I've alwayscleaned every six weeks, seems more and more are going 8 weeks, seems to long to me, I charge roughly £1 per window no matter what the size and £1 per door, so on average what do you guys charge per window on 8 weeks

Most of my customers are every 8 weeks... I don't charge by window. I work out how long the house will take to clean and base it on my hourly rate.

see what ya saying i find that a bit more difficult to work out though, the 8 weeker prices seem very high to me but if you get them there well worth it as i bet whether six or eights weeks takes the same amount of time.

i thought 8 weeks as to long 12 weeks that means you see your customer 4 times a year, you would have to charge alot to make that worth while if you have alot of them

About 95% of our domestic stuff is 4 weekly, the rest 8 weekly. The price is the same as it takes no longer to clean them; anyone who says differently is telling porkies ;D

Aim for 6 weekly, but some go up to 12 weekly depending on size (usually).

At LAST! somebody with a bit of sense. Window cleaning is a business, the idea is to make money not stick to some weirdly rigid timescale that has no logic.

What the customer wants the customer gets and you provide the service. The price is the same, why charge more? This business is going to longer clean intervals anyway. I have some on six monthly now. Still money in my pocket.

Why are people telling porkies , add some birds 2 4 weekly clean easyier to come off add them same bird to same house for double the amount of time then you will have more mess which in turn will take longer to clean, that's just one reason, but look at it from a business angle

if you charge the same thats cool for you , I charge more but my price is not just for the clean it has everything included in it, as it does takes longer per customer and this is for the following reasons:

8 weekly you have to find 2 customers to fill one 4 weekly places, meaning twice the amount of billing, accounting, more fuel, more wear on van, more water and more time talking to customers.


hope this explains why i don't agree with you  :P
