99% of my work is 6-8-12 weekly I don’t charge anymore for up to 12 weeks between cleans as I charge higher anyway,anymore than that I would charge slightly more.
Initially when quoting I’ve always found you can charge more 6 weekly or bi monthly over monthly stuff,monthly cleans just come round to quick and don’t give you scope to catch up.

Set up your round geographically in a sensible route*.  If necessary, spend a couple of days with a map and plan a route.

Then effectively you drive round the route every 4 weeks, over the 4 weeks.  If there's a street with a mix of customers, you just do the ones that are due. Every other time, you're missing your 8-weekly customers. If you take a week off, everybody is done a week late. Each day starts where you broke off yesterday. Within that general rule you also know who wants a 7.45 clean and who has asked you only to be there in the afternoon, but the principle still holds.

It's simple, effective and minimises your mileage. I do 3,000 miles a year nowadays.

That's exactly how I work my round with maybe the odd reschedule here and there....

This way no day is vastly overloaded more than another as I like to keep my working days to a pretty even amount of hours(5-6 hour days)....

I also only drive around 3000 miles a year in my van which both keeps fuel costs down and wear and tear....

It's called basic common sense...
