One tip I will give if you're doing kitchen windows that have grease on them and it's hot and sunny be sure to degrease them first before you wash them otherwise you're going to get streaks lots of it. I also think there are some glass that's more prone to getting squeegee marks than others I can't exactly explain it but some are more prone

I’ve been cleaning for 6 years now and I love it. I always use liquid squeegee for my “soap” it works so good. if I have to clean a restaurant I add a little dawn to help with the grease. I love that blue handled squeegee you have I need to look into that. I have a basic swivel handle. Gets the job done but I like the one you’re using too!

Window cleaning looks like the simplest thing ever to do when you look at. Pick up the tools and actually give it a try and you will find out quickly it's anything but. Someone who can wield a squeegee on glass especially at a height (on a pole) successfully is past a talent more like an art form. Great tips. BTW the water fed pole I picked up with your help from Window Cleaning Resource works outstanding. Thanks for your guidance.

When I first started learning my boss put me on a window and told me to clean it. I cleaned it went and got him to show him. He comes right up and says it looks like shit do it again. I cleaned the window again this time I think I did better. So I go get my boss and again told me it looked terrible and to do it again. I think I cleaned that one window until they came and got me for lunch. Mind you we start at 6 am and take lunch at noon. Also it might sound weird but my one colleague that I was with had me relax my hand holding the squee and did the motions for me.

I do my single house windows about 4 times per year. To extend squeegee rubber lifespan to about 5 years, only straight down or sideways glide is used on the windows. A 24 inch Sorbo squeegee is used for the large windows, while a 14 inch Sorbo is used for the smaller windows. For a large window, the 24" is used first, followed by the 14" for the remaining small area. I like the fly screen removal tool tip. Fortunately my 5-year old house fly screens can be easily removed by hand.

Hey SteveO, I bought a Super-Channel and the clips are completely different than the brass ones. It has thin, silver clips which I am not used to. I've messed around a bit with the super-channel, but it's much more difficult to use. Sometimes I can get it working great, and it makes short work of huge interior windows, but other times It will leave wavy-streaks and I end up having to re-do the window. Maybe you have a video on super-channels? Or if not, any advice would be helpful. I know that Super-channels are much more difficult to control, but even with the perfect angle ( while doing pole work) It will streak sometimes, and I end up switching to my 18-inch Ledger channel. It would be a lot less work if I could get the super-channel dialed in. (It's a 36-inch Sörbo Quick Silver Clip Style Wide Body T Shaped Aluminum Channel) Thanks EDIT: I found your video on Sorbo squeegee clips, and your dish soap method makes those silver clips a thousand times easier to use. Thank you.

Thinking about getting into Window cleaning. Large market/plenty of market share. Reading some of these comments have me a bit baffled. Like any trade there are different schools of practice but in the end if the finished product looks clean I doubt there'll be any real noticeable differences between "professional" and "amateur". An amateur can still be skilled. At least that's what I'm telling myself as I consider to start this career! Good stuff.

Put a couple squirts of soap directly on the applicator, just seems better than in the water for me. Have a bucket on a belt, half litre bottle of water with you and you can leave your main bucket in the van out of the way. I just usually go back to the van every hour or so for dry microfibres and top up from main bucket. If i have busy day or dirty work i bring a couple of 5 litre tubs clean water so can change main bucket if needed. Add a touch rinse aid in the water for a nice sparkle 😉 😅

How often do you have to change the towel you use? If you come across some with really dirty edges.

i always load new rubber with the logo facing down, i like to always know at a glance if i am on the first or second side. so when i turn the squeegee toward me if i see the logo i know i still the second side available. also i rarely use the ettore channels in my moerman but occassionally so i ground out 3 scoops where the teeth go so the handle grips the rubber and i don't need the end clips

do you need to try and keep the handle parallel to the window bc sometimes i go over something and there’s still soapy water on it

Nice work and thanks for the tips ….. as a home owner, is the best solution a few drops of dawn in 3g of water, or is there something else or trick with the cleaner? My house is in the woods and the windows get dirty fast. Also, what about your screens?

Hi Steve-O Thanks for making this video. What should I use to clean the dirt/dust off the wooden trim around the windows?

I’ve only just started with my step dad and uncle and my step dad always complains about me leaving the odd streak in the corner of the window but it is a decent job, it’s fairly peaceful only problem I had is my holder kept smacking against my kneecaps as I didn’t have a belt and I have a new pair of shoes and after a while my feet was hurting lmao but yeah give it a try

Thank you for the content! I am starting a window washing business of my own and am trying to figure out the best poles to use with our ettore squeegees. I have the same ettore brass backflip squeegee that you are using in this video. Do you have a suggestion for best poles to go with?
@doctorspockARTS
@doctorspockARTS 2 жыл бұрын
I suggest you ditch the poles and use an extension ladder. When you use a pole you leave streaks and have to waste time cleaning the glass. If your customers don’t care the by all means use the poles I guess I should ask are you working for someone else or do you sell your own jobs. If you work for someone else then use a pole because your boss doesn’t pay you enough. If you are the boss then don’t use poles if you can avoid it.

Garelick poles are good poles and are descent for the price . Carbon fiber are great but expensive too. If you practice a lot, poles are best on commercial jobs, where you cant get a ladder in . Water-fed poles are king on big 1-4 story jobs where repetitive window cleaning is necessary. I would urge on Houses/residential work not using poles. Use Ladders, or a sectional (Metallic) ladder on a house . Sectionals allow you to get weird places in houses (skylights, stairwells, peaked sets, and over furniture)... Happy hunting and good luck 👍

I was gonna learn how to fan so I don’t have the lions like you said but doing three pull downs and having two lines which type three seconds to clean up with the closest to me is faster
