And how did your customers react to it when you first started doing it, and did you lose many customers when you started?
Cheers

Really? Thought you were pooing yourself up a ladder?
-
Yes had a top day today in the rain.
-
In very light rain I might but not today combined with the strong winds
-
Rain lashing against the windows is a no go on domestic , Light to medium rain without any wind and I will be out in it all day never lost a custy yet .
Anyone that does raise the issue of working in rain I usually point out that the windows are only wet because I am cleaning them WFP and rain is not touching windows .
-
Harder for those trad only, but WFP makes it a no-brainer.
Heavy wind and mega cold the only real job stoppers, oh and lightning ;D
-
Here we go again ;D

Thanks for replies even yours Gary ;D

i didnt start work until 1130am this morning due to the heavy rain and strong wind! ;D ;D
i worked til 6pm though and all scheduled work completed! ;)
in fact the sun came out this afternoon and the day ended nice and dry.
i do work in the rain.even when its lashing on the windows sometimes.i just dont like getting behind schedule!it does happen but not very often these days.
ive lost a few customers here and there due to cleaning in the rain but im not bothered.i get the odd "not today" as well but nothing to get worried about.i just move onto my next job.
its better than sitting indoors not earning. ;)
-
One of my customers actually thanked me for cleaning them in the rain today. She was just happy to have a regular cleaner.
I didn't start till around 12ish either today though. Too windy, but it died off by midday.
-
i also pick up work when cleaning in the rain sometimes!crazy i know but i do! :)

Yeah, had that a few times. I'd rather not work in rain though. Hate getting wet at work. If it's not hitting the windows, and I need to get finished on domestics, then we crack on.
-
Yes. Just explain that rain only effects dirty windows
-
awful day weather wise today.cold,damp and prolonged heavy rain for hours this afternoon!!
i worked 9am-430pm.not one customer batted an eyelid at me cleaning in the rain! ;D
....and yes dave it was a good earning day with over half my earnings paid straight after the clean! :)
-
I only work in Lightning because I am trying to be a "BRIGHT SPARK"
-
I worked from 06:00 to 12:00. Great days earnings despite the rain. You decide if it's too bad to work and don't worry what anyone else is doing.
-
It's all about conditioning your custys when they are aware that despite it raining the windows will dry with the usual top quality results .
Whether your cleaning them in the rain or it rains 2hrs after you have cleaned them the end result is the same Clean Windows .
-
we re gonna have to get used to working in the rain this week lads!forecast lots of it for the rest of the week here in manchester! >:( ;D
-
WFP is crap in the dry so you'd just as well work in the rain - can't be any worse.
-
Its strange that when it is wet a lot of the guys who claim to clean in the rain spend a lot of time
on here.
-
Every job I book I include in the spiel:
We clean in all conditions, including pouring rain - BUT - we give you this guarantee: wait till it dries after the rain stops and if it's less than perfect give us a call and we'll come back and do it again.
I also include words to that effect on the printed quotation I give to every enquiry.
Whether any of the lads actually ever stand out in the rain cleaning windows and getting soaking wet is another question entirely ;D
-
I did sweet fa today but was totally pouring down so will make up saturday.
-
i worked 9am-230pm today.no rain.bone dry!its just started hammering it down now ive filled up for tomorrow! ;D ;D
im meeting up for a jam with some old bandmates tonight so finished early!
nice chilled couple of hours before 3 hours of drumming!!CANT WAIT!! :D :D
happy days! :)
-
Cleaned in heavy showers all day today don't like it but it made
sense as it waters down my tap water so no squeegeeing ;D
All my water butts are overflowing happy days :)
-
i hate working in the rain so had a day off
-
I havn't worked all week. I sent a standard text to my customers.....
Sorry i never made it today to squirt water all over your house and windows. Its been raining heavy and i didn't want to get wet.
God only knows how i'm going to make up these last few days. MY worst fear is they are gone and i'll never get them back.
