Not so much a free job, but from time to time will do the inside of kitchen window for nothing.
Think future. 30 seconds makes you a star in their eyes.

My own house. ;D
-
what, you do your own house :o ;D

vision on
i get that too but i always ask for a cuppa as well ;D
-
I do a nursery that's one window.
I know a few of the girls there ;), so they get it free.

Not free but I drive 22km's to a job....have to pay 2 euro to park, jobs takes 45 minutes by the time I have a coffee and then 22km's home...all for 10 euro's....oh the joys of my first weeks quoting jobs...this is for an elderly couple, he was a Dutch Marine and helped British troops during the war and ended up in a UK military hospital.....and then married a English girl who was in the Army.
Conversations are funny...both as deaf as door posts... ;D
Nice to remember those who did so much... :)

My feeling is do nothing for free unless it is realy worthy,I do me next door neighbour for free pls her daughter for sussing out the crack about the old cleaner when I started up and it just doesnt work out well,I regret it now ad wish I hadnt done it.

I sort of do bits of jobs free sometimes but it's not really free in another sense.
What I mean is that because I have a minimum charge of ten quid, some jobs are clearly not worth that. Therefore I might do internal patio door or similar sometimes if they are in and they think of asking so they get their tenners worth. I don't tell them why I do it though or they might start thinking of it as a right :)

Yes, i do my mates house for free and in return he uses his car when we go training so it saves on my petrol and we both benefit.

Over the last 3yrs Ive got to know a gardener at one of my jobs, I hadn't seen him for a while. And found out he had a big cancer op 4wks earler, and he was sat at home worring about jobs he should have done like clean conservatory roof.
I decided to clean them for him for free, I went on the hotest day this year spent five hours as none of the windows and conservatory had been done for years.
Never made a penny that day! But its nice if you can help someone out.

Another job I do free of charge is my neighbour downstairs. Since I've been using WFP I clean my own windows more often. As I live in a flat, my downstairs neighbour's windows get soaked too so I just clean them as well. It doesn't do anyone out of a job as she never bothered doing them anyway.

We do our local church and rectory very cheap but it is only 3 monthly.
It is linked to our little girls school so we give a little back.

am just about to start cleaning my local church.
They only want it once or twice a year so i will not be charging for it.
Maybe i can slip into heaven through the back door. :)

I do my three daughters windows free, and I sometimes do the inside of my shops doors depending on my mood.
I do a home for mentally disabled children, I don't do it free but they have never had a price increase in nine years and they never will.

How often does everyone clean their own houses cause i prob clean mine 3/4 monthly and i hate those sort of customers. Clean my sisters windows for freemans only 2 freebies thats enough!!!!!!! oh and the odd inside as you guys have said already!!

I do my bet mates house for free when his missus starts moaning at him.
I also do a house free every month of the year - that keeps me in with the bloke who makes the decisions for window cleaning at the local Grammar School which is worth it every summer.
