i've had it bouncing up off the pavement its been raining so hard. as for looking desperate i'm geting the job done and i have proved on more than one occasion that wfp works in the rain (and wind). if the customer doesn't like it then they are usually looking for a new window cleaner very quickly...

i wouldn't be out there getting wet if it didn't work! as long as my feet are dry i'll keep working (used to be timberlands, now have changed to dewalts)

i stop for thunder and lightening!

We have worked the rainy days for the last year or so, all new customers are told this before we take them on. 

Besides when it rains only 1 side of a house normally gets pelleted with rain.

I'm sure you can, but it's never the gauranteed job you do when it's dry.
They should come up well, but they might not.
But customers don't see it that way.

You can hardly blame them. :-\

I do clean in the rain but make execptions for thunder, lightening and windy rain days....on my 'you're windows have been cleaned today' cards it states that in the event they are unhappy with the work they should call me within 24 hours and I will return to handle any issues.

If we were not to work in rain, soon to be rain or it rained earlier then I seriously doubt I could earn a living...

This is my point exactly... "but it's never the gauranteed job you do when it's dry."

I want to be 100% sure the job's done perfectly!  8)
IMO you cant in the rain!  ::)
