    Home Office

    Newbies & Prices

    Back when there were no price guides or chat boards to reflect prices, I used an old system learned by many - the WAG method of estimating (Wild A** Guess). After years of "training", and gaining "experience" in the field, we went on to the SWAG method (Scientific, Wild A** Guess). Basically, I...

    Broken window

    I clean 32 bank sites monthly - funny thing trying to keep people from their money, they just don't understand it's for their own safety. I made up some signs politely stating that the ATM's are temporarily closed. We put them on orange delineators near the entrance so that folks don't even get...

    I need help with this one.

    Dan - First off, if that was as short as possible, I'm glad that you didn't go for the long version, you might have crippled yourself :>:. I felt on a previous board I used to visit, most of the aggravation was started by a select few. The strings of posts were at times humorous, but mostly...

    Hey Duane from Clean Image

    Hey JR - My first choice, Walks On Water Inc. was already taken so I had to think of something else...... Actually, I read a good book that advised using a name, other than your own personal name, for your business. I had used my own name for years , so I started thinking about the...

    Touchless window cleaning

    Someone gave me this mix a few months ago - used it on some large commercial buildings and a few houses too. I'm not into using a squeege, but it really works well if that's all you have. I mounted a couple of DI tanks on one of our trailers, so we brush it on windows as needed and rinse with a...
