-
i do wfp and trad.but it must be is miss's with balls cus he ay got any
-
Wezzy, why not call round tomorrow when its daylight and speak to your customer. You can just show them the windows are clean; the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
But personally I'd just forget about them. They - as has already been mentioned - have probably just used you as a Christmas clean.
-
i did say to her on the phone that if she not happy with the windows id go round and clean them again but still said no thanks.as i say to all off my custys if there not happy il do them again for them and in 4 mnths off working on me own not had 1 yet.
-
Wezzy - I haven't gone back and checked your posts but I get the impression that some of your customers treat you quite badly. This pair of charlatans owe you for your work.

im trying had another 1 today first thing second clean again says can u fit anther 1 in 2day has my son wants his doing i say no probs so know i do the hole family and he pays for the three off them with a couple off quid on top.y cant they all be happy like me ;D
-
i now tell new customers its £xx per month with a minimum of 3 cleans but must admit i hate it when i go to a customers and find the old man in they look at you on £20 - £30 ph and think i can do that
-
yeh, i hate that.
how many houses can you clean in a day?
how many customers have you got?
what's the average price job?
nosey bar5tards >:(
anyone got any answers; not too rude to these type inquisitions
£20 an hour stabs.
i usually say "what you got to realise is alot of time is lost to bad weather; so when i'm off my previous days wages has been halved"
but do feel like saying i live in a tiny starter home and i wish i was a pound behind you :D
It's always the one's in the big fancy houses with the comments :D

Why offer to do them trad again. Stick to your commitment of using wfp method, don't let customer dictate your working method as you are your own boss. ;)
-
As she doesn't want you anymore and wont pay you for what you done it is only right that you give them back what you took off them....dirt.
When passing just chuck a dirty bucket of water over and tell them your conscience wouldn't allow you to keep something that they haven't paid you for..... ;)

This is the letter we give to all new customers, it generally works and prevents a lot of questions and seems to pacify them:
LIONHEART WINDOW CLEANING
Dear Valued Customer,
Due to recently introduced Health & Safety legislation (European Work at Height Regulations 2005) regarding the use of ladders for cleaning and access, we are now starting to use a PURE WATER POLE CLEANING SYSTEM to clean some, if not all of your windows.
How does it work?
The Pure Water System incorporates a 5 stage water purification process that removes all impurities from the water including particulates, chlorines and carbons, this Pure Water is then stored in a large tanked fitted to the vehicle. When required, the water is pumped from the tank through pipe-work to a jetted brush head on the end of a pole. The windows, frames and sills are then jetted, washed and brushed to remove all dirt. The final stage of the process is where the brush is lifted away from the window, the window is spray rinsed with Pure Water and left to dry naturally.
The Advantages
• Safety, no ladders to fall off!
• Privacy
• Environmentally friendly, no detergents are required
• Frames can be cleaned along with the glass
• Previously inaccessible windows can now be cleaned safely
• We can now also clean conservatory roofs, fascias, etc
• Windows can be cleaned in almost all weather conditions
• Because there is no detergent residue, windows stay cleaner longer
The changes you will notice
• The windows will be left wet, but they will dry streak and smear free
• For the first one or two times you may see small white spots on your windows, this is detergent residue from previous cleans
I appreciate that this is a big change, but we have been using this system on all our commercial cleaning and some domestic cleaning for several years now and the feedback and results have been excellent.
We guarantee a quality service every time. If you have any concerns please feel free to call me on 01665 713448 or catch us whilst we are cleaning.

give them your pole and let them have a go, when they make a mess just smile ;D they will pay you next time with no hassle at all ;)
-
give them your pole and let them have a go, when they make a mess just smile.
Then jump in your van and get away quick before the police arrive.

When you exact revenge, please make sure they are free range. Battery farming is unethical IMO :)
