Hello again everyone
I'm a solo residential window cleaner currently working around 4-5 hours doing 9-10 houses daily. I use a 250l tank with just half a rinse bar with just a standard gardiner brush on the pole as it tends to use less water. I make about £30 an hour on average and made about 23k last year but sometimes I feel like I could be doing alot better because people have said they are making £50-70 an hour on here in the past and god knows how much a year. I charge £10 for a standard 2/3 bed which seems to be the standard rate in my area (black country) so I feel I wouldn't really be successful charging anymore as people moan about my prices now. The round is fairly compact most jobs around 10-15 houses away from eachother. I suppose I'm just looking for advice on how I could be going quicker as I'm not sure how I could especially when alot of my clients have hydrophobic glass and it takes longer to clean. I use this pump
Pump Box with 80psi pump on the lowest speed (to save water) with a Gardiner slx pole. I'm ready to upgrade all my equipment if it's going to make a real difference. So any advice on technique, equipment or anything in general that could help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys
