[Clean Cloth]

For the last 3 years I have worked in light to moderate rain and waited for it stop and carry on rather than come home and waste a day.

But I do admit it is difficult to clean them to a good standard when it is raining, cloths get soaked just from a couple of windows. Difficult to detail.
I would think WFP can carry on as you do not dry the frames or glass.

Even though it was not raining when I cleaned a few this morning I had a couple of customers say "oh, I did not expect you to come today", and "in future I do not want my windows cleaned if it is going to rain later that day". I have a few that have told me, "after you came last time it rained".

Difficult to please everyone, all the time.

its been truly awful this morning here in the north west....wet and windy....luckily for me i only had 3 commercial jobs to clean which can be cleaned in even the worst of weather so did them this morning no problems...

im glad to be home and dry now though......

it doesnt look as bad for the rest of the week mate....

I didn’t work today , iv found the key to success in this job is a 4 day week. It gives you 1 day off if it’s either peeing down all day or you just want a 3 day weekend every week

I find it handy to have a list of fascia/gutter cleans in the diary that can be done when it’s forecast terrible like today. That’s what I’ve done this morning.

Looking better for this afternoon so I’ll get through some houses until I’ve had enough.

In the words of Mick and Keith, "you can't always get what you want".

I have a standing joke with one of my customers as it seems no matter the forecast whenever I clean his windows it rains.  It's happened so many times even I find it embarrassing.  Thankfully he's a good customer and just makes light of it.

I have a customer who said every time you clean Windows it rains ,my reply was have you ever thought about moving because i do areas where it doesn't rain after cleaning 😇

[Richard iSparkle]

we clean all weather types, but we're WFP.

we just train our customers to expect us

i have staff on the cleans though so i need them working consistently to pay their wages.

i would think if i were a one man band, i would reschedule on bad weather days.

i would think there is more of a slip risk too if you are working off ladders in the wet?

What he said^^^^
When I used to employ as soon as I had more than 4 days work for everyone it was a case of get another body in.....nowadays when I get past the 4 working days stage it’s time to sell some work.

Light rain of it?
But you are right. It's like people saying to the postman "it's better than walking the streets, isn't it?"

I’ve worked through it today, Midlands. Nobody batted an eyelid
It beats me why customers don’t know it’s cold in the winter and wet in the summer, it is most years

I had another record day today.

[swanson]

Worked through today.
But I was very depressed doing it.

[Dave Willis]

It’s just mind over matter.



I don’t mind, customers don’t matter.

I worked in the rain today.  Hardest thing by far in my opinion to do when it's raining is leaded windows with the traditional method.  Of course it just so happened that I had these very type of windows to clean today on a few different houses.  Luckily the customers I had scheduled today don't really mind what weather i do it in so I was able to get everything done that I had pencilled in. 

[Shrek]

My customers don’t mind , I don’t mind working in passing showers but when it’s peeing down non stop , then i find it depressing!

[Stoots]

It was bad this morning, luckily i had an excuse as r lass had a job interview so i had to look after the kids...which suited me fine i didnt have to engage in a mental battle with myself about going out to clean in that. Spent 6 hours doing my books ready for my accountant, productive day really.

Generally when it comes to rain, if i want or need to clean in it i will and if im up to date and want to give it a miss i will. I dont let the customers dictate, most of them will be used to me cleaning in some daft weather by now.

I agree, still doesnt seem long enough though...the balance is still 4:3 in favour of work. Id like to change that to 3 days a week, maybe working an hour longer and upping prices and it could be doable.
