Window Cleaner Makes Suitember

Ian will be donning a different fancy dress outfit everyday throughout September.

'Suitember' fancy dress challenge for Torrington window cleaner - Don't be surprised if you look outside and see Batman with a bucket of soapy water giving your windows a good scrub. A man from Torrington is donning a different fancy dress outfit every day throughout September to raise cash for charity. From Spiderman to Elvis, Ian Kevern, 45, will be wearing a variety of costumes on his window cleaning rounds. Ian will be dressing in some madcap outfits for a charity challenge which he has dubbed Suitember.

He said: “I was thinking about something to do following Movember, so I thought of Suitember. I thought I could wear Batman or Spiderman suits. I put it to my wife who thought it was a good idea. “My wife is an art teacher and has offered to do my makeup if needed. I don’t want to be wearing a hot mask all day, so I thought makeup would be better.” Ian said he was keen to hear from people who had any particular costumes they wanted him to wear.

He said: “I am open to offers of suits. If people want me to wear a particular suit I will for an extra donation to charity, as long as it isn’t a mankini. “I have already had one person ask me to wear a bright suit covered in printed balloons.” Ian will be raising money throughout September for Edukid and the Barnstaple Chemotherapy Unit appeal.

He said: “I asked people on Facebook what charity they wanted to donate to. A few people mentioned the chemotherapy unit. “I have a few friends going through chemotherapy. I have had cancer myself from a malignant mole on my leg. “The chemotherapy unit was a charity I wanted to donate to. I did a charity bike ride for Edukid last year so I wanted to donate to them again.”

Ian said he was looking forward to dressing up for work. He said: “Every day, including weekends, I will wear a suit. I might be down at Bude dressed as Batman. “It will be a bit of a challenge window cleaning at times. I will have to pick the right suit for the job.” Search for Squeak Ian Clean Torrington Window Cleaning Service on Facebook for a blog of his challenge.
