I avoid locked gates , so i only have to have contact with them after the clean....
for the money.
If i asked all my customers , if they wanted them cleaned this month, i bet 50% would say no.
It has to be done with some of you i know, ... but a couple of years ago ,i text lots fo customers to leave gates open etc, ...
it was a nusiance,as they replied ok !... then the gate was locked !.... they forgot!
i dont think !
Also it gave them the opportunity to say leave it this month, ..
i tend to do locked gates as a "one off " clean , and its priced accordingly ,as generally they are other cleaners cast off ,s .
problems.
