i will not do 8 weeks clean as you dont get any extra and you can not mke a living out of it ask them to eat every 8 weeks because thats what they are saying

You can get extra, and I make a living from it so it can be done, we offer 4,8,12 weekly and one off cleans  all I am happy with the payments each costing from from 4 upwards, changing the same for a 4 weekly and 8 weekly is clearly madness is it takes more time, it involves more work and you would need to customers to fill the same spot as a 4 weekly so cost you more in fuel ect, (point made)

Charge more for 8 weekly  or lose money 

i find 4 and weekly take the same time on maintenance cleans

i charge 50% more on 12 weekly though

you robber

I add between 25 and 50% for 8 wky service - depends on the property and how close other cleans are.

i will say that since i now do WFP on most things 4 wky is a very short amount of time, if i could restart i would do a 6 week cycle as i think that would give the best price for both me and custy

I Charge the same. What I do is make shore that if I have let's say  two 8 weekly cleans on a monday, ill do one of the cleans one month and the following month ill do the other. The reason for this is so that then I don't have to much work every 8 weeks and not as much ever 4 weeks. And I just moove my 8 week cleans around as I pick them up

just been asked to clean one custy on an 8wk basis i wil charge them £3.00 extra as custy is a pain at times and instead of ringing me to discuss this matter she sent me a letter asking for 8 wk clean , also she owns a dance studio i clean and when asked to do the insides which had not been done in 2yrs she said just do them when cleaner is there on a arranged day and time and invoice was not to botherd about the cost , so after i put the invoice i got a letter saying she was not happy about the price saying she would discuss this matter next time she saw me NO BLOODY PAYMENT THOUGH  did'nt get that for 4 wks

I don't see a problem with 8 weeks or even 12 weeks. Its the way forward IMO. The windows aren't any harder to clean and its still regular income. You are more or less guaranteed a happy customer for life. Also, you don't get bored having to keep going back there. Some customers I feel I'm never away.

There is a subtle implication in this that hasn't been picked up on by anyone else. If they only want 8 weeks or 12 weeks the chances are they are a bit more easygoing about their windows and not likely to be over critical.

I charge the same price for any frequency

I offer 6 weekly anyway to start with.
Larger domestic jobs (£40+) I wll do 12 weekly if they ask (I don't suggest it though).  However, I make it clear that 6 weeks may mean 6 - 8 weeks if I struggle to get around such as in a freeze-up or if I'm on holiday etc.
If they want it less frequently than 12 weeks, I normally decline.  However, if it's a large, lucrative job, then I do think of it as a not too bad first clean each time and price accordingly.  16 weekly or less and it's probably going to cost them 50% more per clean.  If the 16+ weeks has been caused by something that isn't down to them (e.g. a 12 weekly where I've been slow getting round) then naturally I don't charge the extra.
