When i looking into window cleaning the biggest pet hate customers did not like was, the frames are never cleaned or the sills are never wiped after.

So i based my selling point on cleaning Frames. I have picked up alot of customer with this and i make sure i charge more for this service. I am approx 50 - 60% more than another window cleaners in my area and customers are happy to pay for a professional service i provide.

Unless of course your happy with your lot then thats your choice, for me I would rather go with the norm and make a good living at the same time, by cleaning the frames if required when asked or I have sold the option to the customer and charged accordingly

Post by: pjulk on August 30, 2004, 06:32:04 pm: I always wipe round frames and sill,Can't see the point of cleaning the window if you don't as your work is let down by the dirt on the frames and sill.
