Why do people put these across their windows then expect us to clean the window?
Bah humbug >:(

I had a customer some years ago who sprayed the outside windows with the fake snow. After christmas she expected me to clean it of without any extra cost.
Yeah right, I walked away.

Quite useful on a commercial set of offices I do inside and out - so where there are decorations and cards I just faff around with a scrim, saving loads of time.

;D ;D ;D
That made me laugh.
Does that mean that you just make-out, pretend, and generally ponce about when it comes to this kind of situation and then wack the bill in?
'There ya go, all done...........' ;D

What I mean is that on the insides, instead of blading the glass I'll spot clean any finger marks, but won't remove all the cards and certainly not any hanging decorations. (As this is done every month there isn't generally a huge build up of muck in the winter as the windows aren't opened and so few marks/spiders poo etc)
I still do high traffic areas like entrance ways with soap and blade.

Compared to a few years ago Christmas decorations on the outside have really taken off. The thing we have to be careful of is dodgy wiring. Some of these set ups are lethal. Cheap extension leads run outside etc.

Your avvin a laugh,that fake snow comes straight off like it`s whipped cream.

I walked into one of those reindeer a couple of years back. It was set up electronically to move its head from side to side. Anyway, clumsy clod here walked straight into it, knocked it over, and its head fell off :) . Not being much of a technician, it took me a little while to manage to put the head back on and stand it up as if it had been there all along.

theres allot of dangling lights at the top of windows all the way accross, with wires laid accross the grass and fresh sosage sized poos everywhere around the grass. Allot to avoid
-
watch out for people who hang interior lights under storm porches etc did some yesterday on when i cleaned them upstairs ok but ones under porch went pop when they got wet and all lights went out (why leave them on during day anyway) called back to collect money tonight lights on and working nothing said but worried me for a while :o

Uh uh.
Depends how long it's been on, and if the sun's baked it on.
I remember removing it from a pub years ago, and 3 windows took about 20 minutes.

i had a pub that had them little georgian style windows on, they sprayed snow on every single pane of glass :(
after the new year i arrived and i laughed at it, i then told them it would be 150 quid to clean it all off ( normal clean was 40 quid )
they said we would be in touch, i didnt hold my breath
