on my rounds ,there are a few houses next to exsisting custys, that look like they
haven't been cleaned in years,

i think some people aren't bothered by having dirty windows.

Your right, if they want them cleaned they will.. Many of the stinking window houses will never get them cleaned.

I only do mine to give a good impression, otherwise i wouldn't bother either :P

The windows are dirty because they dont want them cleaned.

Look out for a For Sale sign, different people bring different lifestyles.

Just dont knock on the house where the previous resident has moved to.

Some people just don't care about their windows.

However, I never like cleaning those properties where the insides are so filthy, it's pointless doing the outsides.

I remember doing one, thinking, 'It looks no better now than what it looked like before I started', it was just a minging house full stop.  I disliked doing the place because it made me feel like a con-man; what was the point?  I couldn't really avoid it too, because I did the rest of the street.

I was quite relieved when the lady told me that my services were no longer required.

:) This is true!
Nothing like face to face contact... Evenings best (early evening!)
something quick like..
Couldn't help but notice your window today, do you have a w/c?
If no!
Maybe I could call tomorrow (daylight) and give you a quote!

Either way you know for sure! 8)

People with really dirty windows are the type that ring you when they can't see out of them and cancel after you have cleaned them once or twice.

People who want window cleaners are the one's with fairly clean windows anyway.
