not collected for years either, this is unpaid labour, something every other worker would moan about.

Cheque or standing order K.I.S.S

Beggars belief that anyone will work for nothing (i.e. collecting)
K.I.S.S back

All I can say is I agree with Daz not only do you meet your custys which I feel is important for business in my books but I  know a guy who deals with alot of old folks and they dont have computers for bacs payments to be put thru they dont understand all this type of payments, I do mainly commercial but on the second wednesday of every month I do 9 big houses of which they know i come on that day and leave money out under matts dont ask me where it is as ya not nicking my dosh lol !!!

yep i collect twice a week most of my work is within 2 miles of home
normally takes me less than a hour unless i get chatting to a customer
like others have said its good tp touch base with customers

i have also picked up work when collecting neighbours see me
arrive and ask for quote or existing customer tells me neighbour
looking for cleaner or a family member or friend in local area
is looking for cleaner.
this from people if i s.a.e only i wouldnt see,no such thing as dead
work its all a potential opportunity

I have never collected in 10 years, I always telephone/text the customer the night before, this way they leave the money for me, also the added bonus is they leave side gates unlocked, this way I can clean the back and earn more.

I think that at the most I am only owed about £100 each month by some who forget, but they normally pay the next time, if though after 3 cleans they still haven't paid, then they are put on hold until a cheque is recieved in the post.
