Died and Gone to Heaven

We have upgraded from a van mount and brodex 50 l trolley to 2 SS Reelmasters and hot water.
Anyone contemplating a electric reel get one what a difference it makes.

Lol well done the trouble is some people just don’t listen about the hot water and electric reel combination,they think you come on here and waste your time just bragging coz you’ve got that setup.
Nothing ever seems as good Until you’ve got it to use for yourself that’s when you realise some people weren’t just bragging they were actually offering good advice

Agree defiantly with electric reel, I was able to have one bespoke made and would never go back. Just need to get the hot water fitted now!

i was sceptical too with the electric reels but every little helps.....all the little tweaks to your equipment make a big difference over the course of a working day/week/month/year IMO....
price higher/work harder!

I was 50 last year and this year all the wear on my joints started to effect how I feel when I get home from a hard day.
If you can afford the electric hose reel or even make one do it sooner rather than later.

If you think hot water has changed things wait till you get the electric reel,I would never go back to manual reeling in again ever.

I’m looking forward to getting hot water and boiling a brush to death once a fortnight.

Yep, several years ago there was a post about how many houses ones can clean in a day. Everyone took mess as didnt beleive my response.  Yet when you have a set up which works well for you due to such little tweaks and you know your round well. It can easily be achieved. So now i just cant help but to bite with the nah sayers but personally I dont care if ones listen or respond because like you said, if you know, you know.

Thing is I used cold water yesterday and  I used hot water today as it was frosty overnight.  Guess what? I cleaned the same amount of work both days. For some strange reason hot water doesn’t make my arms push the pole up and down any faster and doesn’t make the water come out the jets any faster for a quicker rinse.

You must have scrubbed to much or you didn’t need to,did you have a look at some of the windows you cleaned with cold water I suspect you didn’t.
A give away as I’ve said before with cold water is upstairs if you do insides you’ll know what I’m on about.

I clean my own windows so have checked from the inside on many occasions, the results are the same for both downstairs and upstairs....clean windows...If you are getting differing results between downstairs and upstairs windows  that would point to user error rather than how hot or how cold your water is.

Depends how big is your house are the top windows 12-14ft high if so yeah you can get enough weight and leverage onto the glass,now clean windows that are dirty  twice that height and go inside and check after cold water.
Windows that are not that dirty will be easy using hot or cold water,this time of the year or with the weather we’ve had lately without hot water my job would have been a nightmare.

More full off nonsense than caffeine, to post that you could clean 35 properties with conservatories a day using cold left you nowhere to go when you decided to wibble on about the effects of hot, you just didn't have the sense to realise this.

Going by your past posts I'm not sure what you prefer, if your hot system went belly up tomorrow and your only choice was to spend another £5k to replace it I would guarantee we would spend the next year on here listening to you telling us it made no difference.

I'm not so sure.
I've seen Nate tradding  and I reckon he could knock out 35 properties with conservatories traditionally.
The windows might not be clean though.

NWH, I've been a member on here for years and years, and one of the very few people on here that actually got it right is you.

The majority of people on here just don't have a clue what they are talking about when it comes to window cleaning. Especially when it comes to using hot.

I come back here once in a while and I just shake my head at all the nonsense people spout and I just think, yep, I'm done with that again! Your posts, although I haven't always agreed with every single thing you say, are a breath of fresh air.

Well done sir, and good on you.

Cheers Tim yeah as I say I don’t  mean to sound like I Bragg it just frustrates me that some people can’t see the wood for the trees and all that with certain things to do with WFP,ask me about a brush I’ll tell you the truth have I wasted my hard earned with a hot system I’ll tell you is it really worth buying a VW over a Vivaro again I will give a truthful opinion.
What I try to do is save people there time and money by listening I know now years on you only need 3 brushes if you do mainly domestic work because I’ve tried literally dozens of the things,is hot water really worth between 3500-5000 grand I’ll give an honest opinion I’ve used it for 13-14 years.
I learn all the time on here from people but if I purchased something and I feel it was a waste of money I won’t only say I’ll say why I think it is,just an honest opinion.
