It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it. Windows, huge transparent glass that let's customers see the products in the stores. Windows are a type of advertising if you will. If a businesses windows aren't clean, they can't advertise. Therefore it's probably a really good idea to keep them clean. Sure, an employee could do it. However, in Lawyers offices, Doctors offices, and more it is unlikely to occur.
With very little start up you can go into business for your self as a window washer. How? Simply buy the materials, some glass cleaner, rags, and a squeegee. Place fliers around town offering your services to other businesses or home owners with 5 or more windows. For home owners you may need a ladder.
Offer to clean it for a set amount per window for homeowners. For example Mrs. Smith has 10 windows needing cleaned inside and out. You could say any thing under 20 windows is 3 dollars per window and anything over 20 is an hourly rate.
Alternatively for businesses, you would ask them to commit to a contract of service. For example you would clean their windows every Friday morning before the "rush" and in return they pay a flat monthly fee. This sets up regular work, where as home owners give contract work.
Believe it or not, in a big metropolitan area you can make a tidy sum a month. Never look down your nose at any business opportunity, because if this type of business gets big enough you can hire people to work for you and just take a cut off the top.
