With blood, do not wash in hot water. Use cold water only. When it comes to blood, a protein stain, hot water can also set stains, making them more difficult to remove. This is the opposite of how you treat most stains (where you want to treat it at the same temperature the stain is created at)

Great 'tip' Smudger 😂

Been cleaning with cold for 25 years never had a problem

Its horrible though......esp in winter.....I hate working with cold water.....I'd never go back to cold water cleaning

Trouble is you have to earn thousands and thousands to pay for hot the way you do it😳😳

I never used to much. The guys that work for me get quite a lot though. I’ve always felt that as a self employed guy you get more if a: you’re chatty, or b: you’re cheap. Workers are seen differently I think and will just get tips regardless.

Minus three and freezing fog driving to work this morning. minus one degree when I started cleaning the windows, this time of year prefer warm  over hot or cold water so hose is manageable but doesn't freeze as soon as it touches the glass.  Manage to practice some sideward skids on the untreated roads before getting to the main (treated) roads, same again tomorrow, joys of winter working below freezing  :)

In years of using these things I can tell you it’s pointless buying the high end ones, without exception they all fail at some point.

I buy these ones, a couple at a time, and view them as a disposable item that will last 6 months tops. Sound quality is excellent on them too.

They are wireless. They are linked together but are not linked to your phone.

Hows everyone doing?
I'm on £140 and a bottle of red, I haven't even sent any xmas cards either  :D

Wow you have a generous round! All that by November 29th too!!

Mine tends to pick up more the closer we get to Christmas. Makes the cold weather more bearable  ;D

Jon, i haven't collect now since i pretty much took over those rounds you gave me a few years back, and still getting £200+ in tips each year.  Must be my sex appeal to the old biddies  ;D

Got a £60 tip today.....it was from a customer who won £11 million on the lottery a while back🤑 Think it was ‘only’ £40 I got from him last year, he must have got a better interest rate for his savings account😆

Had a couple £20’s today which takes my total to £52 😃

Last day of domestics tomorrow before Christmas so I’d be surprised if I got to £100, but that’s fine.

Commercial work all the way after tomorrow and that’s a big fat 0 when it comes to tips.

Picked up a £300 8 weekly office today also which is nice .
