| Customers and washboys | | I tiled a conservatory recently and the client looked in during the day making the appropriate appreciative noises. When i had finished laying the tiles he enquired how i grouted, then when i showed him he asked how i was going to get them clean again. Out came the wash boy and the floor which was a nice easy to clean glazed floor tile was cleaned in no time at all. So impressed he was with the wash boy i had to send him a link via email of where he could buy one for cleaning the floor over the coming years.
Maybe i should carry stock because thats the 3rd washboy i could have sold to a customer. | | |

After all you can use them by your own as your actual wash boy will not be your last one, isn“t it? Take 5, sell 3-4, have 1-2 spare.  | You get what you pay for. |
