picked up a new customer this week and while I was cleaning house she asked if I would pick dog muck up if she gave me £10 I said I would then she asked could I do it every month for £10 I said I will so long as the gardens not full of it. What would you do

Haha.

You should add it to your list of add ons  :D

Personally I wouldn't take it on as too busy with windows but could be a nice little sideline.

What a months worth of dog muck?
Each to their own i suppose personally i wouldn't do it (wouldn't have even gone in the garden to clean the windows if it was all laying about). What's that saying "where there's muck there's brass" definitely the case here  ;D

You must be desperate to pick up a load of poop every month for a tenner

£100.

If you agree to this she won't clean up any, you'll have a full month's worth. That's about 30 per dog.

£100 at least.

Mate,  what are you thinking!
So, not only do some people think very little of our job but now they've reduced you to picking up dog poo as well.
This is a very sad day

I personally would be offended if a customer asked me to do that.   >:(

So the garden is being used as a dog bog, then good old window cleaner picks up a month's worth of doggy doo for a tenner.!

Does the customer think so little of you that she is wanting you to do that because she can't or won't?

If I were you I would seriously think about dumping!

I think this is awesome, £120 a year (£130 if 4weekly!!)  for picking up dog crap. I just hope she doesn’t start saying ‘not today’ as then it’s 2 months worth for a tenner and could take a while

Just a thought; if she decided to go 8 weekly would she still want to pay the monthly fee or would you add say 25% making it £12.50?

Side note; who picks up your puke after you've cleared the dog plop?
We look at them, they look through them.

Perhaps ask Gardeners if they'll design a telescopic poopa scoopa save having to bend down, a carbon fibre one. Or ask if she has a  someone who cuts the grass and sub the job out to him  ;).

Dog crap, the window cleaners bane. Is it just me or is it especially bad this year as the colder winter has left people not as keen to go out and lift the stuff? I'm cracking up this year with it, had to drop a very well paid job  last month (or should I say they dropped me for asking them to clear it up) after unknowingly  trailing a hose through it and it rubbing on BOTH legs of my trousers with one leg smearing the vans steering wheel as I jumped in. First I knew of it was the stench and then it dawned on me what had happened. To add insult to injury I called to the offending house to try and work things out amicably explaining what had happened and had got the words 'I can't continue to clean your windows until you...' and was abruptly told to not come back again and had the door slammed in my face.
It's seems telling some people to clear up after their mutt is deeply offending.
