean a higher turnover of houses in a day and find that they have to sacrifice quality or cut corners etc as ones have been stating on these threads. Then yes, in my personal opinion is that they must be doing something wrong or did not persevere to perfect the technique because it can be done without quality suffering.
However if ones have experimented and concluded that they can do so and choose that they dont require to work like that, then that is absolutely ok as well.  Because at the end of the day, does it really matter what each person does or doesnt do. Esp if they are happy doing whatever method suits them. But since this forum is to discuss and perhaps encourage, then  i try to post in a manner that reflects that.

The question answers itself.

I run my sureflow on 5 I find that's enough for a decent rinse.

I'm sure 5 is enough.... if you have all day to clean one house.

I've never been to Australia but I do believe it's there.

The number on the controller means very little, I find anything above one and a half litres a minute at the brush head will
be more than enough for most jobs.

It atually intrigues me how this is possible,  clean similar houses and they simply cannot be done under 10 mins a pop without quality suffering, ive cleaned my own windows in 5 mins (3 bed semi )and that was in ultra ridiculous turbo mode when you factor in posting slips, opening gates, dodging ornaments, reeling back in and out and moving van not to mention more windows some connys, some backpack, talking customers jobs etc etc it becomes unfeasable to do a house averaging under 10 mins without quality suffering. If you can work that fast for 7 hours you should be in the olympics as your endurance is unhuman.

Working at that speed i would have to have breaks as i would be wiped out

If you genuinely do it then you are a windows cleaning freak of nature, but i still supspect B.S

My endurance is not any better than average, I work at a brisk pace, nothing more than that. Working 6 and a bit hours using an 18' SLX and a 16 litre backpack ( occasionally a trolley ) is hardly back breaking stuff. Just because you or anyone else can't manage to do that amount of houses doesn't mean it can't be done. It really is of no concern to me that you suspect B.S, maybe I suspect that you are green with envy,  if I wanted to B.S I would be claiming that I get £15 for these modern houses, I don't, I only get £7 or £8 for them, more if they have a conservatory. Anyway I best be off to bed, another busy day in front of me

now we know your lying mate.some of us have been window cleaning over 20 years and some 5-10+ years wfp.we know an average is 4 or 5 an hour and thats working briskly(with a van mount!)on run of the mill work.

your using a backpack?

your on a wind up mate!

......and some on here REALLY take the bait!

[SeanK]

The guy in the video cleaning a detached property front in under two minutes is using a backpack, I believe your right Dazmond
but not for the reason you gave.
Give me 45 properties with small windows, no openers, no degraded rubber seals, no hard to reach, no trampolines, bikes. v shaped scooters, no flower pots. window boxes. bins, fences, gates, no snails. birds. spiders. insects. pollen. tree sap. no damp easily damaged slippery lawns. wet wooden decking, vehicles, no pensioners or any other humans that could trip on my hose.
Put an honesty box on my van for any customer who wants to pay me when I'm there, train all my customers to only speak when
spoken to, have all the properties reachable with one van move and I may be able to get 25 of them. lol.

[jonboywalton75]

What's he doing charging 7 or 8 pounds each
I'm like a veteran  footballer who lets the ball do the work
I'm 59 so I use my head
I reckon 90% of window cleaners are thick as pig pooo

Dont forget plenty of descent coffee as you need caffeine rush as well.

The only time i've done twenty a day was when I used to smoke cigarettes! X

[nathankaye]

An example of a bay window, (well part of)
That i clean. As ive previously said n said n said (lol) i clean 4wkly so its just maintenance cleans. Cleaning already clean windows and clean frames for all the critique on frames. I probably clean frames every 8 or 12 wks pending their condition. But as all mine are pvc, they stay relatively clean. On a flow of 70 majority of my windows are not aquaphobic and so it just glides down the glass lovely. Houses like this, door after door is what my rounds are often like. Making it easy work to do 30 or more houses in a day, the joys of my rounds.

Admittingly not everyone is fortunate to have large compact rounds, hence the haters n critiques of people who have and can make it possible to clean more houses than them with relative ease.
For critiques who go on about plants, toys n poop in garden, not everyone is as unfortunate as you perhaps or they have done something about it. For instance when i was on ladder, a customer had a bush growing (no inuendo) which made it dangerous for ladder, i gave him choice of 3, cut/remove plant // i dont clean that window (same price tho) or find someone else willing. 4 wks later, the plant was well trimmed.
Another had poop all over garden and not just a days worth. I used to dodge it all on ladder but now with hose i gave the client same choice. I would txt to say calling next day to give heads up for poop to be cleared or find another cleaner. Yes, they clear the poop.
Would my clients do that if i did a hap hazard // splash n dash job or sould they tell me to F off!  There are plenty of shiners  about with undercutting prices in my areas as well, so they could easily replace me, but dont.

Either way, ones who clean for whatever reasons more houses in a day and those who clean less, if their happy and making a living from it, well done n does it really matter.
Now get of the forum as we have windows to clean b4 xmass

I only did one job today which took 2 hours. Mind you was 2 blocks of flats... Was that quick enough for you?
35 plus houses a day working 6-8 hours sounds like hard work to me...Stuff that

Brilliant 

A friend of mine has a block of flats. He cleans outside whilst wife does inside windows. Takes a full day, its a large block of flats. The money he makes on that is amazing, im well jealouse of ones who have flats.

Not interested in commercial cleaning now though. Used to and good money can be made and i know plenty on here are doing so. But i found it to be cut throat and too stressful and so left commercial and dont fancy a return to it. But envious if the income that could be had from it.
Lol, thats a complete side line point
