From Squeegees to Success: The Complete Window Cleaning Business Guide

[@CmoneyLos209]

Got my first window cleaning job today made businesses cards 3 days ago posted a ad on Facebook market place I spend $50 on a squeegee and soap got called for my first job this morning made $250 off one house in 4 hours

[@Puffwindowcleaning]

@@CmoneyLos209 love to hear that bro, keep the hustle strong 🤙

[@davidhowardfsusanville]

I hold two masters degrees and window cleaning is paying me 75-125 dollars an hour. Highest paying job in my life. Get after it, bid low work hard build it!

[@Puffwindowcleaning]

I love every part of this except for the bid low. I’m bidding closer towards the ceiling 😂. Love to hear that it’s been working for you 🤙

[@bm1588]

Yeah, you want to raise your rate up until your close rate goes down to like 80%. I think it is.

[@bm1588]

really it could be any close rate if you know how to generate more leads. If raising your price by 25% decreases your close rate from like 80% to 60% you are still making the same amount of money because you are charging more. You may even make more money because you have less labor.

Hi Puff. I don't know if you'll see this, but I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've been wanting to set up a window cleaning business for a long time but couldn't afford a van or a truck for the ladder. I had all but given up home until 2 months ago when I saw your little giant ladder sitting in the back seat of your car, and at that moment, my life changed forever. Within days, I had ordered a little giant and a small water fed pole system and flyers to post. I now have 10 regular customers and a school. I live in England, and we dont get paid half as much as you guys do, but I finally have a goal, I finally have a true north to aim for. So thank you. Thank you! And God bless you, Sir.

[@KRIGSSONE]

Been wanting to start a pressure washing company for a while now but don't have the money to get the equipment I'd like so I decided to look into window cleaning as it has a lower entry point to get started and help save money for what I want. After a few vids, the YT algorithm threw this at me on a day I happened to have the time to watch in one go. The energy and attitude immediately motivated me and I ordered some equipment from WCR. Almost immediately scored a biweekly commercial job. Just got my business cards made and am making time to pitch to other businesses this week. Hope you know how much this info helps people. Doing great work sir.

What I've found that helps alot is they sell mops that u soap windows with that have a part of it that u can scrub with helps so much vs having to put it up to use a different tool. Great video though. Also they sell battery powered vacuums for vehicles work great for window sills and saves from bringing out an extension coord.

Instead of putting water or your water & soap mixture in your scrubber/squeeze holder. Bring a spray bottle with you that has the cleaning solution in it, if you use a spray bottle there will be a lot less dripping when removing your scrubber!,

I’ve seen some people use that method. I use an Ettore sleeve that retains enough water to finish most standard interior window cleaning jobs with just one dip.

Another option is a chef's squeeze bottle (designed for condiments) but is also handy for soap or water (or a mix).

When you start squeezing the window pane you should always go back over the spot where you first started that will get rid of the drag marks you left when you first started.

I am confident in my ability to sell as I’ve been in sales for 15 plus years. 2500 flyers, 25 calls back on the low end, close out 20 deals, and get started that way etc. thoughts ?

I think it’s fine to knock neighbors doors of a house that you’ve already cleaned, but let’s be honest 99% of people (at least where I live) don’t want a stranger knocking on their door trying to sell them on something.

There’s a lot more money in residential. There’s also big money in larger commercial jobs, but these tend to be harder to come by.
