You will get a call back in a few months, be sure to put the price up

He'll probably force water through or at least damage all of the window seals too.
That'll learn the clever clogs. ;)

I had the same last week, a note with a cheque saying his mrs had bought a long pole and squegee and would now do it, i cant wait to see her using it, she will get bored and want me back but i struggle to give second chances, the husband even stated he wanted me to continue :-X(under the dumb sprang to mind)!

and when they come back and say can you do them again
smugley say "did the pressure washer not work? funny that"

i normally say you have been replaced, have a nice day ;D

If it leaves the windows spotted it could be difficult to remove = at least double the cost when you take em back on for the first clean.
It may also involve getting on a ladder and some serious elbow grease as I've found that pure water doesn't remove lime scale which is what those white spots will more than likely be. At least they would be in my area.

:o :o :o mark she will be back ;D ;D ;D

i had one , nice couple too send me a note saying they have bought a ladder so wont be needing me any longer thanks for my help. saddened mebecause i dont like thinking of silly people who have no exsperance falling off ladders. he's gonna become a satistic!!
-
I did a first clean a few weeks ago on a house where someone had tried to use a pressure washer. I had to do every window with Cillit Bang to get the white spots of limescale off the glass.

in all honesty would you really take a customer back on that can dump you in this way , i wouldnt .
-
I have a waiting list and I make sure the customers know it. Its the most wonderful thing that has happened to me as a window cleaner.
The customers see me in a new light, no longer "Oh its just Vince the window cleaner."
They don't mess me about because they know that I can pick and choose and whats more "I ain't Bovvered !"
Sacking you by text is just a lack of respect. It probably not the whole story though. Some household bills have gone up by 25% and everybody is feeling the pinch
-
The text bit is bad, but makes me think they couldn't face "saying" it. At least they didn't wait till you turned up next time and turned you away.
Household bills are a good point and some people will not want to admit to being short of money etc etc, and afterall window cleaning is on the "luxury" service list if you are a customer and the "necessary" service list if you are a window cleaner ;) ;D

yes i was concerned bout the text.if theyd told me 2 my face id have said "fair enough".just seemed bit odd.u loose 1 u pick another up.its no hardship.i had one customer a while back who sent her 7yr old daughter out 2 tell me that her mummy doesnt want her windows cleaning anymore.i wasnt bothered bout the windows just the fact they couldnt tell me 2 my face.
