Most I have done so far is £4 i think.

£2 gets a little look, £1 is nothing, 50p and they laugh.

Some are stupidly priced though. £14.50 for about 7 mins worth of cleaning. But i dont want 50p's lol so they went up :D

when i hit 200 customers (hopefully around august time) i will be doing my first price increase since i started in sept 2010! any work i picked up the last 2 years is priced well so i will leave that, but anything else will be getting a £1-2 increase just to catch up with my recent pricing :)

not looking forward to it though! dont want to loose anybody

DONT WORRY MATE!most of your fears are unfounded!if they moan just explain to them you have to put them up sometime! ;)

look how much the cost of living has gone up in the last 4 or 5 years!

if your reliable and do a good job you wont lose many!if any at all!

BE CONFIDENT! ;D

This week i have picked up 3 £14 houses. SO not bothered at all.

You just get stuck in a habit sometimes. we do 8 out of the 7 and its good money BUT i picked up a pair of semis for £14 each. First clean took 30 mins for the pair. Gotta love these new estates with these tiny tiny windows lol

Yeah i have a few like that. One lady said we was sooo cheap. She went from £10 to £11.

I said i do 3 in a row and each house takes 10 mins or less.

Should have seen her face when she worked out £33 now for 30mins work lol.

But i said, if we was £15 would you have us, yes she said DOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
