Hello Jason,
I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you or any one at this facility. In the past most of the reason for sending out the memo for the interior window cleaning is to ask the office people to remove articles from window sills. Normally we will move(or work around), and replace big planters, furniture from in front of the window to access the windows for cleaning. A
lot of the time most of the things found on the window sills in offices are personal items. I have been in offices that it would take 10 minuets to remove all the items from five or six windowsills, then to remember how to replace the items as they were found can also be very difficult and time consuming. Then we have to take responsibility for the personal items if broken during the cleaning.
Because it is our job to service the window, we feel that by moving the items so we can clean the window with out harming the item it's self we have successively completed our task to clean the window. There for because most of the items found on window sills are personal items will your company find it acceptable to pay extra to replace the personal items as they were in the same potion on the windowsill?
Then for our service to except responsibility for personal item s if damaged in the process of moving them and replacing them. Most items are would be under the amount of our deductible for insurance and would be replaced from profits. Other items can be pictures and or pitchers frames of family, family photos can be costly to replace, heirlooms an employee didn't want around the kids at home so they put them on the window sill at the office. Our service ex
cepts a
lot of responsibility to move these items from harm during cleaning because we have to clean the window, then to replace them after cleaning adding even more responsibility on our company for employee personal belongings.
This is not in any way to say we are refusing to except the additional work . However we w ill have to reconsider our pricing if we are to add this additional time to every location.
Please let me know if you would like to make any changes to the way your service is
completed.
Respectfully
What do you do when an employee said to you I had to spend a extra 1/2 hour moving stuf f from 4 window sills today?s
Do you charge extra to spend all this time to move & replace personal items?
Dose any one else just move it and leave it?
We ask them to remove items in a memo and state on a memo the we will remove items if we have to but will not r eplace them.
