Went collecting tonight and I'm waiting for the cheque to be written out so I have a look at the windows. One looks a bit spotty then the custy comes to the door "see that mark - is it on the outside?" it was so I microfibred it off. "your kit didn't get that off when you cleaned"
Got me wondering if I missed that window completely :-\
-
Yeah,.. phone rings/hose snags etc, get distracted,.... happens to us all!
-
i have finished a job and gone back cos i missed one ,also had a lad do some work and when collecting that night looked at window and wondered wether he cleaned it,i dont use him anymore
-
Yup. There's been times when I would've sworn blind that I'd cleaned all the windows on a customers house but when I check them all it's obvious I've somehow missed one. It happens especially when you zone out and are thinking of something other than what you're doing.

Done all that mate, and arrived at the next job to find I hadn't tied the ladders onto the rack, they were still there though.
I got off a balcony the other day, tied the ladders on, went to do the bottoms, and where was my small brush? You guessed it, on the balcony. Grrr!
-
We have all missed windows. Don't think you haven't.

Misse one on friday, customer come out and went mad at me when I was packing up.
-
i have missed the odd one, but i had a lad start with me a few weeks a go, u know the type, brains but no common sence only had him in as he was tall, any way had him with me for two days, he snapped two blades, lost my small reach pole, left bucket at a house and could not remember if he had just done a window or not, the final straw was when he put the scrapper in his pocket so he didnt lose it and cut his finger open on it as he forgot it was there
and this lad is waiting to go in the police lol

I can remember back in the day of trad cleaning. I soaped up this large pane on the bay. Customer oppoisite come to pay. Starts chatting. Anyways goes back to finishing off the house and completely forget about the soaped up window.
