Hi folks, just wondered what the general opinion was on the worst
household chore. Got to be a two horse race between cleaning the inside
of the windows and cleaning the oven.

We are considering taking on an Oven Cleaning franchise but are curious
about the market. Would you pay £40 to have someone overhaul your oven
?

I would say cleaning the OUTSIDE of the windows is worse, clambering
around in bushes and leaning over strange angles on ladders... the
insides of windows are a piece of cake unless they're someplace
unreachable by a 6-foot ladder. I might pay $75 a year to have someone
do outside windows on a two-story house.

I used to pay $70 a month in the Washington DC metro area (a high
cost-of-living area) to have two bathrooms and a kitchen scrubbed
top-to-bottom and a two bedroom apartment dusted and vacuumed (did the
cleaning myself other weeks). 40GBP/$70USD for an oven cleaning on
even a non-self-cleaning oven sounds ridiculously high.

Sorry...
