I just finished my quarterly cleans today, i have quarterly cleans every friday.

9 jobs, on one road all semi detached 3 bed, one car driveway houses, started at 9:30am finished at 3:30  didnt rush the work just got on and cleaned, also had someone stop and ask me today how much i charge, "£38" for these houses, "£38??" Shocked....my window cleaner charges £14  so im like well ok.. im here every three months.."three months?" Yep oh mine comes i think every 4 weeks although i last saw him 3 weeks ago he has cleaned a bit early the cheeky g**t Me:"so if you were to use my service, id spend about 40 mins on your house, do a propper clean, and it will cost you less  over the year than having them done for £14 every 4 weeks (£182 a year, vs my price of £152 a year) now who is more expensive to use? Me or mr £14??

You’re going to have a problem when you employ. An employee won’t take 40 minutes to clean a 3 bed house. Swinging the lead that is. 15 minute job.

Ummm yeah.. well that's your opinion i guess. I did say i wasnt rushing today, nothing wrong with that.

And why is there going to be a problem when i employ? If im paying someone by the hour, id rather that individual take a little more time and care on the customers house than make them work as fast as possible whacking out jobs in less than 15mins.

Just my take on it..

Just my experience. If you’re employing full time people in my opinion you’re best giving them a job list to do than paying hourly. What’s the point of paying someone to work slowly? They’ll just do the job at the correct rate and be parked up on their phones for hours.

You're over complicating it mate. Most people don't know or care when the window cleaner is coming!

I would rather pay the extra 30 smackers and get 9 more cleans throughout the year, so it would be Mr £14 for me😉. If he had a full schedule it would at most be 12 cleans per year so only 16 quid more for an extra 8 cleans...sounds even more appealing, you’re sacked😂

Exactly, the general consensus is that the longer the time elapsed between visits the dirtier the windows. Therefore with you the customer has to wait a protracted period of time before they get clean windows.

I'd rather pay £14 and see how good a job he does.
