Jef1 - How did you clean the glass roof on those conservatories? Did you use TFR? So far, Ive only used TFR on polycarbonate roofs as Im a little scared to use it on glass roofs. Are they pilkington glass and is that ok with TFR? sorry for all the questions!!  :

[geefree]

for me tfr is fine, its all non caustic stuff now nearly.... i went to cleaners merchants, bought 5 litre hard surface cleaner , scented orange.... it brought the lot off, brilliant... and my customers love the small of oranges it leaves behind.... oh little things n all that

If its a pilkington roof just use pure water, if its an ordinary glass roof I wash with ecover first then use a 10' carwash brush connected to mains tap, finished off with a rinse of pure, polycarbonate roofs just get ecover treatment then a wash with the carwash brush, no need to rinse with pure.

[geefree]

thanks ro... will do...

jeff i learn every day from you...

i do exactly the same as you with con roofs.... but i polish off with pure on every one.... i wont be doing from now on....

but on second thoughts, i love the way it shines after final rinse... oh i love my job

Your just wasting your pure on polly roofs, they will still shine with tap water, and you wont get white spots.

So how do you know its pilkington glass rather than ordinary glass. Is there a Pilkington badge or something?

Gaza - sorry for hijacking your thread  :

[geefree]

yes, i suppose.... also its another time saving thing... as we all know , instead of simply polishing it off with pure , we tend to give the whole thing another mini wash over, and it does take time.

no worries .. its all good info... and commercial too : )

[jeff1]

 Pilkington glass is identified by a little logo or text often found in the corner, usually you will find any info you need about the glass in the corner of every window, I.e. Pilkington, argon and so on.

Last question I promise (Wife is sending me to bed!!)

Is Ecover better for removing dirt than non-caustic TFR??

Good night gents

[jeff1]

I think ecover is the corgies conkers, it does an excellent job and its eco friendly a lot of custys seem to like this idea.
Its a little more expensive but in my mind well worth it, have a look on my web in the guttering section to see the results of ecover.

When you've checked it out get to bed, I'm trying to eat my bananas in custard Lol

I have about 70% commercial 30% dom.
It takes time to get good commercial work be patient right place right time.

[drakestar!]

Ive been getting some commercial work in but i find that a lot of big companies take back handers so we have no chance!

I went to 1 breakfast meeting last December and from that I got a monthly job from 1 office, a 6 monthly job from a large industrial building and a 6 weekly job from a medium sized industrial building.
I was also asked to quote for another medium Industrial building but didnt get it and another building I turned down because of access.
All of this is from 1 breakfast meeting that cost me £10. totally recommend it!!

I belong to a local networking club, been a member for about two years.  I go to all the breakfast meeting because I enjoy the banter.  Never had a single job as a result, though, the only reason I stay a member (apart from the breakfasts!) is that the organiser is a customer, and we charge him more for cleaning his windows than he does for us being members of his club

My daughter Michelle picked up 2 large residential care homes today apart from that she priced 7 domestics and got 6 out of them, I thought we were in a recession?

[geefree]

thanks for all your help.... whats a breakfast club/meeting 

[Central Window Cleaners]

I have been going to breakfast club meeting for a year now and not a single job from it. So have decided not to renew the membership this year.

[matt]

thanks for all your help.... whats a breakfast club/meeting 

its a bit like a boys club ( though i believe girls can join )

you go along, met others who take about how successfull they are and what new BMW they are going to get next

the idea is to network and exchange details and get work from it, it rarely happens like that though

next step up is the masons, bigger and better and you do get results
