Filthy First Clean. How I Do Them

[@JasonDunlop247]

I've always used the highest flow possible Dave. Keep telling other window cleaners to do the same but they just don't get it! I absolutely fly through my work . Thanks as always for the upload ☘️

[@squeakycleandave1]

Its definitely worth trying for a week or so to see the difference if they don't already do it 👍

[@crispylimbs]

What kind of jets would this be with? I like the 1.4mm but they do limit flow but increase pressure 👍🏻

[@seansrecords]

it depends on the cleans i used to be a pump directly to battery with an on/off switch and absolutely rocked through work i have a controller now and usually crank it higher than most but it is overkill on new windows that get cleaned every 4 weeks... plus it depends how much water you carry

[@JanetHurst-zu9bg]

I wish you lived near me Dave, you do a brilliant job. Sound like a lovely man taking such good care of your wife. Nothing wrong with the music on your videos either.

[@squeakycleandave1]

Thanks Janet 👍

[@fensterputzernuernberg]

Thanks for the video Dave... always interesting and a pleasant viewing experience

[@squeakycleandave1]

thanks for watching

I use the unger nlite brush as an everyday brush. Love the bristles but all sorts of problems otherwise. The rinse bar wears badly at the ends and splits. I've had 2x connections on the pencil jets snap. I love the swivel but the constant movement wears the joints quite badly so it becomes very slack and it can't be tightened. 3 in a year . Looking at the xline dupont with the rinsebar in the middle of the brush.

[@SamuelPeden]

Interesting feedback, can't wait to see if we have the same nlite issues. Xline rinse bars are really good, if you order use code tcg5 to get 5% off and support the cleaning guide

[@timhancock5556]

@@SamuelPeden Cheers Sam 👍

[@squeakycleandave1]

I do normally use the Xline brushes on my Ova8 but been testing the Unger kit for the Cleaning Guide

[@germanavilan7005]

David It's a good video with that brush It's not for longer live on the first cleaning I using Gardiner Universal Brush strong bush It helps a lot that brush I'm Using when I'm going often to clean where you don't need to scrub much It's a very delicate brush ....!!!!!

[@squeakycleandave1]

Thanks for the advice.

[@DarrenJohnBayliss]

Hi Dave, over here in Ireland. Love the videos. You did a video before about how you do first cleans and you mentioned UBIK 2000. And you were putting it on with the back pack. Don't you bother with that now? Is it just fairy on the brush every time? I've been using fairy on the brush for a while but I'd like to know your opinion as you've tried both options. Fairy seemed to work well.

[@squeakycleandave1]

It depends on the job. Most of the time it’s fairy on the brush. If it does need a chemical I use synergy pro from Pureseal now

[@JungleOfMeat]

You should do a tutorial on how to rinse for higher windows like 20-30ft

[@squeakycleandave1]

I will keep that in mind. 👍hanks

[@Davez2023]

Put the pole between your legs. It helps stabilise it. Also move closer to the house so that the pole is more upright and thus lighter.

[@deejaymobile]

Hey Dave, really enjoyed this video mate, very enjoyable to watch with loads of little tips too (Didn’t experience any sound issues either). Have you moved away from your Streamline in favour of this Unger pole now, just interested is all. Cheers, Dave. P.S. Hope to see you at the window cleaning show September too.

[@squeakycleandave1]

Hi Dave thank bud. no I'm still using the Ova8 but we have bn testing the Unger kit for the Cleaning Guide👍

[@deejaymobile]

@@squeakycleandave1 oh of course! That makes sense. 👍

[@petebarrett2838]

Morning Dave.. got a first clean Today so will be trying fairy on the brush. It makes sense as I've used it on trad for years.. the upping the water is going to be a leap into the unknown as I've got only 250lts so let's see what happens..😁 all the best Dave and thanks for the great vids 👍👍👍

[@squeakycleandave1]

Hi Pete. Hope it went well today. Hi weather permitting we will be there to clean your windows tomorrow. Thanks. Dave did you get on with increasing the flow?

[@deepcleanhomes]

Dave do you no longer use the Ova 8 pole?

[@squeakycleandave1]

Yes mate. its my every day pole. I was using the Unger to test it for the Cleaning Guide

[@michaelbarry5869]

hi Dave i am thinking of getting nlite 24k pole and brushes - any recommendations - is hi mod worth the Xtra 1000

[@squeakycleandave1]

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to try the hi-mod but I do know that the 24k is excellent carbon.

[@FlashTechEngineering]

Hi Dave, even better 1st cleans use a injector with vision in the canister, use the customers water supply and run off tap high flow, so you can go around the whole site in one hit, then come back and rinse with pure water 👍 much quicker and cleanses everything

[@squeakycleandave1]

Great tip. thank Dave 👍

[@JamesAclass]

Hey hon 1st cleans have you ever used no nonsense degreaser from screwfix.if so how do you rate it?

[@squeakycleandave1]

Sorry I haven't but ive heard some good things about it.

[@markfielding5120]

I use that.. Great stuff

[@bbarnes5739]

Just a question about power washing Dave , can I use hypochlorite on Indian stone? Cheers barney

[@squeakycleandave1]

I would have thought so but I’m not an expert so I would check with the manufacturer to make sure

[@issaissa9320]

Hello, can the Gardiner adapter be attached to this brush?

[@squeakycleandave1]

The Quikloc can't but if you put a Euro thread gooseneck on it will screw into the brush kzbin.infoaCRdpW6Lxns?feature=share

[@danivinson]

Nice video Dave, I'm knackered just watching! Did you have a swivel on the brush? I usually have a back pack with pole setup and fairy liquid in it for first cleans, keeps your rinsing down free from soap. Not sure if it's as quick? How does the grip compare with ova8?

[@squeakycleandave1]

Yes mate there is a swivel on it. I took a while to get used to the grip but I did in the end and it’s ok.

[@pauluss1053]

I make them as perfect as possible =on first clean, ill unger rub out or pink stuff upvcs to take out greying, restore everything so it is ALWAYS perfect for YOU coming back making your job easier upon return. You also only have one chance to make a great lasting first impression. My work is super compact as often ill get neighbour recommendations, word of mouths, mentioned in residents groups and reviews. Noticed by neighbours watching me work. Somebody see me there for taking 30+ mins to do a first clean totally properly has made me off leaps and bounds. I dont now need to advertise or promote, new work finds every week now

[@squeakycleandave1]

Sounds a lot like my round. Your reputation is defiantly your best advert 👍

Could you get rid of the backing music on your videos so I can hear you better. It's not really necessary

[@squeakycleandave1]

Thanks for the suggestion 👍
