What tips have you got for speeding up on the job and making the day as efficient as possible?

WFP not trad.

High flow rate

Electric hose reel

Extreme poles and brushes (easier rather than quicker work, but you’ll feel fresher all day)

Then just smashing it out like a lunatic.

Got it all wrong Trad is much quicker!

If only Harry Enfield was on the telly he could include trad. You don't want to do it like that, you wanna do it like this

Obviously hot water but the electric reel as said is a reel pardon the pun time saver,I always found the reeling in was harder work than actually cleaning windows with a pole.
If you got an electric reel and you do larger properties you’ll find one a god send,I know I did.
If you reel in —70-100 meters of hose in quiet a few times a day you feel it and so does you’re shoulder over time,if i had to choose 2-3 time savers this would definitely be somewhere in there.

I used to get my reels out of the van, then went to fixed reels in the van. Now the hose seems to get stuck a lot when reeling it out.

Do the majority have fixed or non fixed reels?

A swivel. Master using one and you'll gain more efficiency than any other single option already mentioned.👍

Reels in or out of the van for manual reeling either one of them is hard work,once you’ve used an electric one you’ll never go back to manual reeling.
I knocked em like people do hot water,1 week in 2-3 years of shoulder ache gone best 600 notes I’ve spent on work equipment.

I find that having about 30/35 metres of pole hose on my reel before you get to 60/65 metres of microbore is great. I can get to a lot of my work with just pole hose or I loop 20 metres of pole hose and walk to the first "pinch point" and can then usually get around the whole property with lightweight hose and no snagging.

Going back to the van I walk back to a "pinch point" and loop up the lightweight pole hose and walk back to the van. Much easier and lighter to reel in as well.

Done this for over two years now.

Hi Zesty, as a matter of interest what Flow rate do you use thanks

Have your breakfast the night before, use boiling water, miss out frosted glass, if the glass looks clean just put a slip through the door instead, get a van with air conditioning, get yourself some Goretex incontinance  pants. Work less hours.

Two eight foot pointers on board so you can get over any gate.
Hoe to slide bolts
Fast music playing on headphones
35cm extremes with red fan jets
All food and water on board, so no stopping to faff about buying food
Leave before rush hour, get to first job at 730 and have breakfast before starting at 8
Both pumps going on 100 and two pumps connected to one reel, so you are cleaning with double flow ( I can get away this because I have a 650 L tank, all the work is 12 weekly with a min charge of £27 so we only need to clean 13 houses a day to make some decent money)
All customers on Go Cardless so no time wasted collecting cash.

You forgot paint your van red and fit blue lights.

And I would add start body building to that too

Hi Zesty, as a matter of interest what Flow rate do you use thanks

Lowest I go is 90 out of the 99 max on the controller.

Often I run at full chat, with 3mm pencil jets for better flow and less splash back. I found 2mm jets caused splash back and actually slowed rinsing.
