Just looking at the possibility of setting up a window cleaning business in France. Wondered whether it would be feasible or not...
Can't say I've ever seen any WCs in France.

A new custy of mine has just moved back from France and they said they don't have them over there - whether that's true or not I don't know, maybe because they were in a village or something .

There windows open inwards so I've been told......low demand I'd say, but I've never been there ...

Doesn't look good reading that


I would imagine there will be a commercial side in   big city's .

I think Ben m is from France which is probably why he is cleaning over here lol 😊

Only place I've ever seen them in Europe was in Amsterdam.

Don't tell anyone on here that you are thinking about becoming an immigrant.

One of my customers' son is a window cleaner in France. He has an Ionic system in a trailer but I believe he is commercial only.

He'd look a coq in van.

Even if they open inwards, people still have to clean them. I would guess they would pay for it doing

I've got a customer in her sixties who owns 5 houses in France - I'm her first ever window cleaner (U.K of course) - reckons there's a need but could never find one.

I'm in Paris as I write this and there are lots of window cleaners. All very amateur though, probably charging a few euros for a shop. A professional outfit would have a notable prescence

yes owner cleaning  their own shop front windows, you can't make a living in France as a window cleaner, except if you do commercial

Beer (wine 🍷) money yes, to make a living, I doubt it
