How can your hubbies labour be free - is he nuts too? Does he clean for a hobby? A weeks labour and £140
He'd be better off working in Macdonalds surely?  ???

Have you broken the news to him that he's actually working for nothing?

yes he knows said I did that right thing as he hates the window cleaner involed , the bigger picture is the flats are worth just under 8k a year all  in , some done every 12weeks and some done every 8 weeks

they get done on weekend days or if its sporting with rain in the week this way not upsetting our round customers , it will fill two days a mouth for our second van and I am going to look at two massive blocks of flats in London for her next week same deals on the table lucky were running new vans down there

 we also agreed that I will clean all carpets in a standed two bed flats (empty)  for 85 pounds each and if there in the same block and getting done the same time as the first flat any others will be 60 each there after I made a big push on how we have the most powerful carpet clean in the country and our carpet cleaner as be doing the job for over 20 years she loved it and wants to sign us in too a two year deal

So it was the right thing because he hates the window cleaner or because it makes good financial sense?

I wouldn't believe everything thats said on this forum. Apparently Susan has defied the laws of mathematics and business and has managed to build a large business with employees by working for nothing or very little.

We've heard it all before in the carpet muncher section...

does sound like you have cut your nose off to spite your face, i think thats how granny use to say it ???
as mentioned the only people who have probably gained is the block management company

Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity :)

I make Management companies sign a contract with me to clean it.   I charge one stair £1200 for 3 story block and I use use WFP.    They tried to cancel and I said your Termination fee would be £1200 as there was a guy who was under cutting me by £100 however that was a few months ago and they just signed a new contract at £1200 again for 1 year!

As Bob said 'Profit is sanity'   

p.s I sometimes under cut other cleaners just to p them off.   I got a women on ground floor about 4 windows OAP home for £1.50 and she always makes lads cup tea, sandwiches & biscuits and normally pay in £18 for the year!   I did that just to p off the other guy coz he does same to me.

You all sound a bit moronic around your way?
