inside every xmas before the tree goes up :P

 Me too; and again in July when the tree comes down.

You joke about that but who's going to be the first to see Xmas decorations on some house about mid November?
Plenty of houses round here still have them up, they are just switched off.

My windows are done prob 4 or 5 times a year. Most of the time its only because I'm doing the neighbours windows,.. they weren't bad enough that I'd be motivated to do them if I didn't already have the gear out.

I was talking to a wfp lad outside his house in Leeds the other week he was ranting onto me   that a office he cleans had asked him to come once every 3 months instead of monthly..... I  noticed his own windows didn,t look to have been cleaned in years ;D ;D ;D

I do mine when i just about cant see though them...which is about once a year.  ;D

I too agree, cant beleive people are so funny bout getting their windows done regulary, i have a lady that rings me EVERY month to see when im coming and to arrange a good time to come.

If i had a window cleaner and he was late or whatever...i wouldnt go to the hassle of ringing them! At least not after only 4 - 5 weeks lol.

As said before they need to get out more. And i agree, wfp you could go 3 months really easily. In fact i have a few 3 month'ers...i put my round to 5 - 6 weekly, so the every others are 10 - 12. The 10 - 12 are noticably worse than the others!

Cobblers bairns that's me

Had to get a window cleaner he does them every four weeks

I don't really see the point in going to six or eight weeks, the clients usually want four so four it is

Is it a false economy going to six weeks but adding extra clients?

Every four weeks keeps them well happy,no chance for someone to cut in( eight weeks cycle the customer thinks u might not be coming back) and of course 13 lovely payments a year

4 weeks is too often for WFP, 8 weeks can be too long for some...6 is a good compramise

With mine it's the dusty cills that prompt me. Every couple of months or so.
It's a game of three halves!

ive cleaned half of mine this morning(the front above a sloping roof)as the guy who lives below me was still in bed probably sleeping off his hangover!

i drip dirty water on his windows when i clean my own round the back so a give his a free clean but i didnt want to disturb him with the brush on his windows on a sunday morning!! ;)

ive also cleaned the van with wfp and filled up ready for tommorrow.tightened and taped up pole tap and im all ready for this weeks onslaught!! ;) :) :)

about 3 to 4 times a year....funnily enough did them today as I had cleaned the gutters out as well...thats enough...itīs normally the insides that need doing as the dogs loves to lick the windows for a little bit of fun.

6 is losing half a clean, 4 weekly is king 8 weekly is a comprimise, you know you want your van back and your heads spinning...
