Do you clean your own windows, I do mine and about 6 others near to me . I am thinking of getting another window cleaner(Jase ) to do mine and the others that I do in my street. They are becoming a pest , because I live near them they will call around and tell me that a bird has just made a mess on there windows and can I go and wash it off. I think they are more trouble than they are worth .

I do most of my street, lickily they dont bother me, but I rarely clean my own ;D

I lived on an estate that I still clean so would do my windows every month. Never had a problem with the customers though, it was good as most would pop the money through the door.
If a customer asked me to come back to do a window because a bird had done it business on it I would charge them well. Soon they would stop asking as they realized that they would not get freebies.
For 3 and a half years I've lived on a different estate, in that time I cleaned the windows about 5 times, however since going wfp I've done them nearly every week.

John, you might think again when you see what i charge!!!!!!!! :D
-
I clean my own windows about twice a month and do not clean any windows in the estate I live in as where I live is not where I want to work...I just like to keep a divide between the two.
Cheers

Good advice Pylo, never sxxt on your own doorstep.
-
Cleaned my windows today and will never clean the neighbours. I don't take my work home with me.
-
I get the lads to clean mine when I start getting grief off the missus!!
Either that or if I am trialing someone out I get them to clean my windows and frames to show them how to do it and to see how good they are, I can then take them inside and show them the results from the customers perspective.
-
nope! hoping to get the wife trained to go up ladders then she can do them ;D
-
I traind my Boss to use wfp, so if she needs them cleaned she can do them her self, ;D 'WELL' she makes me put the dishes in the dish washer ;D ;D
-
I clean mine wfp as often as i can,
I then go inside an inspect really closely to see what Im doing right or wrong......
you know wot they say "Practice makes ......." :P
-

i used to live in a road in town and i did a load in the street was so easy just to walk out the door, never found them to be a problem though
i have moved now and i still do the street and more, and now where i live, (is in the middle of no where granted with no neighbours close) but picked up loads down here
i like working near my home, but thats me, all got our own prefences
-
i do a fair few in my cul-de-sac, they are ok, when its time to do them again, they allways come up and ask, then i fit them in
i try to do mine a few times a year to keep the mrs happy ;)
-
Ive got my wife a backpack and pole she can do them herself ;) ;D I dont do any work round where i live as there is 2 other window cleaners
