« on: February 07, 2006, 06:34:06 pm »
How many of you out there clean your own windows.?
I know i dont, i pay a window cleaner to clean mine because
i know if i didint they would not get done. ;)

And for what he charges me i couldent be bothered to get the ladders off, Also i hate it when i have to clean the insides
moving orniments & furnture.

Cheers Jeff.

I can't be be bothered to clean mine. As a carpet cleaner, should i be taking part in this forum? I'm just interested. I stopped a couple of window cleaners in our street, but they said they had enough customers on their round, then low and behold we had a chap knock on our door saying that he was starting up a round.

More than happy to help out somebody local, and he reminded me of my old foreman, we saw him a couple of times, often infrequently or when he was skint, then no more.

I suppose i will have to clean then myself, wont i?

Probably do mine every 6-8 weeks or so. Inside and out. Left some shocking streaks down them last time. Hope i'm doing a better job on my customers'

Clean my own windows....

I have a window cleaner who charges a ridiculously low price.

I keep offering him more but he won't take it.

Why?

He does an almost perfect job - better than I can do.

hey Terry, are you really the fastest window-cleaner, I've seen you in the Guinness book but I reckon a half decent wfper will be far quicker.  What you think??
