I almost always charge extra for first clean so not too bothered if it happens.

thats the way.

.  this reminds me ,a sign erector  came knocking at my door wantin to borrow my biggest ladder off my van cos his wouldnt reach a high flat. soft me  loaned him it and he never even offered me a drink  :o
  well id almost forgot about it when he turns up at my home last week while i was out,spoke to my missus ,wanting to know where i got my big ladder with spikes. (but i just know he wanted yet another loan )
  so i rang him up once i got home,told him an old guy has a great ladder shop on the ring road out at Norwich ,sells very cheap too

i Really hope he makes the 100 mile roundtrip out to the fictitious shop !

 ;D

Hi there, sure this happens to every window cleaner once in a while, new customer dirty windows but not terrible , clean them and explain I do them every six weeks is that ok with you, they say fine, second clean done all good, then drive past today forsale board up, oldish couple that seem honest but why do they think it's alright to mug off window cleaners,they know what there doing, should i carry on doing them until sold but very quickly or would you just drop them, oh and a dird has done a big crap on the top window, justice, ha.
I see that happened today with some of the canvassed work I got, some people know what they are doing some dont even think about it, more than likely you wil get at least a few cleans from it, why drop it now you have done the hard work, carry on and they may recommend you to new people and take you where ever they go, could be a plus point  ;)

Go for it mate, have to say though im really going of leaflets, put a few hundred out last week, not many i know but not even one call, i used to like the leafleting because customers were good one's when you got them, 3000 a month should bring in some results though, are you using a company or yourself to do.
