Did internals on two bungalows and a terrace in December for established customers....not difficult just doing the glass, but ensuring your not trailing water,knocking ornaments,having to remove your shoes etc is the hassle and time consuming...and of course the chatting, so preference is to try and avoid.I do a handful for established customers,I don't like doing them.
The only upside if you get offered a brew at the start of the job NOT at the end.Did internals on two bungalows and a terrace in December for established customers....not difficult just doing the glass, but ensuring your not trailing water,knocking ornaments,having to remove your shoes etc is the hassle and time consuming...and of course the chatting, so preference is to try and avoid.
exterior only.......your making a rod for your own back cleaning insides IMO...once you have a good, solid, busy, round you wont want to be faffing about with inside cleaning...do yourself a favour and refuse all insides from the off(apart from an elderly customers kitchen window on request).........Looking for some more advice please if anyone happy to contribute.

when your a lot busier you really will not want to do them.....i lost my last inside job around 2 years ago(large posh house)and she was a pain as id arrive sometimes and she d be out and id be waiting around for her(after cleaning the outsides)...also i hate the pre arranging.....for most work i just turn up,splash and dash and put a bill through the door and off to my next job.....?I clean the insides of some of my elderly customers in a care home I do and some of my elderly neighbours. There is no problems and I have a chat with them but there is usually ornaments to move about. I can understand why folk don't want to do them because there's more risk involved.

Can imagine it being a bit of a nightmare if your not good with a squeegee.Not bad if it coincides with it lashing it down outside, but otherwise a pain. Often boiling hot and takes me ages as im not great with squeegies etc. Just always have to price it so you get your rate. Sometimes ive just abandoned squeeg and just damp scrim it on and dry off. specially with smaller windows.
