Canvasser been busy so had some 1st cleans to get thru .. Forgotten just how long they take and had some real mingers as well.
Hopefully a load more to do but rekon max is 8 a day.

I used to hate first cleans, but now I really enjoy them. . . . transforming the dirty windows and frames into a sparkling clean of loveliness ;D
-
I've had 2 first cleans this week both with 17 windows and one with a conservatory niether had been done for over a year totally under estimated how long they would take and just quoted another with 34 windows that hasnt been done for 3yrs !!!:-\
-
one I did this morning hadnt been done for 12 years !!!!
frames came up like new .. almost .. took an hour for 10 windows .. seems a proper customer .. second clean time will tell ;D

took the words right out of my mouth, doing a shed load of them at the moment, nice to get great feedback for new customers though.

some off the ones ive been doing would bring positive customer comments if I chucked a bucket of water over them and used a yard brush on em ... theyve been that bad :(

made a massive mistake today- quoted a high street double fronted shop 8 quid in and out. for some stupid reason i failed to include the fact they've not been cleaned for 5 years in my quote. one hour into the job ive only done half. gonna ring up the owner today as £4 p/h is the biggest balls up ive managed in my 2 years of running this business

comes with the job ... unfortunately ... you can try and weed em out but I think we all got caught eventually ... sometimes I do charge double for the 1st clean if its really bad.

i did one the other week.£45 clean price.thought id take the hit first clean.IT TOOK ME THREE HOURS!!loads of silicone that needed scraping off under the dirt!!so only £15 an hour.hard work too.
the job will only take me an hour now on maintenance cleans so £45 will be a good price for the job.
i usually charge more for first cleans.sometimes double but i made a mistake with this one!
there is a company near me who have been offering to clean windows FOR FREE FIRST CLEAN!!they plastered flyers all over telegraph poles near where i work!! ??? ??? ???madness if you ask me!! ;D ;D

oftentimes the windows is the first sign of a turnaround in personality . first its you,then a garden makeover and then fresh koi in that pond
