every 5 weeks,when i was every 4 weeks i would be cleaning windows that realy didnt need doing,and very often i would be cleaning a house and thinking christ im sure ive only just done this one.

[JM123]

monthly, we try to keep to the same date each time.  gonna change it over to 4 weekly though, gets you an extra months money each year

[mark dew]

i do it 4 weekly. Though i never thought of gettiing in an extra months pay when i did it.
I just thought it would be easier and i might pick up more work if i was in a certain area on a particular day of the week.
Bonus though.

[Londoner]

In the "old" days it was always done monthly because it was easier to keep to arrangements like" first Tuesday in the month" or "second Friday" or whatever. The customers would remember when you were coming and everything settled into a comfortable routine.

Now everyone seems to use computer systems where you set up a weekly frequency but the customers don't remember which week it is so don't expect you.

4,6,8 & 12weekly...keeps it nice and simple

[SherwoodCleaningSe]

Every 4 weeks.  I do the same work on the same day every 4 weeks.  In my time I think I've lost a total of 3 customers who had moaned at me coming twice in the same month, like on the 1st and then the 29th.  But apart from that it keeps me organized and I've got a good week every week.

4 weekly always that way i go on the sameday every month

[Ian_Giles]

4 weekly for me, or multiples of 4 at any rate.
I have a couple of offices that are monthly as against 4 weekly, but with commercials in particular it is easier to be weekly/fortnightly/4 weekly. (or twice weekly for a few).
Shops and so on I am on time almost to the minute, domestics...well, I'll get there when I can, sometimes I'm bang on the money, but if I'm delayed cos of weather and so on, or holidays then I can be a couple of weeks late, it's never really caused me a problem.
My commercials have to come first.

Has to be 4 weekly so you get that extra money only time we are late is if it is Pi****it down then we just work later the following few days to catch up

[S.A.J]

I’m 4 weekly as well, do get the odd  comment when we turn up twice in a month, all I say is when I quoted I did state that I come on a  4 weekly basis and not monthly.

Some people still don’t understand when i tell them that

[Russell Macdonald]

All my work is 4 weeks.

I've lost a few because they wanted 8 weeks, i don't offer that so if that's what they want they have to find another wc.

Neither.  It's nearly all six weekly for me so the length of the month is not an issue.

That's why I switched to 6 weekly a long time ago.  I had a lot of people wanting bimonthly so I split the difference to bring them all onside.  I didn't have the assertiveness back then to say monthly or not at all.

[Moderator David@stives]

weekly , fortnightly, 4 weekly mostly, some commercial monthly and 6 weekly.

A dozen or so houses 8 weekly, some other commercial 3 times a year.

My bread and butter though is 4 weekly, that gives you 8% more money over a monthly schedule.

Supposed to be 4 weeks but I always seems to end up 5!
