Beast from th East
« on: March 05, 2018, 05:39:31 pm »
Started back today after the recent snow storms, windows and frames were absolutely filthy, it was like doing a day full of first cleans :'(
I've also had two phone calls today asking when I'm due around again, both from an area which was cleaned  under 3 weeks ago!The next four weeks are going to be hard going if today is anything to go by :'(

Yep I noticed the same.
Been doing commercial and some properties that get cleaned every fortnight, and it looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 6 months.
Absolutely filthy!

I don't normally use hot water when the temps are as high as they were today but decided to carry on with it due to all the dirt from the snow. Works much better than cold when theres this much dirt on the windows.

Some windows were bad and some not so much.

Either way I'm glad too be back at work, nothing worse than forced time off.

True Daz but no doubt a few customers will have a cry about it after the papers blow it out of all proportion  ;D

I am indeed Mick, although it's not been unleashed on the roads for about a week now!  I read on another thread that you  have treated yourself to a 435, nice one mate ;) 8)
