I was once paid 6 cleans up front because they were going to America for that long but someone was staying there to house-sit and they didn't want me asking them for money.  When they eventually returned I was a bit behind with my work and told them that the clean I was doing was already paid for - so they gave me extra an an Xmas tip.  Lovely people.

You know me then?
Looking elsewhere you seem to have issues - like trying to antagonise people.

Had a couple who I'd cleaned for about 2 years. They moved back to Wales and I missed a payment off them. About a month later, they contacted me on Facebook and said they were unpacking in the new house, and when they put the fridge into the kitchen she found the clean note stuck to the fridge door. She contacted her friend in the old street where we work and had her pay the owed clean.  ;D
No still don't understand, I must be thick

A few years ago I had a customer who had to move away for 18 months due to a change of jobs but she still wanted the windows cleaned though.

As phone & internet access were very limited where she was going she gave me 10 pre-signed, blank cheques & told me to fill them in for what I needed & to pay them in at regular intervals over the 18 months so she didn't fall into arrears.

I am very trusted by a lot of my customers but this was a level of trust I have not seen before or since!

Nailing is something you do to women, Gold.  Didn't they teach you anything in the asylum?

When I first started I went to quote a house, guy said yep thats fine here is 6 months in advance.
Seeing as this was the first time he had met me it made me feel really good that there were people out there that trusting.
he is still a customer despite him moving 3 times. His last move was miles of my usual round but I continued to clean and added a few more around him to make it worth my while.

I've got one customer who insists paying me more for the job than I quoted, ie. £30 and they give £40.  ???
Some others have put their own price up over the years.
Good tips and presents at Christmas.
And received gifts, cards and money from customers when our son was born.
Im lucky to have such lovely people on the round.  :)

Takes years to trim the rubbish out, and get it where you need it like that.

This is a lesson some people just don't understand, and never will.

I had a customer pay me via online £400 instead of £40 and when i rung him about it he said just keep it as advance payment for future cleans.

I'd have run off with it, and his missus if possible, just to make things worse!  ;D

I've a commercial customer who has over paid by £545 twice in the last 3 years. Now THAT'S a good customer!
