Is anyone on here a window cleaner in France?
« on: March 27, 2017, 06:42:58 pm »
Just looking at the possibility of setting up a window cleaning business in France. Wondered whether it would be feasible or not...
Can't say I've ever seen any WCs in France.

A new custy of mine has just moved back from France and they said they don't have them over there - whether that's true or not I don't know, maybe because they were in a village or something .

Doesn't look good reading that


I would imagine there will be a commercial side in   big city's .

Only place I've ever seen them in Europe was in Amsterdam.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

Don't tell anyone on here that you are thinking about becoming an immigrant.
They're eeeting the dogs.
They're eeeting the cats.
They're eeeting the pets,
of the people who live there.

One of my customers' son is a window cleaner in France. He has an Ionic system in a trailer but I believe he is commercial only.

Even if they open inwards, people still have to clean them. I would guess they would pay for it doing

I've got a customer in her sixties who owns 5 houses in France - I'm her first ever window cleaner (U.K of course) - reckons there's a need but could never find one.

I'm in Paris as I write this and there are lots of window cleaners. All very amateur though, probably charging a few euros for a shop. A professional outfit would have a notable prescence
