Hi Simon
When I was window cleaning in Kings Cross with my Dad, it must be the amount of flem and blood sometimes all over the windows, frames and sills and once it had time to dry over a couple of days it was a complete nightmare, and put you off anything to eat.
Now I do most of my stuff in the country villages it is the amount of bird mess one new job had a house martins nest over the window for the spring summer and the mess was about 1/4 ft high on the sill, all that from a little bird
haha

The customers usually call me and I have to go around and clean it off , the worst one was the condom as it had been placed high up on the window .

This was not on the window, but i was on a flat roof doin bedroom window and there beside my feet was a soiled condom. Well, i told the Mrs (when eating tea of course :
) not realising my mrs had just started working with this customer. Women being all gob as they are, mentioned this to the customer at work next day and she replied, "WHAT!! my husband has had the snip and my daughters only 14!!"
Ooops!!

This isn't the worst thing to be found on windows.... But what about the perfect imprint of pidgeons, blackbirds etc that have flown into freshly cleaned glass.
A year or so back i was chatting to a customer, having just cleaned the glass when there was an almighty bang, followed by a cloud of feathers and one very stunned pidgeon landed at her feet. I told her that the quality of her window clean even fooled professional flyers
Even in the white mark left on the glass you could see the surprised look on the birds face !!

My worst one was when I was called out to a house next door to a drug rehab unit, the gentleman living there had had some sort of argument with one of the residents so they kindly decided to deposit something that comes from where the sun don`t shine all over his bedroom window, god knows how they managed to throw it as it was a good 15 feet away from them, but I charged about £40 pound for five minutes work so it was worth the disgust.

not on a window but in the bushes in front of one was several syringes, it was a cheap hotel that seveeral bands use when they play here. refused to clean it unless they removed them. last thing i want is a month of tests. bit of a warning for all if you wade though undergrowth to get to a window look down first.
