Its best with these ones to just accept not all people are going to see how it works. As I have said many times in the past, its a game of percentages.

Its a bit more dangerous at this time of year because more people are at home this week because the kids are off.

I had one like this a couple of years back, I had been cleaning her for about a year but she had always been out. First time I cleaned them when she was at home she got the hump.

Just turn their focus onto the end result.

I always say have a look at your windows in about an hour and if you're not 100% happy please let me know.

No one ever calls.  :)

I've had a few custies question the fact that they're still wet but once I've explained ( again) about the pure water they've accepted it.
