Sounds horrendous. In 20+ years of window cleaning I've never experienced anything like that  :o

a little tip......when you start building up a new round....do your canvassing  in  nicer,more affluent areas...surely you have some nearby?even if it means a 30 min drive every day......

its well worth it (over a period of a few years)........its the single best thing ive ever done in window cleaning...its also much nicer to go to work in the morning working in the leafy suburbs/semi rural locations....

Have you considered?:
1) Driving a van that is not sign written?
and
2) Following one of them home and when he's on his own....filling him in?
