Title: A question for all window cleaners.
Post by: Stooby on October 02, 2003, 11:12:04 pm: How often do you clean your own windows? ???

I do mine about three times a year (to my wifes disgust). It takes about 4 hrs approx (about 1/2 hr to do a good job on a similar sized house) because I wash all the frames etc.

I therefore contest she gets good value. ::)

Post by: mark6765 on November 13, 2005, 07:35:20 am: i used to clean mine once every 3 months.
now i have my wfp i do them regular every 4 weeks.
its an easier job with wfp, and it gives me confidence
that wfp is a good system. its nice to see my windows
and frames spot free and gleaming.

Just get your Mrs to wear her sexiest undies, stockings and suspenders a must,
Leave the last upstairs window open. Dont forget to take your boots off. Dai

Post by: richie_tracey on November 14, 2005, 03:17:18 pm: I have to admit that it is only because i have recently moved into a house (from a flat) that i have cleaned my windows every week so far. The beauty of it is i have also picked up 9 new well paying customers from it!!

Post by: callum macleod on November 14, 2005, 07:57:07 pm: hi usually when ever i get round to it,usually a bank holiday only time i've done them more often was when i first started wfp and was practising not done them since about 5mths ago ;D ;D Good to see i'm not the only one

Post by: KJG on November 16, 2005, 12:45:57 am: I had to sack myself for bumping and turning up when I felt like it! :-[
Title: Re: A question for all window cleaners.
Post by: rosskesava on November 16, 2005, 01:00:18 am: I do mine (even though we have a seriously under priced window cleaner) when the lady tells me to.

It's not worth the arguement.

I did at one point stand my ground that every month the windows get cleaned.

Now though after raving on at her about wfp and quick it is - I built a rod for my own back.

Cheers
