Point out + points, no ladder marks in the lawn, frames cleaned aswel, no stepping on their beautiful floral displays, vitually silent and very, very safe!
Virtually silent? ;D
Now you're clutching at straws!

The water cascading down onto the sill and the sill below makes far more noise than squeegeeing will ever make!

Virtually silent :) what about the brush rubbing up against the glass, now that miust make some noise

nope customers who have it done on their houses. few of them right f***in ped off big time. windows a mess etc. will never allow it to be done again this way. Know of a full street who ditched the WC but took a year to happen. One by one they dropped him now they all get them done trad

I have pointed out to a few customers now that if the job was bad but done the traditiuonal way, they would blame the window cleaner.  However, if it's bad and done WFP, they blame the tools.  I actually had customers who were grumbling after the first clean.  A few months later they asked me not to go back to traditional cleaning.

I had an enquiry a few days ago for a large house.  She was adamant that she did not want WFP (even though my ad in YP clearly states my methods).  A customer like that smells like trouble so I politely suggested she phone elsewhere.  I was going to try to explain about WFP to her on the phone but I sensed that this would not be the sort of customer I would want anyway.  I did ask if WFP had been used on her house previously but it hadn't - so I assume she was pre-judging.

Amazing isn't it.  These people seem to think that we lay out thousands of pounds for tools (well, maybe not you Matt :)    )just to annoy them.
I perfectly capable of annoying them without it costing me a penny.

I went to one today, set my gear up, started wfp and the owner comes out and says could he leave it as he cleaned the windows 2 days ago knowing full well I was due yesterday but I was behind by one day. I said he could but I would charge him a cancellation fee as stated in my T&C. He didn't like it, tough.... he paid, Time wasters do my head in. No doubt he'll find that trad cleaner who keeps dropping leaflets in his door. The trad guy is welcome to him as I don't need time wasting custies. Works both ways with wfp.
