@@silentgrind34I don't put up ads or flyers. Literally all my work is word of mouth or people curious, coming up to ask prices, how far out ill travel, etc. I obtained a contract with all the community buildings on an indian reservation (tax emept). So pretty much everything but they're casino, I was asked if I wanted to do the casino but I passed and referred them to another window washing company I know who specializes in commercial. I tried using a fb page and ads for 1 year but all I got was countless spam phone calls, messages & people who ask for info & estimates, then stop replying when I ask for the address. So I went back to my old ways lol

Especially when the tops can be done wfp which saves time and makes you safer. Been doing this 31 years now and don't use ladders but still do bottoms the traditional way. No need for the risk of ladders now but if you are happy with that the keep it up Peter as you are a great trad cleaner. Just personal choice with ladders though.

Hi Tradman. Really nice video. Without music! Calm and easy to listen and watch👍
For someone like me just starting out in the business I have to say this is one of the best instructional videos I've seen, no music is why I picked your video to watch, and you showed us the job from start to finish, you did an excellent job by the way, I have just about all the water fed pole gear needed to do the job, but I also want to be able to offer customers a choice of WFP or traditional, no doubt I will get customers that won't like the thought of me leaving the frames and glass wet, which is why I'm in the process of buying a full kit of traditional gear, thank you for taking the time to make this video and for showing us the gear you use, my mind is now made up on which ladder to buy, one last thing, which brand of soap do you use ?, cheers Trad Man and all the best for the future.

Great video as usual Tradman👍 I've been using the new Moerman 3.0 channel and end clips for a month or so. I found them through CLEANING SPOT based in London. I usually use Window cleaning warehouse for supplies, but they have taken a while to get them in stock. I think you will be impressed with the new clips. I find they do perform alot better, they just feel more forgiving on the glass , less issues with streaks and lines!👍😀

I’ve just started, I’m in Nashville, Tn, and I have a 14” ninja and I got the new moerman 18” excelerator with the 3.0 liquidator channel. I’m practicing everywhere I can, work, home, jiu jitsu, but I’m having a hard time with leaving lots of detailing. And trying to use it on a pole is even tougher. Today I noticed that when I switch to my left hand, I’m almost 80% better, but still trying to teach my right hand.

Be a big fish in a small pond, not a small fish in a big pond. The window clean and go is what I call " slap and tickle" race to get it done, round every corner leave water on the sill. Moerman needs to make a variety of sizes. A Excelerator 1.0 makes a great handle for a 6” channel.

You detail the door but leave the frame on top full of spider webs. See 15:35 and on. I understand you must stop somewhere or else you can clean all framework of the house, but to me the door is an eye catcher and should be clean, including the top frame?

Traditional window cleaning offers a finished product that grants you the confidant.
I was trad from 1991 to 8 years ago then went wfp Found that there is a lot more money in it working like you than just splash and dash everything Working in Hertfordshire and Greater London and easily making nearer to £300 a day doing the job slow and steady but 100% bang on Since knowing Bob Hatt and playing around with liquidators since prototypes I have got to the point that wfp is useful but trad is 100% spot on and often quicker

Great to hear your feedback. Its refreshing to hear there are folks out there still focused on doing a great job and not just an ok job, and not looking for the fastest method, as often is the case more speed less quality
Wow thank you so much for this great video. I’m moving from my tree surgery business into window cleaning when I relocate to Spain and your videos are a massive help. Do you charge per hour for a “detailing first clean” then per window on regular follow up visits? I know it’s not something we usually share in public but a bit of pricing strategy would be a massive help as I make my change. Have you covered this in other videos?
So my question is... how much did you charge for that job? 100 pound? 150 pound? I can see just the outsides as being a 30 min job. Just curious. I love that you are detailed and no just a "window cleaner".
In the US we have to inside and screens so i don't ever clean all the frames that great just a quick wipe
Could you give us a rough estimate on what to charge for some houses like how many windows etc ?
@TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER I use WFP mostly, but I do use trad for internal cleans and restaurant cleans. Mostly commercial work blocks of flats and offices, where the use of ladders is a no no. I was shocked that you used the moerman without the angle on the rubber just a straight cut, also wetting the rubber before using it on the glass. I do find that when using the Moerman on the pesky restaurant windows that are about 6'4 high and about 2' wide, I find that the squeegee leaves an area of about an inch on the left hand side of untouched soap, unger squeegees do not. I prefer the Moerman on these windows, as they are the flat bifold type windows with thin rubber seals that the ungers can get the edge of the squeegee rubber lift ofF the glass, if you know what I mean, so you have to be really careful with that. The Moermans clips help keep the rubber against the rubber window seal, but this inch of soap it leaves is annoying as I then am having to sweep back up to clear it again and I feel it is a technique issue, not a tool issue. I use the Moerman angled rubber in the channel. Any advice? No sarcastic responses from the rest of you 😁😉

Don't forget to tell the viewers, only work 2 handed on the ground floor only. Does that Samurai 2 insert really 🤔 work? As for the applicator, I am trying to invent a device capable of holding the applicator horizontal, instead of vertical....seems to me that it would solve it drying out and being too wet on one end.

Yup sure so 1. After dunking applicator in clean water. Apply soap directly to applicator sleeve. 2. Make sure your squeegee rubber is flush at the ends of the clips. Not too long or short. 3. Pin the rubber in place. I use unger green insert clips which hold the rubber better and lessen the chances of lines/streaks caused by rubber pulling out from the channel during use. 4. Choose a good rubber. Personally I've found the best rubber with Liquidator Channels are ettore master soft and unger green power rubber. Some folks really like razor red but I find it too grippy on the glass in liqs. Try those tips if not already, and other than that it's practice, practice and practice some more 😎

Its not cheap like lol. But for using excelerator squeegees I've found it to be one of the best. Version 1 wasn't great but version 2 with rubber insert in the squeegee divider is better
I think the small sots on the frames are spider poop!
Where did you get that small squeegee? Can't seem to find any smaller than 15cm

Hello! Just watching videos as hoping to get away from truck driving and been thinking about window cleaning. My parents window cleaner and the guy who does my aunty's windows say alot of older folk particularly want traditional. Just a little question- are you pretty quick when not making a video? My autny pays £4 for the front of her semi detached house trad cleaned, but I'm watching thinking how the hell would he make a living on £4 unless he was really really speedy

Yeah we charge premium prices and deliver premium quality. I'm am faster when not filming yes. We have a minimum pricing structure. £11 minium for any low level work and £16 for any high level work.
How long would this house usually take if you weren’t filming and going at your usual pace?

I want to know more about that belt setup. Where is the link for that harness/suspended belt? Also can you touch on pricing jobs. Inside/Outside and whatnot please.

@@TradMan oh awesome thank you. Have you ever done a video going over your belt setup? If not I think that would be a good addition to your video playlist. I myself do have some back problems and the harness set up that you got looks like it would take some of that load off my waist.
