first time its ever happened today woman says leave them its going to rain hard tonight,looked at forcast and its fine,thing is she needs a new cleaner now  ;D

I think what they really mean is: 'I'm a bit skint and prioritise other things above my windows or my window cleaner'.

Potential customer:

'How much do you charge for a house?'

or

'Are you a window cleaner?'

You usually get this from the neighbour of someone whose underpriced and you have to quote the same price to to her. Mind you if you can do the two houses togeather without moving the van it can still make it worthwhile.

After reading all these posts I remember now why we only do commercial window cleaning.

I had one woman that complained because i made too much noise when i cleaned the windows and then spend twenty minutes telling me how to clean windows the neighbour later told me she also told the plumber how to do his job---dumped
Another one that hadnt paid the month before so paid twice said make sure you do a good job as its like i have paid double this month so i told her well last month it felt like i did your windows for free---dumped

i quoted a new house a few months back and the got the job. i said i would phone the night before, as there was access issues.
 so i call the nite before, the woman says, can you come another day, as her husband was not taking his car  to work, the next day, and it was parked underneath the window and he didnt want it getting wet.  i never bothered to call again....
