Windows dirty on the inside!!

[Matt123]

Hi. Started trad a few months back now building up slowly. I do a few house that I have cleaned 4 times now, but some of the windows are filthy on the inside. Maybe it's just me but does this really annoy anyone else? I suppose if there happy then I should just put up with it...

It's ok until they complain the windows are dirty! I always enjoy asking to see the inside and wiping my finger across the glass and saying "sorry love it's on the inside" always enjoy seeing the faces drop! [emoji23]

I have some customers who could do cleaning their inside windows every now and again but no it doesn't bother me as long i get paid.

im the same i often think why pay to have them cleaned on the outside lol infact i thought the same thing today /emoticons/laugh.png

Personally I wouldnt pay for a window cleaner if I didn't clean the inside once in a while. But it's not like I'm going to go round saying that, not very good for business!

Offer to do the insides too for a price?

 

[Eddie dragon]

Did one with my old boss. Bungalow it was, black mold all over the insides. Not just the corners all over. Done every month. No way could she ever see out or say we missed a bit. Sill she always payed cash. Far as I know he still cleans it.

Had a few where the insides looks to have been cleaned in leverpostej...

I'm convinced that some customers just want to show the neighbours and the street that they have a Window Cleaner lol

yea I think all of the above when I'm out, it's a win win for us tho.

does anyone else charge more for the insides or is just me as I find it takes longer always stuff you have to be careful around and moving nets and what ever else is on the sills . the way I look at it is my liability is higher as more change causing damage so I charge more most understand if they question why I add 50% as it normally takes that much longer

Snap! I add 50% to insides too /emoticons/smile.png definitely takes longer

I've always done this. I've been caught out in the past when they had secondary glazing also so make sure you check for that. If they have Georgians I charge at least double the price of outside sometimes 2.5x. £so £20 outside, inside will cost for standard £30 Georgians £40 secondary glazing £ a lot

I never used to but now I charge 2x for internals.

This is usually as it needs to be by appointment as they are never home.

If I see that my customer has a dirty windows from inside I always offer to get them cleaned for a good price as I do care a lot about how my finished product looks. OK I loose 1/2 an hour every now and then but at the end it pays back.

Neighbours are passing by and windows look dirty. I know it is from inside but they dont.

same here - inside are 1.5 times the outside.

Customers never seem to complain about the inside pricing as they only have it done every so often an they really do notice the difference.

I heard one of my newer customers on the phone to one of her girlfriends saying "the window cleaner is here doing the interior & exterior - its the best £100 I've ever spent"

She's got a cleaner that comes in twice a week, why not just get her to do the inside and save me doing it.../emoticons/tongue.png

 

[Eddie dragon]

I don't always charge extra for inside. 1.5 for new customers and realy bad ones.

I do 9 or 10 monthly customers in and out every other month. I charge same as out as its a easy job an a brew.

I'm constantly amazed by a lot of customers. Happy to pay monthly for outside Window cleaning. Insides are realy bad. Same with sofit an Facia green and horrible.

The card I leave every time says in and out plus S. F I tell them I can get it all nice and shiny clean. They just don't care.

I always make a mental note of the really dirty inside ones. They are the most likely to say I've missed bits etc and so I'm ready for them lol

 

[lbcleaningservices]

I charge little more for inside ( depends how bad )

I also make sure they clear everything away from the windows otherwise it's a nightmare
