Lost another one today because of a £2 price increase, £16 from £14. I kind of expected it because she complained when I last increased the price two years ago. Never mind, I clean 37 houses in that estate, I now make £57 more in the estate and clean 1 house less.

I've never worried about putting prices up.
Just got on with it.
I run a business for me not for the client.

You would worry if they all dumped you though, bet you would be back tracking fast  ;D

This ALWAYS happens every time prices are increased. It's still a win win....

Some customers would have you clean their windows forever at the same price and some just can't get their heads round that you clean windows as a business to make money and their cleaning service needs to have a fair,modest rise from time to time.

Customers often lose track of time and have a price their not going to go above in relation what they're willing to pay or even take you for granted and are that used to clean glass and frames they forget how dirty they can get after 6 months without a clean
price higher/work harder!

Hi Stoots,
Lost a few but most of my clients know there will be a price increase every year.
By doing it this way they dont get a massive shock of a huge increase.
Now semi retired so am very choosey about my work.

Pricing a new clean, I price on the high side so I don't need to put the price up for a while. I like a tenner minimum and slowly moving away from the £7 cleans. In the end if I can do the job quickly and do plenty on the street then I like to hold the price for as long as possible. In the end its all about our hourly rate.

Thanks for that.
