    Window Cleaners

    Imagine my suprise on Saturday night when my wife and I turned on the Variety Clud telethon and saw a stage full of men in kilts. Well it turns out they work for an Outfit called MenInKilts, a window and gutter cleaning company in Richmond, B.C. Here is there website. http://www.meninkilts.net/

    I had never heard of these guys before, nor have I seen their tartan trucks driving around. I am sure I will now though.

    I wonder how many women will be hiring the MenInKilts to clean those gutters and high up windows now

    Colin,

    Just be sure that you are Kilted (as if you wouldn't) when you run into them and give them a thumbs up!

    More and more companies it seems are going Kilted.

    I like the way they have done their vehicles.

    Interesting note on this topic. Last week I got an email from Brent Hohlweg,
    Founder and Vice President of MeninKilts thanking me for the post on Xmarks. They had gotten over 100 hits on their website just from this post. I am glad to see interest in a local business. Now if Brent and his team would all head down to a Kilts Night we could double the crowd

    I have only seen them on the Variety Club telethon. They were presenting a group donation. I would love to see one of the trucks around town. It's only too bad I am in a townhouse (strata) or I would use them for my gutters and windows.

    One of those hits would have been from me, Colin. I am so sorry I cannot offer them any business as a result, but I already have a good window cleaner! Unfortunately, I have not yet persuaded him to give the kilt a try although he'll happily wear shorts all year round - I'm still working on him though.......
