As ive said loads of times in the past its its not about how many houses in a day its all about the quality of the houses you clean ! ie the price you charge.

I never clean more than 10 houses in any day i start at 9 and finish at 3, it has took me a long time to acheive this but now my round is the envy of alot of my fellow shiners in my area.

I used to have around 360 houses and an employee, but since turning wfp 2 years ag the employee has gone and my round now consists of 166 houses, none below £10.00 and alot over the £25.00 mark .

I dont work on  a monthly or 6 weekly basis, i just work from the top of the list and when i reach the bottom i just start again, the norm because of the weather is around a month though, but at the moment and because of xmas some will be 6 and a half weeks, customers dont mind because(and i,m not blowing my own trumpet) when i,ve cleaned them theyre cleaned GOOD.

how anyone can do 60 houses per day is beyond me.

10 to 17 in a day mainly above a tenner now ,, still growing, and as i get a few more 10s 15s and 20+ houses the small ones will eventually go.

to be honest when i first started doing w/c i made myself a promise to hit all large semis and detached at decent prices and that way i would have a profitable good payers etc round eventually,

and its turning into that now, it is a slower trying to build such a round but worth it in the end,

also i have worked in the past as a debt collector and know too well, how hard it is to get people to pay each week.

so dodgy council estates are a definate no go for me,
the customers i have i hope... all seem to have cheque books and bank accounts, so i dont have to be given the runaround by the ..... lets just say the dodgy crew.

Ronaldo - I like your posting - its sensible and believable!

Some of the postings on here sound crazy.

I'm sure the state of some of the windows that are supposedly cleaned in seconds (or less) leave a lot to be desired.

Some house owners have probably never had their windows cleaned properly so they won't know a good job from an average one (or bad one!).

Also, many people just aren't brave enough to complain.

So what is your average price on houses you charge mate....thats a lot cleans  for earning around £150?

£10-£15 A HOUSE 15-20 HOUSES A DAY . WINDOW CLEANING IS THE BEST KEPT WAGE SECRET I KNOW . IF I TELL PEOPLE HOW MUCH I CAN EARN MOST DONT BELIEVE IT

it is all about the quality of the houses like you said ronaldo.

I know someone that used to clean loads in a day but they were all £2.50 front onlys, just two windows and a door. if your round is mostly these you'll whip through 60 a day no problem!

i do between 30-35 bewteen the two of us. just normal 3 beds. if i do bigger house it can go as low as 15 a day for the two of us
....   qualtiy, not quantity!

between 6.50 and 10.00 i charge iv thought about putting them all up but worried will lose loads of customers. most are 7-8 pounders

Oh I'm sorry for having a dig about you wanted to buy that trolley for sale a while ago...had a bad day,Did you buy the trolley?

I bought a pure freedom trolley that was posted on this site on Monday, is that the one you meant? I personally would rather change customers than use a trolley. It's for someone else to use

thats easily acheivable. But you ideally need someone working for you, and you need to be very disapplined!
