I've gotten that call about 5 times over the past year, I always say "windows, I just cleaned our windows, I don't need any window cleaner" and hang up before they can say anything.

About four years ago I called Century Link and said I need 'call block' and for what I'm paying, I don't want to be charged anymore. They gave me call block for free the next day. When you get a number you don't want, dial *60 and when it answers, you dial #01# and the last number is blocked forever. Unfortunately you can only store 12 phone numbers at a time. I have since gone through that dozen 3 or 4 times. Everytime I want to add a new number, I've have to remove one. I keep a list in the drawer and whatever one is the oldest I'll remove it and add the new number.
