I used to do when I was on 4 weeks. It does seem to come round like lightening. I changed to 5 weeks & it stopped completely! :-\

I'm now on 6/7 weeks due to the amount of work I have.

One thing I will say- I find the longer the schedule the better you can price along with a more stable round. ;)

im on monthly but after a big price hike drive I may be loosing some so will be going back to 4 weekly possibly and no they dont tend to notice ... when i was  4 weekly they never did anyway.

If they do moan about that time again or you been here once this month already then will offer them bimonthly for an extra price hike again.

simples love this business !!

It happens once a year, and there are 28 days between each visit. Ok it may still be the same month

I know what you mean, I wouldn't want to be full all day every day, where's the flexibilty - you could easily become a slave to george - it was a post that stuck in my mind though

in an ideal world having enough work so that you can clean 5/6 weekly is perfect. If you are just starting out, go 4 weekly, and then when you get more work that you cant get it all done in 4 weeks then spread it over 5, then 6 ect.

when you get to must work to do 4 weekly, take on someone to do it, why work 5/6 when you can earn the same in 4 athst not good advice ?

I am not about to change to 5/6 weekly 4 weekly or 8 weekly and I am not new

In my experience it's not really an issue because
You always explain to new customers that that is how the round
Is set up.In reality, through one thing and another it is sometimes
Longer through bad weather and holidays etc.Always start as you mean to go
On and you won't go far wrong,

why do 4 wky ?

well they are lightning fast to do - customers love it and as posted either 13 cleans a year or 12 with a nice holiday and a christmas break

never had any1 complain about seeing me twice in one month

the flexibity is that they get done when i get there,not stuck to the same day every month,so the same time every month to me is the slave bit,and at the end of the day we probaly all do the same amount,

i always say "calendar monthly"  and roughly get round every 4-5 weeks for most domestic  work.i like to keep my round loose and easy to re-schedule.i never for example give a next clean date!thats too rigid a schedule for me!!it allows me to work around the weather and take an impromptu day off or early finish when i want.

otherwise IMO i might as well work for someone else feeling that ive got to force myself out of the door when i have low motivation although that happens rarely these days as ive got good motivation the majority of the time.


best wishes to you all
