Did they say how they were going to reach the top windows, or is it a bungalow?

I have a custy who uses one of these to clean there conny! looks crap with runs and streaks but she seems happy to keep paying me to do the house!!
Its just a fad and custys will get sick of doing it themselves soon enough

I've had a couple where the husband has retired and said 'I'll do them myself from now on'
It never happens.
Same thing with this gadget I reckon as with all the others bread makers, mini steam cleaners etc.

My wifes Grandma used to love that sort of stuff, buy it, once it twice  and then give it away to someone 6 months later. I've still got the home dry-cleaning kit she bought somewhere in a drawer.

Apparently they do a good job, but the battery dies pretty quick.

I saw them in B+Q earlier in the week, they were 50quid I think.

I walked past them and bought a roll of PTFE tape for 60p instead.

I just thought I'd share that.

I had a new customer say this to me on friday, was  a watcher while we cleaned over the road then became a customer (my wit and charm  ;D),

I said to him great toy to which he look bemused.

All I asked was do you like doing it, to which he replied no. Will you use it now we are cleaning your windows, to which he replied no.
my reply was, great toy I guess to which he laughed.

I explained a few things to him and the main one is, it does not clean them for him.

at the end of the day, people don't want to do it, that is why we are paid, however much things like this come out people don't want to clean their own windows, I hate cleaning my own so I get someone to do it for me and i'm a window cleaner.
Simple really  ;)

p.s they are rather a fun toy to play with though  ;D
