I've always charged standard price but thinking about changing. I've had my quote sheets altered but the box for the first clean is blank so I can put whatever in there depending on the job.

[S.A.J]

Always charge double! As we all know 1st cleans can take twice or even 3 times as long!

Also seems to stops the 1 clean wonder brigade but if they do cancel after the 1st clean it don’t feel as bad because we charged double.

That was pretty much my thinking.

We did have a clause that if someone cancelled after the first clean we charged them 3x but it was rarely enforced.

I ticked the wrong box like Djokovic's agent.

I almost always charge about 50% extra unless it's a minger where I charge depending how bad it is.

[james peters]

I charge 50% more on first cleans
they eat up time and water

[dazmond]

Depends on the job...if its a well priced stand alone over £40 then no not usually unless its really bad.I take the hit...

If its a lower priced 4 weekly job I can charge up to 100% more if its filthy,usually I add a bit more even if the windows are fairly clean....

[High-Tower]

30-50% depending. Tried charging double bit didn’t get many as there’s a lot of competition around here

[Ggh]

I charge enough for the rest of the year to accommodate the extra time required for first clean.

[EnglishDave]

Unless its really minging, no extra on price but these days I have found my pricing takes care of the extra work for the first clean.

[Smudger]

Usually 50% extra an 8 wky price which = approx double to a 4 wky clean price

However,

I do this for those that come to me, I rarely charge more if I canvass unless it is in a bad way
( don't ask me why, just don't )

I charge a bit more on first cleans between 25%-50% on top of the normal price

[Stoots]

I just charge normal price and take the gamble.

But i dont spend anywhere near as long as i used to on a first clean.

[robbo333]

Generally, I charge more for a first clean, especially if they are filthy, or I think the customer is a 'one off' merchant.

Last year I did a couple of cleans for 'little ole dears' and I didn't charge any extra (well it didn't seem right, poor ole girls).
Both of them had me, both one off merchants! 

[Mike Burd]

An extra 50% on every first clean. To be honest, if we didn’t, in the summer we’d take a big hit on daily takings. Some days literally every job might be a first clean.

[Arnold Palmer]

For the 24.5% of you that don't charge extra - we have experienced very little drop in uptake of our services over the last month, less than 10%

[Rob.Hall]

Did a first clean a couple of weeks ago.
Normal clean in and out would have been 5 1/2 hrs.
Took me 8 hrs....
Quoted for a days work and glad I did.
I lways charge more for first cleans regardless.

[DJW]

I don’t normally on £40 council houses.

£40.00 . You definitely need to raise your prices!
