Hi Max and Claire,

you should really visit Malta and just go through the streets looking at windows then you will know if there is a business chance there -)))

Theoretically ,with all the dust and sand in the air, everybody should really be cleaning their windows on a daily basis , but in reallity ..... I never wash my car - I just wait for it to rain -)))

Cheers
Ricky

I remember a couple of guys tried this in Mellieha when i lived there and it didnt last 6 weeks  - they managed to get a few friends to buy into the idea but they went to the wall... so be wary.... its not something you see in Malta for sure..

we tried them and they did a great job  - 2 guys and they were there for 2hrs and only charged €20..

they just couldnt get people to take their service - word of mouth local shop window adverts, flyers, emails, website facebook pages all set up  but got very little business... and then they were gone

I might have to learn a lesson from you Ricky. It drives me mad when I spend an hour washing my car and then 2 days later it rains, it looks like it hasn't been washed for months. Blood rain? Bloody rain more like.

I would agree with what has already been said, it should be a good business opportunity, everything (windows, cars, balconies, stairs) gets very dirty very quickly in Malta thanks to all the dust and rain, but that wouldn't necessarily mean it would be easy to succeed.

The Maltese will not pay for a service that they expect their wives to do!   :)

Most flat windows (windows in flats) lift out and are easily cleaned.

Not a viable business for private dwellings, may be an opportunity for business premises.

I would pay for you to wash my neighbors windows might stop que sera sera being blasted out at 7am every Saturday morning lol but I don't think it would be a viable business model

Again, I agree - it should be a great idea but locals wash their own (if they want them clean) or it is part of a cleaners duties for those that have them. As others have said it is relatively easy to do.

There are a number of commercial office cleaner I don't know whether they are expected to clean the windows but will find out from my wifes office and let you know.

yes, water fed pole window cleaning is not just a UK or USA thing now. its really gaining traction across Europe. we recently bought a pole to clean our windows from [link moderated] the pole seems decent and the brushes do a good job but they dont sell the hose so we can to get that and also the connectors separately, bit of a pain in the ass but now we can clean our own windows and dont have to pay someone an insane amount of money to clean our windows or gutters. we just do them ourselves now
