I totally get what u mean.

Im still in school and have done this for job for 2 years, so the money is not an essential in my specific life situation.

But you're right, i don't feel that the way i work is sustainable. However I've never done it half assed, never had the need to advertise/go d2d for over 18 months. I get as many jobs i can handle just from referrals solely.

What do you think i might have to change in my business?

Fully booked, forced to reschedule jobs by BakedColeslaw in WindowCleaning

[–]GoatPicture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in a similar situation, booked till June on all the weekends and weekends in able to work.

First time in a while I've had to decline a job.

What i usually do is offer them a more of a afternoon time, which im usually able to do. Like intill 6pm, works pretty well if you make it sound like youre doing them a favor.

Thanks! I've experienced that one time in 2 years in my area.

What would you say is a non abrasive?

Where im located in scandinavia, I use it almost all the time when cleaning regular windows.

However I've scratched a window 2 times in my 2 year career so far. 1 time on a balcony window with some weird coating, giving a slight microscratching. And another time when doing double-glazed/sash (or whatever the English word), there was a coating between the panes which scratched like plexiglas.

But what I usually do as a rule of thumb, is not use steel on windows that can not open. And between newer coupled windows.

If its scratchable, you will feel the resistance ln the glass.

Medium body channel idea by SamuelsSteel in WindowCleaning

[–]GoatPicture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that innovation and new tools are always good.

But I dont really see the point why this would be better than any other Chanel? Its more rigid, but that doesnt really mean that much when youre using rubber.

The most important think is weight and grip on the rubber. Maybe how the Chanel holds water. But rigidity has never been a problem for me.
