It is so fascinating watching another window cleaner work. I understand why people love watching me work because it is fascinating to watch.

Saw this technique in an ad for a window cleaning conference and gave it a try, and so far it's been an effective process, especially living in Southern Arizona.

The double hand method is priceless and has saved me many times. Seeing this technique again reminded me of houses with pet hair on the inside glass. I would scrub the window down, and then do a fan with the strip washer to pull the pet hair down and off the glass. It helped a lot.

I've been out of work for 8 months now....I'm getting into window washing so this is a great video....I'm learning a lot from your videos and I will be purchasing this kit....thank you for your videos...

How did it go? You get some jobs?

Man you make it so easy, you are now my Yoda Window Cleaner. Watching your videos more now to sink in some knowledge.

STEEEEVOOOOO!!!! I use 2 trad poles one with mop and the other with squegee THAT WAY I SPEND LESS TIME SWITCHING BETWEEN MY TBAR MOP AND SQUEGEE , I DONT USE THE FLIQ PAD ANYMORE, I always redunk my mop AND no rinse for each window TO GET AS MUCH WATER (SOLUTION) ON THE GLASS , I dont use dawn soap anymore I USE WINSOL APC 100 2 CAP FULL FOR 3 GALLONS OF WATER AND 1 CAP FULL SUPER SLIP. LESS DETAILING AND NO SOAP STREAKING LIKE DAWN.

Thanks Stevo! This is very applicable to us down in Australia 🇦🇺

😎🤘🏼Excellent techniques for days like these. Learning how to use the fliq-pad is a MUST!!

It really depends on the time you can spend on a job and the temperature, but i like to just keep mopping the window until the glass is a little cooler and and the really agressive evaporation is over.

Sadly not an issue in the UK right now.....but i feel alot warmer now after watching this so cheers😊😊 Andrew. Great techniques also

Thanks mate for taking the time to share your knowledge you are a master at your art

I been cleaning windows for 6 years and the best way to clean windows in the sun is with two poles when your working by yourself saves a lot of time then working with one pole

Just keep the window really wet, not so much soap. No need for messing about with extra solutions

In the direct sunlight setting the Excelerator to 10° makes it easier to straight pull to the sill.

5:55 I did this technique today on 28 7ft tall windows and I left streaks on the window on accident smh it was VERY tough

I think the problem is that the newer Fliq pads actually hang a little lower than the old ones, putting the squeegee a little higher instead of more center on the pad. So there is still water in the bottom part of the wash pad but it isn’t being pressed to the glass.

Love it, man! Super helpful! Will be sharing with my team. And thanks for the soap recipe, too!

Yes

I'm cleaning in -2°c in the uk at the moment. You're making me jealous Steve🤣

Try to use less soap to stop the bleeding. Using a lot of soap seems to cause the bleeding.

Well I have got to admit using a pad and squeezy is so relaxing I do miss it

In the 3 years I worked for Fish, I had a lot of high glass that I had to clean in direct sun using only an ettore backflip and unger super pole because that was the equipment given to me. I had to basically wet about 2ft of glass, squeegee, then 2ft more, squeegee, repeat... Pain in the ass and tiring, but a great workout lol.

Most definitely, it can get very tedious especially when it’s a long wall of windows in the blazing sun

Just ask your friendly neighborhood powerplant to block the sun. :D

I do a lot of north facing properties in australia, its tough work. I sometimes hit them with the hose to try and cool them. Very watery mop and two hand technique. I once was cleaning windows in like 38 degrees c with a strong wind and it was just drying before I could get it off even with the two hand technique.

What’s the difference between the soft rubber and hard rubber? When should I use each? Pretty sure company I work for only supplies us with soft rubbers year round and I live in nj.

Hey mate. I'm about 2 months into my busniess now and stuff is going well. Still gaining customers regularly so getting closer and closer to paying the bills each month. How do you do straight pulls without leaving any streaks? Just leave a few mm of dry glass at the top?

@alanweak

3 жыл бұрын

Leaving that dry zone at the top as well as feathering the top and making sure that you angle your squeegee on the way down. If you do all of that but still have streaks/lines, maybe check if it's time to change your rubber. If the glass is hot, you may have to only wet about a 2ft width of glass, pull down on that, then wet the next 2ft of glass, pull down that, and repeat... Hope this helps!

I'd use a hose. When I house wash roofs I cool it down with water before I spray the chlorine on it. With windows you could do the same. Why don't you window washers use a soap dispenser and wash the entire outside structure? Laundry detergent with vinegar works perfectly.

Because he's using a special rubber, he mentions the brand at the beginning. When you clean windows with a Squeegee that came with a stock rubber it won't work for zero detail cleaning. He is also using the excellerator 2.0 squeegee which puts more pressure on the ends for zero detailing.
