I work in light rain and through showers. Been heavy for the last hour but I might get an hour in later. We'll see.

yup-its playing havoc with the business
more of the same next week looking at the forecast
its not the window cleaning thats suffering,its trying to finish off some major driveway jobs(sealant,tarmac restoring,re-sanding etc..)
oh well,at least i got to finish off my new office this week(major shopping trip to ikea monday night with my girlie-shopping and a meal out-now that really hurt the wallet!!
)
Nearly the weekend everyone,so come on-one last push
regards
Roy

You get to know customeres working hours etc to an extent... so when its pis*ing it down, go clean where you know their be out. Thats my trick, but thats only if I wanna get wet, 50/50 normally

Bit of a weird one this week really - hard rain, light then sunshine - I've done all my work in it - at times, got paid at the door whilst it's tipping it down - and I've even picked up 2 new customers @ £10 each whilst out cleaning

Have not struggled all week with the rain just keep on going and not one customer has ever moan me cleaning in the rain, so dont know why all these window cleaners not going out and earning there wedge.
Is it the customers that really dont want them doing or is it that some window cleaners dont want to clean in the rain??
You provide a service to customers, so give them the service that they want, there windows to be cleaned.
Some proclaim to provide a regular service but your not given them the regular service if your behind due to the weather.
So get off your butts and get out there come rain or shine
