Title: WFP in heavy rain
Post by: g.brookes on July 31, 2013, 03:08:55 pm
Afternoon chaps. Currently sat watching it P down. I clean in light rain but I never clean in full on rain hitting the windows, get soaked in it rain.
Does heavy rain affect the results?
I've got a office block first clean and just wondering if it will be ok to do this in heavy rain?

It does, but not that much.
Do it, warn them it may spot a little, offer them a 24 hour (or when it stops raining) guarantee and go back and see them even if they don't call asap. Shows you care.

My theory on this is if the rain is coming straight
Down its fine but if its bouncing of the windows
It's time to go home  or sit in the van till it goes off


I'm currently sat in the van  :-\

Only 2 jobs to do and up to date for July

I ain't going home till there done 1 hr 15 already in van  :'(

It WILL stop raining soon....

Ok thanks chaps. Considering its a new client and I'm keen to impress them I may leave it till tomorrow. Today is already the second day due to how filthy they are and I don't want to have to make 3 trips that's for sure

About what I would do.....but simply say.....
"There you go all clean for you.......any problems do call me as I offer a no quibble guarantee........you pay good money for a good job"
Be honest but don't put ideas in their head and be positive  ;)
