Post by: Mr Sparkle on March 02, 2014, 10:52:52 am
What's the earliest time you turn up to clean domestics ?

At the moment I don't start my first house till 9 o'clock !
Was thinking of starting at 8 o'clock instead!
Do us any one else start this early on domestics

I aim to get to my 1st customers 8.30-8.45, but i do have a couple of customers who i start at 8. If working on a saturday, i would start at the same time, but on the odd occasion i work on a sunday, it would probably be an hour later.

I don't work weekends (or Thursdays)
But 7am brush on glass.
I've worked my round so that the earliest customers either ask for early or are out or don't mind.
7 is better than 8 in a lot of ways cause if you're doing domestics being there when mums are doing the school run is a pita. Stopping. Watching the kids don't trip on hose etc.

9am-10am start on any work commercial or domestic usually.

I'm up normally about 7am but like to chill out and have breakfast first.930am is a good time to start as if I set off at 9am I've usually missed the rush hour traffic! ;D

Home for 4pm usually.sometimes 5pm.

That's enough for me.

I didn't get into WC to be a busy fool.had enough of that working 60 hrs a week for £2-32 an hour back in the late 80s!  ;D

Domestic is anywhere between 8am and 9am.

i try and do as much in that hour as possible. Then from 9am i work at a steady pace. Only started doing this last month. Before this i would start as late as 10.30/11am but its a bad idea due to the weather.
