Big fan of your tips SteveO I’d recommend an extra pair of tennis shoes with shoe covers kept in your van. They stay clean and save your feet on ladders indoors. They’re easy to slip on and off. Getting interested in the trad pole you’re carrying. Looks better than tightening clamps👊

We have a very similar approach and philosophy. I understood what you meant when you referred to certain squeegees, using too much soap to make some types work etc. Good stuff!

Hi Stevo, I like your attitude with regards to "standards". I am guilty of over cleaning in the past and have recently started to not obsess over getting the glass perfect. My work days are much easier and quicker this way, My hourly rate has gone way up. I would prefer to leave the odd spot here and there to working harder and longer. I think it's not about ripping people off and more about still providing a quality service in a more efficient manner. Thanks. Paul, Wales uk.

Thanks for the Vid. Definitely got some good tips from it.

Use a razor blades can't scratch unless you press too hard - just do it lightly! The 4 in. Ones are so fast and there if you really need extra power for paint or hard bug stuff🤗

I used to install double glazed units and glass a while back and its sad to see how many installers of glass fail to razor off the edges neatly then using pro glass cleaning solution its like £8 a bottle and 2 sprays and a 50p razor a steady hand and 3 mins your work looks worlds apart once you have finished. you clean windows great and I don't blame you for not wanting to scratch the units. keep up the good work mate :)

STEVE, it's like I am watching....myself clean windows. I do the same as you, with damn near the same exact tools. ETTORE MICROFIBER and THE LEDGE-EZE......OH YEAH!!!!

Totally in agreement about adding too much soap , let them do that in UK, I’ve been cleaning residential for 35 years, soap in the bucket has always done fine, no complaints, maybe Dawn is so much more superior than Fairy, ... we do things a little different in America!

Hello steveo, first time comment on one of your videos. I worked in residential for about 6 years before switching to highrise and large commercial, where detailing is basically not a thing outside of very rare instances. In my residential days I pretty much used all the same things you do for detailing. However for the past few years I have been doing a large building lobby on a monthly basis where I have to detail due to metal knobs that stick out in the middle and corner of every window. I was recommended a natural chamois and was surprised how well it works. I'd kinda describe it as a cross between a surgical towel and a microfiber cloth. You can use it damp so there's basically no laundry afterwards and it last for an entire day. Curious if you've ever tried one or your opinion on one.

I love this guy

Hey SteveO, I really love your videos. I've picked up some great tips. if I can impart some knowledge to you; be careful with those basement windows. A lot of them are tempered and shouldn't be bladed. Here's a list of which windows should be tempered according to code: Bathrooms, sliders, doors, anything 3 feet from a door, anything 18" off the ground or lower. Also, always be sure to look in the corners of the windows to see if they are tempered. if they're tempered they usually say, "tempered," buy not always.

Comment about the soap to mop and window starting at at video log 8:30; I like to have a small squirt bottle, of my normal solution, with me just in case my mop starts to dry. I apply that to the mop not the window. It also comes in handy for washing out sills.

Hi Steve. Love the video. Question. Do you offer this detail level of service for all residential customers or is this a speciality service and if so, how much more do you charge? Thanks for all the great videos!

Entrance and exit strips are called door sills. And from floor and carpet or floor to floor are called transition strips. I usually call all of them transition strips by default.

This guy is amazing

This is an excellent video .

Squeeging inside just hold your applicator under the area you are squeeging and follow it down.....no problems with water on the floor or sill.

So cool❤

In your video for detailing commercial can you show how you minimize detailing when you're squeegeeing and how you put the towel on the pole and squeegee with the pole? Also if you could talk a little about when you finish detailing if you want there to be zero water on the window or if you're alright if a little trail of water, if you have a difference between commercial and residential on what you requiring your degree of a detailing (i.e., if you'll leave a little water on commercial). I squeegee and leave just a ton of water when I'm done. I don't know why that happens, but there is a river along the side of the windows and it forces me to spend a bunch of time detailing and uses more towels than I want to think about.

Thanks for the great video 👌 Any reason why you didn’t use a pole instead of a ladder on the inside? Thanks in advance 🙏

Watch all your videos and really appreciate all your tips, just curious why you don't utilize your DI more?

Hello! I'm from Brazil and I do not speak English so I'm asking this question that may sound silly, but it's because I did not understand what you said. Why do you use the steel sponge on the dry glass after using the squeegee? does it not cause risks? Thanks for your videos, it has helped me a lot. I wish success for you!

Amazing video!! U have inspired me to create my own window cleaning business. Also, shouldn’t I be worried of using steel wool on the window? And should I make a damage waiver release form?

@SteveOthewindowcleaner

5 жыл бұрын

AJP75 a damage waiver release form is a good idea especially for construction cleans. Make sure you use 0000 steel wool and just never use it on tint and you’ll be good

I like to have what I call clean cloths and dirty cloths. Keep clean clean like for use on the sides of windows and dirty cloths for use at the base of the windows

Also before I'm squeegeeing my windows on the exterior I grab my Rag and wipe around all four edges of the window so there's less water along the edge on my final pass with my squeegee less detailing

Sick intro boss.
