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.

 
It's a game of three halves!

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  ;D

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 ;D ;D
