what do you do  you do when you go on holiday i print my tickets with I am on holiday in what ever month I go and your next clean will be late. I make sure they I told as well but still get where have you been. it dose my box in

[SeanK]

The last thing I would do is broadcast the fact that I wont be at home for a fortnight, if the customers get a late clean once
in a while so what its not the end of the world.
If they ask me why I tell them I was on holiday if they give off at this then they get politely told where to go.
Mate if customers are doing your head in for any reason then they should be removed from your round as soon as possible.

In over 15 yrs i have never told custys about my holidays i dont see the point and very few of them ever ask why i am late .

[jwplasterers]

The golden rule never tell anybody

[dazmond]

ive known loads of my customers for years,some i tell,others i dont.if your only gonna be a week or two late it doesnt really matter.

if your going away for a month for example i would tell most of them.

that reminds me!only a few weeks til i go to ibiza for a week!cant wait!

I don't generally tell my customers when I'm going on holiday. My feeling is you don't know where that information may end up.
My next door neighbour was burgled about 7 years ago and the thieves went straight to the only two places in their home where there was stuff of value to be had and didn't touch anything else. Police recon they had the information in advance as they appeared to know exactly where to go. Where they got it from they never worked out.
If I start telling my customers when I'm going away, that's hundreds of opportunities for that information to inadvertently fall into the wrong hands.
I've found that customers usually work it out for themselves whilst I'm away. If the query why I don't tell them, then I explain. They usually reply with something like, " Good thinking."

Facebook could be one possibility, its unbelievable what some will people post on it.

[M & C Window Cleaning]

That's probably true. I don't use it, but I've heard stories

[Shane sharples]

I let all my customers( about 500 customers) know I'm away for 2 weeks on Facebook, and tell them if any money is owed, can you please post through my postbox as I won't be able to collect - at least that way I don't have to collect when I get back 

[paulben]

If you need to tell them say your going to be a week late no need to tell them anymore and never what dates your away .

[KS Cleaning]

Remember to tell them it's a camping holiday you are going on..........then when you come back with a tan tell them there were sunbeds on site!

[stan stansfield]

i never tell anyone,few might mention you are late,but im always late as i dont do rain

[Phil J]

Most people don't even know when your coming anyway! The older customers know, and when you show up 2 weeks late they always ask "oh, have you been on holiday" Oh yes, sorry, I've been away and I'm miles behind, sorry about that!
