I clean windows however often the customer wants. The method doesn't matter.

Um, well to put it another way, When you cleaned the old way were your windows still 90% clean after five weeks? Not trying to start the old debate, just wondering what would have been considered a normal legnth of time between cleans?

Macc your windows must be almost spotless before you start - easy peasy! Don't your customers notice that they don't need doing?

Mine are all 4 weekly as well.  It makes it real easy wfp.  Some have noticed that they stay clean in between cleans, but the way I see it is, well who wants their windows to be dirty at all, if they wanted their windows to be dirty for a couple of weeks every now and then they wouldn't be paying for a window cleaner.

yes i'm 4 weeks aswell and the way i see it is they pay for a window cleaner to keep their windows clean, so to keep them clean i remove dirt every 4 weeks, if they want their windows to get dirty they have the 8 week option....but i charge more for that!!!

I wouldn't say spotless but they are still clean. My customers like the fact they are always clean, the ammount of work i pick up because of that is great.  ;D
