I know what you mean mate.When I first decided to give this lark a go I had friends and family telling me I could do their windows.I felt bad taking money of them at first but I've got no qualms now.I've found out that window cleaning certainly isn't as easy as people think and business is business!

I am meant to clean my neighbours windows but never get around to it, but she insists on buying me a bottle of wine when I do, which is fine.
I wouldn't charge her because she puts up with the noise my 3 kids make with no complaint. :-[

But if a neighbour insisted on paying I would charge a smal nominal amount so she's happy

same ;)

I charge them going rate.

I don't really like doing their windows you do feel akward knocking for the money so i let it build up and they stick it through the door :)

I'm not a hard man, I just know it is a pain in the backside job, I also know what my dad is like. And they live 150 miles away. ;)
