Usually due to being weeks late!

I tell the cust that the frames might not be perfect after first clean and that they will come good after a few cleans. just a once over each clean takes a bit more dirt off and over time it gets them done without adding hours to the clean.

Why does it need a depends option ? The poll states WFP you could always start a new poll for trad window cleaning

Post by: D.Salkeld_Ltd on March 13, 2009, 06:36:17 pm: Clean EVERYTHING....................

Glass, Frames, sills, and doors.
Even vents!
Explain to new customers that it takes a couple of cleans to get it good and offer a NO Quibble Guarentee (probably spelt wrong ???)

Only time you have to be carefull is with Sash windows..........
DO NOT brush and rinse under the sash you WILL disturb the dirt between the sashes. Its down to a flat angle on the brush so as to brush to the top edge of the glass and rinse flat on NOT upwards.
