I do remember during the last so called drought   On  radio and tv  a government minister and some of the professors of  a London university somewhere  or other

 agreed with hose pipe bans and confiscating our vans and even banning buckets and squeegees  every drop counts they said
and endorsed massive fines and prison for repeat offenders for jet washers car washers and window cleaners  and so on
One even said with a straight face  we  now permanently live in a semi arid country  !!!
The next day it rained and rained for six weeks
Nothing new

We are not affected by a hose pipe ban but a drought order could affect our work but unlikely due the the health and safety executive s ruling on safe working . But think it’s very unlikely we will be in this position any time soon

I have a set spiel ready for the vanishingly small number of people who question me if I clean in drizzle or light rain.

"Whether it's good or bad weather - I view it as removing 8 weeks worth of dirt and muck every time I visit."

Seems to work.

I work mon to thurs and have friday off, ive only missed 1 day due to heavy rain with strong winds. That week i just worked the friday instead so ive completed all my normal work evey week. I have had a lot of skips, way more than usual but i was 2 weeks behind from christmas so it made no odds im still not caught up as i have a bit more work than i need.

I have worked in some daft weather but apart from some skips ive had zero complaints. I just get on with it no matter what in general, i have to work and i think most people understand so dont let the odd one put you off.

Its so much easier to work in rain, i barely need to rinse, windows closed and no one in the way. Give me rain anyday than red hot sweaty summers with hayfever and suncream in your eyes, thats when its hard work.

I've averaged 3 days a week which is my thing anyway. I still get some customers text on the day asking me not to come because its raining.
Just imagine if this was 20 or so years ago all this rain would have been snow which would probably have been here for weeks before thawing.
It will soon be spring/summer when we'll all be moaning that its too damn hot to work!

I remember when it rained virtually every day all through the 6 week school summer holidays a few years ago....it can be awful in the spring/summer too....

I work in very hot weather too. It got to 39c on the  hottest day ever recorded up here a few years ago. I did finish earlier than usual though that day!(1pm)😄👍

Hi all just wondering how your all getting on working in the recent constant rain ?
I’m in the West Sussex feels like it’s been raining for ever,one dry day this week,so been working in the rain to earn some money not ideal working conditions ,also not the best for paying customers but what do you do ? We’re all in the same boat no work no pay.
To be honest I’ve also found it dragging me down mentally,as in fed up getting soaked,fed up with customers comments ,knew you would come today as it’s raining etc also feeling anxious about customers thoughts about cleaning in the rain.

I just get on with it......

I can work in most bad weather for 5 hours per day! Just be prepared and have at least 2 waterproof jackets with you and swap them at lunchtime.

I also have audiobooks/podcasts downloaded  to my phone to listen to.

I have zero anxiety about cleaning customers windows in the rain as they are used to it as I've been doing it since I swapped to wfp 16 years ago.

I would much rather clean windows in bad weather than get behind schedule so I still get days off i choose to take off.🙂👍
