My Mum doesn't like the hose thingy
« on: April 07, 2011, 10:51:15 pm »
After 3 years of cleaning one house I set up and a woman came out telling me my Mum doesn't like the 'hose pipe thingy'.

Incredible that she hadn't told me in 3 yrs and sometimes stopped me in the street to ask when I'm next visiting?

Some people really are mad as a box of frogs!

its suprising the hostility i hear to the pole method . especially on the council estates where the language turns blue EASILY , where nobody  gets a 2nd chance to correct a mistake

i love the quick fire cutting banter on the estates , the lad who helps me paused for a minute after cleaning a really grubby door and just because he paused a while ,the customer said to him "got a bad back have you? " .

I cleaned a house on an upmarket lane in Newbury two months ago. I texted to say I'd be back a few days ago and got an almost immediate reply of "fantastic job last time".

My dad was a window cleaner for years, with chamois & scrim & later squeegee, yet my mum thinks WFP does abetter job on her windows and stays cleaner for longer.

I cleaned an old lady's house a couple of weeks ago. On the phone she said she wouldn't pay more than a tenner and didn't want a pole like her neighbour has. I persuaded her to pay £15 ever 8 weeks and after the first clean with a pole she recommended me to her neighbour.

Maybe I am just brilliant? But regardless, WFP does an absolutely beautiful job on pretty much all windows. Anyone that says different is either ignorant or has a bad operator.
