Visited the Olds for a week. Ma kept hinting how her windows needed a touch up, and raved about her local cleaner. Good strategy by her, she knows how to stir the competitiveness in me.
They have zero window cleaning gear, so i made it a challenge for myself. Scrounged up what I could use; old broom, bucket, scourer, and spend no more than $10 on gear. I would normally price the job at about $200.
Off to the local hardware store n supermarket
$7 - half decent squeegee
$1 - vinegar
$1 - cheapo dish concentrate
Did the old 50ml vinegar; 50ml dish wash; 5ltr water mix that I learnt on my very first day.
Knocked it over in 2.5hrs with some pausing of bevies.
How was the experience for you?
Like you said you cleaned $200 WORTH OF GLASS with $10 worth of tools and product with plenty of product left and still have the tools do due more jobs, Why do you need $5k worth of tools?
does the 5k make you more then $10 set of ok tools and product…Hmmmm?
I tell a lot of customers that a good window cleaner can do a great job with almost anything that is used, but what we use makes it much easier and safer.
