Its a common fact that most tradesmen wont do their own jobs or at least not on regular basis.
I clean my windows when it suits me.
-
yeah i do mine well i do 4 others 2 each side so it would be a bit sad if i didnt do my own at the same time
-
no, well yes, i have done them about 5 times in 8 years, they do get minging
-
I am lucky I have a round that covers the road were I live so do them when I do the rest, never get paid though.
Another window cleaner that must be ready for retiring never cleans his and they are the most dirtiest windows I have ever seen.
-
I live in the middle of a 5 house terrace and do my neighbours every 6 weeks so its no bother to do mine at the same time. Also, alot of my local customers pop the cheque through my door so I like to have my windows/frames/door and porch spotless all of the time.
-
yes once or twice a year, I would gladly pay the guy that does the rest of the street, but he thought I was taking the pee when I asked him ::)
-
did mine this morning as well as the ground floor neighbours(no charge obviously) as they were minging from all the strong wind blowing crap onto the windows!cleaned my van as well.
i usually do mine about every 8 weeks or so.ive rescheduled for monday.i better pull my finger out im a week behind now!! ::) ;D ;D

Yes of course every 8 weeks.
I do this the same day i clean my friend come fitter/mechanic who fixs my car/van but does it mates rates.
Then on to my mums...
best part of a mornings work for nothing but pure satisfaction. ;D ;D
-
i dont clean any windows at all in my area so i just get the lad who does our street to do them every 4 weeks.....the last thing i want to do is clean my own windows after a hard day 8)
-
Mine get done about every 2 months,
I used to have loads of jobs I did for free, family, friends, girlfriends ;) (too many of those)
As they were not done on the same day I never noticed until I sat and worked out times.
I was working almost the equivalent of 1 day a month for free. I soon put a stop to that ;D
-
naaa i pay a local window cleaner as i dont do my area as dnt like to work on doorstep. Only 3 pound for front bargain. I think he is 1 of dazmonds mates coz have had him years and never puts hes prices up ;D
-
Of course a window cleaner wit dirty windows not a great addvertisment
-
my dad was a window cleaner and never cleaned his own windows, my brother is a window cleaner and never cleans his own windows and neither would I clean mine if I could help it. I couldn't give two hoots if they are minging or not unfortunately my wife does not agree
-
used to do them regular as clockwork, but recently it always seems to rain afterwards and cant see the point, what with this bad weather and short days I may have a word with myself and see if I can skip a couple of months and do them in the spring, what do ya reckon ?

same here daz i was gonna do mine today but valeted car and that took all my time and had family up so went out for afternoon, prolly do mine and one or two neighbours tommorow!
But i usually clean my windows , frames, fascias, and insides once a month , i quite enjoy it to be honst as im not restricted too a time frame for earning so can just plod about and give them a good scrub
-

-
their not very good to be honest ;D

mums the word ;D ;D ;D

Always. The reason? Customers come and drop off their cheques sometimes; if mine don't look good, it might start them doubting my service.
Same thinking is why I wash the van every morning while it fills up.

I clean them.
Like a lot of things/topics i tend to give advice i often don't follow myself.It's not that i'm a hippocrite just a bit lazy.The back of my van is such a mess for instance
Vin Mate i looked at e myth and read the synopsis, summarized as do you have a job or a business, and this is something i still struggle with.The physical side half kills me, and i can't work at a steady pace because i'm not made that way.
Interested in your leaflet comments.My pro leaflets were a bit of a flop but i made a few mistakes, my earlier ones that i did on my own printer were IMO excellent.I used to get a 2% response.I was happy with that.
I'd be keen to learn the principle your leaflets worked on.

i only just started doing it for practise reasons else its in spring then end of summer lol ::)

I'll do it for twice as much ;)
;D
-
yeah i clean mine when it suits - lol
its just i dont any in my street and so to set up just for me seems a waste when i dont get paid for it - daft i know coz when i get van sign written next week really should keep windows up o spec.
-
yes but irregular inside and out and not always all of them!
-
I was terrible at my old house, but this new house ive been here a month and done them twice ;D
Mind you, if you saw my house, youd see why ;)
