They are using some sort of ladder stabiliser at the top of the ladder. Still looks
doggy though.

The bit that always makes me laugh, (and it's not just in w/c adverts) is the "Free Estimates" bit!....I mean does anybody actually charge to do an estimate?

Well, if I would be a customer, then I'd have no idea if they would charge me or not to quote my house, I mean, they have to drive to me, costs time and petrol. It would make me think about having to pay for a quote, so if a WC puts 'free quotes' or whatever on it, that would help me as being a noob customer.

Yeah I take your point!

[KarlJones]

I have just bought it!!!

dvd-dawn, thats me

From reading the description I now own
"PRESSED 4 TIME CLEANING SOLUTIONS"

I am not sure how many customers they have though so maybe it was a bad deal.  When should I inform the DSS?

[Paul Coleman]

The bit that got me was where it says:

"Poles are never used.  That means much cleaner glass and no drips."  The no drips I could go along with (though they are only temporary) but I would take issue with the "cleaner glass" claim.
Good luck to the guy but he might find the H & S on his back one day.

[poleman]

Could be wrong, but this bloke comes on here! well if that's the case bit of a own goal wouldn't you say, there should be 3 points on contact when using a ladder - even my old gran can see that's not the case  :

Good luck to him.
That's what I tell people, because it's the truth.

That's why I get so much work from ex-wfp accounts.

I have checked a fair bit of my work from the inside at times and sometimes it is true what he says.  However, most of the time I reckon my WFP work is cleaner than my trad work.  I am excluding the first clean or two though as sometimes it can take a while for WFP to get the detergent film off.
I say good luck to the guy as well Squeaks but I wouldn't fancy doing what he's doing on a ladder.

[Mike_G]

I wonder what this protective spray he uses is?

[Sir Squeaky]

I'd rather not have to bother with jobs like that, but if I did I wouldn't feel unsafe doing it.
I've done loads of jobs like that over the years, and I expect the rest of us have too.

Since wfp everyone's hypocritical and changed their opinion. :
Don't be such girls, he knows what he's doing.

There were things I used to do on a ladder some years ago that I stopped doing.  Long before I switched to WFP, I used a telescopic pole with applicator/squeegee on the end.  This was after I had a couple of near misses that got me looking at other ways to clean certain windows.
So I suppose I became a girl a long time before I started on the WFP road.  Nope.  Just looked.  I'm definitely still male.
