First cleans north west of Liverpool first cleans depending on the size of the property and what areas your working I would say first clean prices I would say if your charging £15.00 for the house you should be able to charge around the £30.00 mark for first clean depending on the size of the property and of course the most important how well of area your working

Hi Darren, Do I need to swap brushes to a clean brush after using the Ubik, or is a rinse at the end of my cleans good enough if I use the same brush?
@Darren-Green

As the bristles are usually a nylon base they rinse off really quickly and easily, When I have UBIX on my brush I just keep scrubbing till the bubbles stop - then I know I am pretty much there and ready to clean windows.

I ve been a traditional window cleaner for 15 years but have been using WFP for the last month now.I've noticed on some windows i get a milky residue drying in the centre of some windows.Any idea what would cause this and how to avoid it happening in the future?? I always clean them again if i notice it while im still there but have been called back to 1 or 2 the following day for this issue!!

DOTSYirl it is usually where the frames have been previously cleaned with a cream cleaner like Cif for example and then not rinsed off properly. Still happens to me on occasion just deal with the call back politely and know that by clean #2 they will be fine.

No a house that size was a one-time clean it would be closer to £200 full stop the first clean charge is only £45 because we will be cleaning that property regularly for approximately £15 per month thereafter . in the UK windows cleaned monthly or bi-monthly on average

If you mean drip marks after it's dried then there's two possible scenarios. A: You aren't scrubbing and more importantly rising thoroughly enough amd there's still a degree of dirt particles that arent completely rinsed off. B: Your water isn't at 000 on the TDS and this is causing spotting. Hope this helps.
