Early morning jobs would get cleaned in the dark.  There's not a problem with it; you can see well enough to do a decent job.

Customer perception may differ though, however if you price correctly and work at a fairly decent rate, you should turn over a good amount before it gets dark.

Funny thing-If I clean early in the dark i'm 'dedicated, hard working' If I clean after dark in the evening i'm 'taking the pi$$'
Depends on the customer. You soon know where you can be in the dark and/or rain.

Good point, if you're working that long and that ard that you clean domestic customers in the dark, you must be very rich and have customers who don't mind people on their property in the dark looking through their windows while they're getting their evening meal or watching TV etc.

If I caught anyone on my property in the dark, I'd hit them with anything I could get hold of.

I have a friend who does domestics up to 10pm. Don't know how he gets away with it.

He's a top guy but he's as nutty as a fruitcake!

Being diplomatic is being able to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.
