WHEN I STARTED WINDOW CLEANING 2 YEARS AGO I FOUND THAT IF IT RAINS, YOU DON'T EARN ANY MONEY, SO I STARTED OFFICE CLEANING EARLY IN THE MORNING ( BEFORE I STARTED MY WINDOW CLEANING) THERES SOME GOOD MONEY TO BE MADE, YOU CAN CHARGE FROM £12.00-£15.00 PER HOUR, I NOW HAVE 6 CLEANS EVERY MORNING, 5 DAYS A WEEK WHICH BRINGS IN £310 A WEEK RAIN OR SHINE, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE WHO DO'S THE SAME?

I do similar myself although I've chosen to work on the PAYE for other people with these sort of jobs.  The disadvantage is (obviously) a lower income from it.  The advantages are that I earn some extra money with much less responsibility.  Also, because I earn more than my personal allowance from window cleaning, I am taxed on these jobs at the basic rate (i.e 22%).  This means that my half yearly tax bill is a bit less when I receive it.

hi petski2

what i done was to go around shops, offices, and see what the standard of cleaning was, if it was bad i would send letter and offer my services, it seems to have worked for me

  I also do grass cutting and often earn £30/hr, also gutter cleaning is good

I do office cleaning as well but after 10 yrs of it I am cutting back. Its ok if you have good people to cover you when you are ill or on holiday but if you havent then its hassle.
I now only do one contract which is 2 times a week and brings in £60 which is due to go up. I find any more than that and you may as well be working for an employer cause you are completely tied.
