I'm sure we all have our fair share of strange people we clean for, but can anyone beat one of the ladies I do. She insists that I phone her a day or so before I go so that she can 'clean her windows before I get there'. Believe it or not it's because she says she is embarrassed to have them dirty when I go.
How strange is that then.

I have a customer whose next door neighbour is very strange, I think she really shouldn't be living on here own, anyway when I go round she always comes out to do her identical house and races me, she has a pole with a mop on it and just runs round and wets all the windows then shouts to me she is finished and dissapears again!! Words fail me every month!!

One of my customers has another window cleaner as well. That could prove awkward now that I've switched to WFP because he uses fairy liquid and I will be having to fight against his cleaning when I use the pure water syatem.

She says it's because windw cleaners can be unreliable so she wants to ensure that she has one.
Bizarre eh?

Are there any normal customers out there ? That should be the question. When you do a job that deals with the general public you realise that lots of people are a bit odd.
I had one lady that wouldn't come out and used to poke the money out through the letter box.
Oh yes and there were a middle aged couple on Park Lane Harrow who were nudists and went around all day with no clothes on. They never went out the front like it but would walk around the house and garden.
You soon got used to it but it was a bit of a suprise at first.

The majority of my customers are Welsh!!!
Nuff said!

BAH! BAH! Dai

We have one customer who cleans his windows the day before we clean them.
We have another who prays while we do them.
And another real odd bod who sits in his car while we clean his windows. I never ask why. When we're done, I tap on the window of his car, he winds it down half an inch and pushes the money through the gap. He always seems happy enough and we've been doing his windows monthly for 3 years now.
Odd?
