Title: Window cleaning
Post by: jr windows on May 28, 2009, 09:23:59 pm
Funny isn't it, I've lived in this house 6 years and been a window cleaner for 5. I've cleaned my front windows twice and never cleaned the back or conservatory. You don't want to do it at home when u have done it all day.

So true !

My wife keeps saying i need to clean the windows more often. I think we need a window cleaner to be honest.

I have two customers who are window cleaners too.

I cant have one yet though :(

Mine are cleaned inside & outside . Won't clean anyone else in the street where I live because I leave work at the end of my street and want to keep work separated from home.

I live on an estate and clean the whole place monthly. Our house just gets done when everyone else's does.

I never did any neighbours, they expect "mates rates" and I'm too tight to give them even 5%.

Don't clean mine either, Mrs Cozy does that ::)

I haven't done mine in months, and I do my neighbours too, and haven't done them for months either!

About 6 months ago she bought me a bottle of wine to thank me for doing them, knowing that I hadn't. So of course I did them. Wilely old bird she is.


I will do them soon but as they say
'The cobblers wife is always poorest shod'

 I have to admit i never used to do mine , then when a guy came round and offered to do them for £6 we took him on . He does a good job too(trad) .  £6 for a 4 bed detached , less than half what i would charge but i never told him that. ;)
