    • @squeakycleandave1
      @squeakycleandave1  5 років тому +1

      James Styles a backpack in your car is a great way to start and build up your round. I does make a real difference having a van and not having to carry barrels of water and fill up your backpack but keep at it and the van will come in time. 👍

    Absolutely brilliant channel Dave.
    I love how you sacrifice your own spare time to give step by step advice to others.
    I myself have a small window cleaning round (2 days a month) which is a mix of trad and wfp .. The rest of the month I fit windows, fascias and guttering..
    I have the pure water filling up in my shed so that is no problem at all and I use a facelift backpack with Harris pole which is ok for now..
    I've been looking at the clx22, gardiners swivel and the 35cm Dupont ultimate brush... Do you think it would be worth me getting this along with a univalve?..
    Eventually I'm going to get a 400l baffled tank for the van and possibly build the round up more and leave the window fitting I reckon.
    Thank you for your great channel

      T T Teesside-Wildcamp thanks very much for your kind words they are really appreciated👍
      I actually started off with a 18’ aluminium Harris pole but I found that twisting the clamps gave me tennis elbow so I actually upgraded to a clx18.
      Compared to the Harris they are a fantastic pole but if you can stretch yourself a bit further the slx is much better.
      I love the ultimate brushes and the DuPont is probably the best one as long as you aren’t using hot water which sends them a bit soft.
      Hope the round goes well and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need any advice with anything 👍

    how do you manage in the winter months dave

    • @squeakycleandave1
      @squeakycleandave1  5 років тому +1

      I have an immersion heater fitted in my tank so I fill up at the end of the day and put the heater on which gets the water up to about 50 degrees centigrade. this makes cleaning easier and stops the water and the inside of the van from freezing. I have also insulated the inside of the van which helps a little. 👍

    Wat type of battery do u need to run pumps

    • @squeakycleandave1
      @squeakycleandave1  3 роки тому

      It needs to be a 12volt leisure battery. The higher the ah the more power it stores. For a one man set up minimum 75ah and for a 2 man set up minimum 100ah but you can use bigger for both setups
