Osha clean

Seems there are more of these marketing companies advertising on the net that don't actually clean windows , just take a cut from the cleaner.
Anyone registered with them ?
Spit and polish

It's an alternative to a paid directory listing websites which died a death a few years ago. So now they just take the leads and pass them on for a set fee instead.  Easy money to be made for sure that's if they get plenty of mugs to join up.

Hi,

It's great to have your feedback on the service that we are providing, thank you.

Our focus is to offer a service that allows customers to book and pay in a safer and more convenient way and to do that they are paying a small premium. The window cleaners that are registered with us do not pay a set fee, we give them the job details and the price and they can choose whether to accept the job or not.

The benefit to a window cleaner is that there is no requirement to allocate time or money to advertising or collecting monies owed.

You can find more information here https://www.osha-clean.com/partners.html and we are more than happy to answer your questions via this forum.

All the best Louise

Safer?

Are we that dangerous that customers need a safer way to pay us?

I think safer refers to the fact you don't have to collect cash and potentially carry a lot round with leaving it open to being lost or stolen.

I think not as the statement directly refers to the customer benefit and not the cleaner.

How is paying OSHA more convenient for the customer than paying the window cleaner?
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.

I wouldn't be happy about the 'day to suit you' bit.  That doesn't go well with a nicely organised round.

On the 'About Us' page it says the customer is in control of when they have their windows cleaned.  Have these Osha people actually looked into how a window cleaning ROUND works?

One off cleans? 

Pay a premium to pay electronically - do we really charge for that?

Upfront deposit. - good luck with that one.

We have yet to see their pricing structure which I'm betting will be good for a laugh too.

What happened to the housewife who set up "wecleanyourwindowdows.com" ?? All these are the same,  just a middleman trying to rape a bit more off the top, they take no risks - if fact you won't get your "cut" until over seven days after the customer pays them - but "us" as the partner have a contract with them "oh no cleaning" and must use thier cards, and make no approach to the customer ?? If "oh on" book me they pay me on completion - if customer fails to pay them - tough!!

These people think us windy's walk around dragging our knuckles on the ground and are too thick to offer direct debits, online banking etc...

People in the trade couldn't make this work, so I give this mob 6 months before it vanishes into history
