Title: Does anybody clean there own windows
Post by: jeff evans on February 07, 2006, 06:34:06 pm: How many of you out there clean your own windows.?
I know i dont, i pay a window cleaner to clean mine because
i know if i didint they would not get done. ;)

And for what he charges me i couldent be bothered to get the ladders off, Also i hate it when i have to clean the insides
moving orniments & furnture.

Cheers Jeff.

Post by: Spot On cleaning on February 07, 2006, 08:42:43 pm: I can't be be bothered to clean mine. As a carpet cleaner, should i be taking part in this forum? I'm just interested. I stopped a couple of window cleaners in our street, but they said they had enough customers on their round, then low and behold we had a chap knock on our door saying that he was starting up a round.

More than happy to help out somebody local, and he reminded me of my old foreman, we saw him a couple of times, often infrequently or when he was skint, then no more.

I suppose i will have to clean then myself, wont i?

Post by: rosskesava on February 08, 2006, 12:00:42 am: Clean my own windows....

I have a window cleaner who charges a ridiculously low price.

I keep offering him more but he won't take it.

Why?

He does an almost perfect job - better than I can do.

Post by: JM123 on February 08, 2006, 01:29:35 pm: hey Terry, are you really the fastest window-cleaner, I've seen you in the Guinness book but I reckon a half decent wfper will be far quicker. What you think??
