First clean from hell!!!!!!!!

[David Williams]

Just had the worst first clean ever.

The customer sacked the old window cleaner last week after he cleaned the windows LAST WEEK

I cleaned today and couldn't believe my eyes.....

The frames were green the muck coming out of the frames you could have put on the garden

The vents you couldn't see.

Bearing in mind these were cleaned last week.

I asked the customer was he using a pole system?

Yes was the answer.

He had been cleaning her windows for 11 years ( not any more I may add )

1hour 20minutes later = new happy customer

I can't believe there are cowboy window cleaners

It isn't rocket science....!

Just see the customer at the school gate and she gave me another £10

She must be pleased

^^ lol, I have one to do tomorrow like you cnc. They had some work done and called me to do the inside of the conny roof while the work was being done. I said give me a call when you're ready. It's been over 12 months and she called me on Tuesday to ask where I was . I had given up on it and wasn't that bothered about not doing it. I will have to up the price as it is well under-priced. Can't see that going down too well, but if they don't like it they can get some other mug to do them :thumbsup:

I cant believe they stuck with that windowcleaner for so long. Would love to see some of the other houses that he does. Did you charge more than than him?.

I had a first clean today. It wasnt too bad apart from the fact that the dogs seemed to prefer to dump on the path around the house rather than on the 3 acre garden that surrounded it. Long streaky poos as well......looked like they had been on the vindaloo!. didnt get any on me ladder though.

hmmm yes....me had a smurf moment today...i call them smurf moments after a post where he said he nearly fell off....i was trying to get around the back of a house and one side is a shed in the way ,the other a walk through a rotten gate and the dogs dumping ground ...not fancying that i walk along the wall carrying my ladder which is kinda scary, but hey i have done it for years..

..i was nicely walking the wall back and thinking how well the day had gone and i came to the tricky bit...this bit the bush had grown over and you couldn't see the wall....well i kinda miss balanced and nicely fell backwards....lucky for me some how i caught the wall with my foot and managed to regain my balance....well i would have fallen on a plastic oil tanker but who knows where my ladder would have ended up and remember all the dog poop nicely waiting below for me...a close call for sure....oh dont worry next time me gonna kick hell outta that bush....:devil:

You would have been a very smelly splodge of a mess cnc.

Have you ever noticed that when you are cleaning a house with tons of turds about, you always seem to drop a lot more stuff. I always end up with a cloth falling from my pocket straight onto a steaming, stinking piece of dog butt candy.

I have kicked most houses like that into touch. They are just a complete pain.

 

[cheapncheerful]

yep we windys have to put up with a lot....so far pretty lucky with the old dog butt candy but now you have mentioned it bound to cop one......

I must be a lucky boy. The wife cooked a nice beef pie then washed up and the kids dried while I sat with my feet in front of the fire wondering what my first bevvy should be.

 

[Tuffers]

Too true cnc. The worst bit is she rinses the suds off before I can dry the plates. Ever noticed they take longer to dry up when rinsed?
