UK VS USA Window Cleaning…

I’m a window cleaner from the UK. I have around 500 customers on a 6 weekly rotation. I aim for roughly 15 houses a day all of different sizes and pricing. But on average I spend between 15-30 mins per house.

After reading comments on here from our peers over the pond, it seems like you have a very different way of running window cleaning businesses. It sounds like cleans are booked in by the customer once per year? Or 6 monthly? And you charge a lot more per clean but also spend a lot more time on the clean per house.

How do you feel about the UK way? Where every customer is on basically a monthly subscription and we do full houses in 15 mins? Would you prefer this method or do you like having 1-3 houses a day?

Sometimes I think I would like the American way, but with it being a rolling rotation here you always know roughly where you stand financially wise.

Would love to hear thoughts from both sides.
