Have been asked a few times recently when pricing to clean exterior windows for a price to clean the inside as well. So far I have always declined but am beginning to think I am missing out. 
Do you guys recommend getting involved and what is the best method of cleaning ?
Also what sort of price do you charge ?
Many thanks for any advice guys

Windolene and tissues work well.

Well of course its worth doing...I usually charge a bit extra and get the custy to move everything off cills....mop and squeegee is the best

[wfp master]

Same as outsides blade & app.

Same as!!

25% extra on external price and everything off the sills is a must

I charge exterior price plus half. If it's those little square windows or very large panes then it's at least double.

You also need to make sure the customer knows what your charging for.
Is it just the glass or glass and frames including inside the openers.
These can be a time consuming pain to get clean especially if they haven't been done in a while.
Plus its best to clean them before doing the outsides.

I prefer outsides first if possible.  My thinking is that sometimes there might be a leak when cleaning with WFP - so no problem if insides last.  Also, it's easier to see how well the WFP is working and if any outside bits need re-doing.
I'm sure you have equally good reasons for doing insides first.  Just wondering what your thinking is on this?

Im with David on that one......

+1 but i charge double for insides.
And want cleared ledges

[j timms]

Makes me laugh. If I had a window cleaner who couldn't clean inside I'd get someone else. Bit embarrassing if u ask me

[richard groves]

So say you get a one off clean, a 3 bed semi in a nice area.
From what I read on here thats gotta be a score on a regular, but you double it because its "one off " . They then ask if you can clean the insides as well, so is that then double the already doubled one off price for the outsides ?  £120 total, well done if ya feeling that brave and can sleep at night ! 


I've always just charged the same for ins as outs, granted it can take a bit longer and I probably am a bit slack about my pricing, but I tend to price well for the outside anyhow.
I use a fairly dry applicator and squegee with microfiber towels and scrim, don't carry a bucket around , use a spray bottle with fairy ( keeps water and drips to a minimum )

but at least u can clean insides.

[David stewart]

I charge double for insides, mainly because I can't be arsed with it and the higher price means fewer takers but when I do get one, all sills cleared and sofas pulled out of the way beforehand etc.
It's not pleasant though, constantly watching every step that you don't knock over something and some houses can be complete dumps inside:-[

You have a window with a large fixed pane of glass below two smaller openers.
To clean around the inside of these frames you need to open them out.
This runs the risk of dirty water dripping onto the glass below.
Its also very easy to touch the outer glass with the dirty cloth when cleaning the opened frame.
Im talking about a full frame clean including the parts you cant get at with the openers closed.
If your just cleaning the inside glass then certainly do the outsides first.

[bobplum]

wagtail combi or pure water, in a spray bottle and microfibre cloth

[dannymack]

We charge loads more for insides just let them know there carpets are getting cleaned as well, so we charge erm for carpets cleaned. We wash all the frames inside and cills With the pole. We do ask for items to be removed ie pictures as they will get ruined with all the water pouring down. Lol !!!!!
