I don't clean domestics in the rain although i will if its spitting on and off.

I did try cleaning in the rain on domestics but customers didn't like it and a couple cancelled due to me doing them in the rain.

Commercial we clean whatever the weather and don't get any problems from them.

What you need to do is get some wet weather work gutter cleaning is a good one for this.

I have cleaned in light drizzle which was coming down vertically cos of no wind but if its hitting the glass I dont bother because I think the customers will complain.

Drizzle Yes.

Showers Yes.

Heavy Rain NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Its my choice, I cant see the point cleaning windows when its lashing down, You get misreable, The all point in chargeing customers a good price was to make up for it when it rains and you dont work.

whenever we get leads/sales for gutter fascia cleaning we say we will be round the next time it rains there is no way we would do it in bright sunshine ....so save them up cos it makes a big difference when you get a week of naff weather ;)

I have put in our terms and conditions that we clean in the rain....given that we live in rainy area's, if we had to stop for rain...I do not think that much work would get done.

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.

Same here, i have bills that need paying, unfortunatley they dont get paid sitting at home.

we put it to all our customers that we will clean in the rain - not happy?  we'll reclean for free.  We still get people coming out and telling us not to bother - 'its going to rain'!!  Horror!! 

Squeeky - you're not big enough to call anyone else a nob.
