Window cleaners?
Do you have one or do you do them yourself?

Re: Window cleaners?
I was just thinking about how much I would love a window cleaner.
I've never seen one about the place, but everyone else seems to not have sand covered windows like we do so there must be one ! I'd happily clean them myself but I just can't reach, even on our longest ladder. I'll just have to rescue what's left of the yellow pages from the jaws of the rabbits and see what I can find.

Re: Window cleaners?
I had one but he came every fortnight. I didn't feel they needed to be done fortnightly and could do without the extra costs. i do them myself now albeit not as often as i should..... and the upstairs outside is done shodily by a long extending pole. It's streaky to say the least

Re: Window cleaners?
We have one, he comes every 4 weks but as we live up a little lane with 8 houses on that goes nowhere, so no traffic coming past to mucky the windows, I told him he could make it every 8 weeks or not bother! TBH he's not actually very good but I'm hopeless with ladders (and I wouldn't trust oh not to fall off!) so he's better than nowt.

Re: Window cleaners?
We have window cleaners. I'm not sure how often they come, but they still do things the 'old fashioned' way - ie one of them actually goes up a ladder and cleans the upstairs windows properly!!!
They only do the front of the house, because the garden gate is locked so they can't get in there. I keep meaning to ask them how much it will cost for them to do the back as well, but they always seem to come when I am out. But now that I am at home more (only work occasionally on a temp basis now) hopefully I will manage to get the back done too.

Re: Window cleaners?
3 times a year sounds good to me.
ive lived here 18 months and only done them about 3 times now.
last house we lived in 5 years and probably only cleaned the windows once a year lol.
hubby to tight to pay a window cleaner and said he would do them but never did.
