Post by: Clear Vision on January 29, 2007, 08:31:57 pm: Just wonderd how man of you window cleaners have/pay a window cleaner to clean your house windows?

I don't but have often thought about getting one for a one off and spy on him from inside ;D

I pay him by monthly Standing Order (like most of my domestic customers do for me).

The last thing I want to do when I get home from work is to clean my own windows.

He has 1 cloth all day...no squeege...and he is not good at all :o
He charges me £3.50 but I pay him £5 every 2 weeks. Every now and again, I`ll get the WFP out if I am cleaning my car and give them a once over.

There are another couple who are at the glass at 8am and I have seen the boss cycle past mine with a double extension over his shoulder and a bucket on the handlebars. His mate carries a stepladder and a scrim. He just rubs the scrim over and over the glass...and that is it ???

Another fella around here has a big round and has a wooden cart on 2 wheels with a small ladder and his bucket and he must do 60 hours a week and must be pushing 60 years of age easily.

If I had my camera with me, I could do a book!!
