Hi All,
         Who works in the rain do you because the job needs to be done. Or you don`t because you don`t like to get wet. Can anyone air thair views on this topic. I would like to know what you think.   Michael D

I dont like to but i do sometimes, i seem to lose maybe 1 customer for every 2 days of cleaning in the rain,

[matt]

very light drizzle = YES

anything more = NO (the customers dont like it, well mine dont)

[paul mather]

I have a rule that if it is raining hard enough for the rain  to hit the window then I put the kettle on & wait till it stops.

If it's just drizzle then I carry on.

I don't know if people remember Gary Elford his attitude was get out there you bunch of girls.

We clean in the rain as long as it isnt torrential - we have 600 customers that are on a monthly cycle so it is more that we have to clean them to finish the month without running over.

Justin Ruggles set up a rain guarantee for his customers and we have adopted it.

It basically says that if we clean your windows in the rain and you are not happy we will reclean them - never had a call back yet

[david68]

600 customers you would have to be cleaning them with the weather more than drizzle.

But cause i only have 45 at the moment the clear days are ok with me.

Gazza do u understand now

I went out on saturday morning and it was spitting, not raining.  4 customers asked me to come back another time when it wasnt raining.  I pointed out that it wasnt raining hard enough to make any difference but they didnt want to know.  I cleaned one house and told the lady that if she wasnt happy with the clean i would re clean them when dry but she said they looked great and I can clean her windows come rain or shine.  I think the older generation of customers( i might be wrong) seem to think that rain means no way but the younger ones seem to say clean them if you dont mind getting soaked and they put the kettle on.
I know some of you guys on here would say drop them if they tell you not to clean in the rain but my round is quite small and I have built it from scratch so I would be a fool to myself to throw work away.
Bloody weather..

[geefree]
