Does your window cleaner come when it rains?

Just wondering if anybody else has a window cleaner who turns up even if it's raining? I was most surprised to see my window cleaner doing my windows today in quite heavy rain. It was raining last month too when he came, though the rain wasn't as heavy as it was today. I'd never dream of cleaning windows when it's raining, so not sure if my window cleaner is an oddity.
The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

Our window cleaner specifically does NOT come when it is raining. He uses the ionised water system so rain water would interfere with that and leave the windows dirty.1

Usually yes. He has a schedule to keep to so it's either do it whatever the weather or not get paid.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.1

No ours works around the weather that said normally rains the day after1

De-ionised water, which basically means all of the mineral salts have been removed resulting in no streaks when it dries. Would still clean your windows in the rain all the same.Le_Kirk said:Our window cleaner specifically does NOT come when it is raining.

My window cleaner also uses the de-ionised water system, and he doesn't come when its raining.1

The de-ionised/regular water thing is irrelevant really. If the windows are dirty, they’ll be cleaner after cleaning regardless of water type/cleaning system or whether there is rain, sleet, snow, sunshine, tornado, etc.
I guess it boils down to a number of variables, not limited to; do the windows need cleaning? Does the window cleaner need the money? Can he be bothered to come out in the rain? Do you want him to do it when it’s raining? Etc.2 -
The other option is that he defers the cleaning until he's completed his circuit so you wait longer and have to put up with dirty windows for longer.They will be cleaner after a rainy clean than they would be if they were left to fend for themselves.When I was working I used to clean the car in the rain because then it got a rinse I didn't have to do myself.
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

Yes our window cleaner comes when it is raining. It doesn't really seem to make any difference to how clean the windows are whether he cleans them when it is raining or sunny.2
