Guys, if a customer messes you about and breaks your terms and conditions; drop them.

I'm no window cleaning millionaire, but I promise you that is really good advice.

1, I would have said I have already started so it will be front only.

if they saw me before I started and said that I would say:

you didnt call to let us know but thats ok but you will be charged the 2 monthly rate next clean which is 50% more.
if they argue I would not, I just say you are booked for 4 weekly clean, we work in all weather as this does not make a differece to us as we wet all windows anyway and if I am honest the rain helps me clean because I can use less water.

can you come on the next sunny day is a customer you dont want to keep or you need to lay down your t &c's if she does not like them find a new customer to replace her.

I once had a customer that said "please don't do them if it's going to rain", and I never did them again. Dai
