I'm thinking of pushing this more myself. Got one tommorow (£40) and to be honest I don't mind doing them. I can see it being quite profitable if priced right.

I do a few internal window cleaning jobs.

I use a 500ml spray bottle filled with pure water, making sure the tds is 000 and also a cap full of Isopoprynol to aid the cleaning process.

Just spray it on and remove with a good quality microfibre cloth.

Regards.

similar to Mr Bungalow, I use a spray bottle to avoid spillages etc, but I use pure water and a product called Evans Hard Glass Cleaner. Spray either onto the window or the applicator and squeegie off, brilliant shine.

You need to think on your feet.

Each one will be different. Some may have cream carpets that can stain easy. Others will have loads of stuff in the windows, but some of those will be happy to clear it out. IMO there are too many variables to have a fixed rate.

Take a couple on the chin and learn from exp.... ;)

50% more than outside.

eg £12 outside; so would charge £18 inside would ask for ledges to be cleared, but don't mind pushing some bits side to side on ledge's

was thinking of advertising inside cleans but ony do on days the weather is too bad to work outside, i know some say custy's only want inside done on same day as outside.
But i think i could make it work; as a lot of window cleaners i talk to will not bother with inside work.

If custy is persistant with inside and out together, could flatly say no; only on bad weather days inside or will have to charge double inside.

But even double inside you could still be out of pocket :'(
