That is why prices need to be high to reflect weather conditions.  ;)

Window Cleaning just like most outside work is affected by bad weather!

I would think of inside work! like cleaning communal areas of blocks of flats, or pressure washing or soffits and cladding, or carpet cleaning, if you dont have a WFP then this can be done in light rain

hey,joe
i get the strong feeling practically all my customers dont like me cleaning in the rain
if theres rain and wind it leaves lines when squeegying
cant scrim dry it off and get smear-free result
ive wfp'd windows an 5 mins later after a wind&rain storm the glass has mineral spots where its fallen
some rain&wind dont make spots some do
anyway im just letting off a bit a steam-thats what everyone does on this forum
why not--ten times better than kicking your dog or worse
more power to your wfp adventure

I too have had a gutful of the weather and only managed twenty hours two weeks ago (i don't clean in the rain and hope i never need to). However, my earnings for that week were still more than any unskilled work in my area for forty hours! Touble is we were spoilt by last years winter weather - should deterr a lot of newbies this year though.
