did an internal/external clean last week and needed double ladders fully opened for INSIDES,   have never come across a house where you neeed double ladders fully extended to clean the insides.

problem was when I quoted for it I didn't go inside just took a mirror image of the outside and owner said nothing,   when I came to clean the house had 4 times the glass inside than outside as there were long glass panels everywere       it was a bit of a nightmare and what I planned for a 2-3 hour job took nearly 5 hours.

as it was my fault as I never looked inside  I stayed at the same price I quoted but said any future cleans would be done at a revised price,  thankfully the lady dropped me a fifty spot besides the cheque  and she fed me as well.

said she's looking to have it done4 3-4 times a year,  vikan easyshine may just be the answer next time because the staircases between floors are so awkward for carrying ladders up and down.

Wagtails are perfect for inside cleans - less water to fly about.

Buy one!!!!
You watch someone and they make it look easy (wagga showed me when I first started out)
then you have a go and its wierd (nothing like a normal blade)
then you get used to it (takes a little while)
then you wont be without it

I use Amway glass cleaner.Spray it on minimally,use win wash to apply over all window,squeegee off and detail edges with microfibre cloth.
The results are excellent...little or no mess to mop up and very quick.I have cleaned windows for over 10 years traditionally and this is the easiest way of cleaning interior glass.TRY IT .No this is not a plug for amway but If you need to order the product please contact me(full details on website) its about £1.90 per can (500 ml) and goes a very long way.Dont even carry water now,just damp the winwash first.
