Great video Pete. I still use a trad pole sometimes and very good on windows that you can't use wfp on (I have a couple of customers that have an old window that leaks but you can't access without a pole). I know you like the moerman but someone recommended me the wagtail high flyer (haven't used the other models really) and its superb - you'd be a dab hand with it mate. PS. Don't care what anyone says, your traditional window cleaning videos are the best on KZfaq by an absolute mile 😊👍

@TradMan 11 ай бұрын

Yeah having trad pole skills is a good thing for a pro window cleaning service. I have tried wagtails but wasn't impressed with the build quality. Appreciate the kind comment buddy, I just practice and then pass on what I've learned over the years. I think the key is to always want to improve and learn more, even if its just refining your techniques. Most pro window cleaners could do what I do with the right tools and techniques plus plenty practice 😉

@kevwgs 11 ай бұрын

@@TradMan thanks Pete. I wouldn't be without the trad pole and don't know how some window cleaners do wfp only as it would restrict you quite a lot I think. If you get the chance do try the high flyer - I wasn't overly impressed with the build I saw of any of the others I've, but the high flyer is terrific 👍

I use the xero carbon fiber pole. Love it for traditional. Taking a break my dude. Finishing up a $1200+ house with pella take aparts. It's 90 degrees Fahrenheit with 90+ percent humidity. Stay hydrated and keep the squeegee clean!

Hi Pete I’m new to window cleaning, could I use this method instead of using a ladder In general? For 2 story houses? I find I’m not very stable and struggle to get a good technique when I’m up the ladder, I am very new so if it’s best to just get used to the ladder I’m more than happy to, really enjoy the videos bud you are very helpful

@mattfob 10 ай бұрын

Hello mate, sorry for the question that’s not really related to your video (which was really helpful, thank you!)… Do you have a tool or method you use for cleaning out the crap that gathers in the gap under a window frame / above the sill? Been using a bottle and squirting it out… just wondering if there’s anything better… You’re always where I come for advice, appreciate it!

Yeah its not easy. I've got a few jobs with this issue. Takes a bit of patience and precision. Or you can cheat and use the wfp for that job, entirely your call 😉

What poles do you think are good for starters? and how long do you think is a good length? I am looking for one that doesn't have so much wiggle. I am from Denmark and LOVE your content!

@TradMan 11 ай бұрын

Hi buddy I started with an Unger optiloc aluminium, it's cheaper but it has quite a lot of wiggle! The more expensive the pole generally is better carbon. Which in turn is more rigid. It depends on your budget really but the cheaper it is the more bendy it'll be. A good middle of the road choice is the gardiner slx. It's not as expensive as an Unger nlite and is more rigid than an aluminium pole which is also heavy whereas the slx is lighter. But if funds allow I would buy the unger nlite poles. The carbon is top of the range Around 20 - 25ft is a good size for a longer trad pole

@alexanderokholm5355 11 ай бұрын

@@TradMan You know where i can find the SLX pole? and would it maybe be better just to get an Aframe ladder?

@TradMan 11 ай бұрын

The SLX pole is available directly from Gardiner poles online (UK company) I have ladders and poles so anything I can't get to with ladders I can get with the pole. I'd suggest the same setup for you if you can.

@TradMan 11 ай бұрын

If you've bought a 14 inch fliq it should be the same length as the 14 inch channel. If it's quite a bit shorter then you've probably been sent the 10 inch version.

How would you deal with cleaning window so high when it’s really hot (around 110f in Phoenix)? The solution dries so quickly that I don’t know what to do…

@TradMan 11 ай бұрын

You have to work a bit quicker and use a little less soap on the washer than you may normally use in more moderate temps. In this video I was working slowly for demo purposes but when not on camera I work much quicker. If its a larger pane you can break it down into sections, ie clean the top half first then the lower half. Make sure the washer is as wet as possible in high heat.
