how often do you clean your own windows.

my partner asked me yesterday if she could book an appointment for me to clean our windows, i think she was trying to tell me something?

I cleaned them once, about six years ago; we just moved in and they were bogging.  Wor Lass has cleaned them ever since.

Up until recently I had a window cleaner ! He cleaned my windows, I cleaned his, they were always done every month without fail and everyone was happy. Sadly, he's switched to office cleaning now.

I usually do mine every six weeks or so.

Recently though, I've been telling myself  'not today', so I may dump and get two more.

Had some chap come round canvassing the other day. When the Mrs heard me asking him to give me a quote, she shouted out "Don't you dare you lazy @@@@@@" !

Fair play to the bloke tho.

I do mine, 2 next door and 1 opposite together 8 weekly.
Would be less frequent for mine but they pay and my kit's out so might as well while I'm there.

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

I did mine the other day wfp, I'm sat here looking out of said window and thinking about giving up my day job.  :o
I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

I'm as bad as some of my customers.

I live 14 floors up and on a hill less than a mile from the sea. Every time it blows a gale, which now seems to be frequently, the windows get covered in salt. Consequently I keep thinking that there's no point in cleaning them.

I've been in this flat 3 years and have cleaned them twice.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.
