I always wipe all four edges before I squeegee a wet micro fiber does the trick. It takes out alot of that excess water makes detailing a lot faster and my blue rags stay dryer longer fyi buddy!! Ur a great window cleaner. Josh Divine Shine LLC MN

Perfect clean ,,,one of the best job in the world thanks for sharing i do this now for 20 years in Luxembourg Europe Big Respect!

[@pittsburghcoffee3329]

Thank You both for taking time out of your busy day to teach. You are so professional and a great teacher! I'm new, but practicing on my own windows, amazing compliments. And just taking in all of your advice will help me more than anything. Lost job and companies offering me such low pay, once 60 you arent looked at the same ( I cant blame them , I had my chance, but trying to re-event myself) if they only knew I am a fucused person, in amazing health and in great shape!, I would hire me, hey I just did lol... 35 plus years customer service, I listen and takes notes too :)... your help is very appreciated! thank you again !

[@eleventothesun1158]

God bless you and best wishes in your endeavor. I'm a 15-year-old trying to make some side money through a window cleaning business.

[@pittsburghcoffee3329]

@@eleventothesun1158 Hey thats awesome! 15 years old and learning to clean windows for a way to earn cash. Thats 👍 great. And after you have a number of customers remind them to allow an appointment so you have them and the cash coming in. But happy for you. I am doing it on a small scale but could easily up the work if I pushed it. God bless you young man! I am happy for you! Having a good squeegee and mop and the good glass micro fiber towels make the job so professional and easier. I use dawn soap. But in hot weather it dries up so fast so a wetting solution additive will help give more time to squeegee the water off the glass. Best to you.

I’m with you on the bath Towel Stevo - slung over the shoulder, thick n thirsty and great for laying die to protect flooring and for wiping the frame/sills - and leave my surgical towels for the glass detailing 👍

[@208Cashen]

I need to start carrying around a large towel. I go through so many surgical towels. Nice straight pulls.

[@FlashTechEngineering]

Hi Steve , I always lug around the old bath towels as well for all my commercial and residential window cleaning jobs, TIP. I also on big windows for straight pulls I have the towel layed out on the ground so when I've come down 3/4 of the window I dab the rubber onto the towel in one sweeping motion, cleans the suds and prevents drips especially on windy days ,My TIP you should use the wagtail red rubber in you edging tool, cleans the frames a lot better than the sorbo rubber, cheers David. Adelaide Australia 😀👍

[@jamesgrey8093]

Hey stevo hpws things , well im a newbie out here in north bay canada and have slowly grown a small clientel in small routes because right now im using our towns buss system to get around and im not doing that bad considering not having my dream dodge buisness van but i will survive. I have just recieved an ettore kit from amazon this week and this month i will order a decent tool belt and bucket. But you are right and it does not take fancy equiptment to do quality craftmanship but it dont hurt to have good tools. You have been a good mentor.

[@uptownwindowcleaning4353]

Nice video! Your techniques prove that quality is better even with commercial work.

Dude! The guy I learned windows from used to have a stack of old beach/bath towels that we would use! Sling it over your shoulder and use it all day. They rock!

Try Steccone aluminum- Arc enemy of Ettore - My dad was from Oakland and Ettore said give this guy a wholesale license- Unger I use Monsoon sleeves - Now I use microfiber sleeves on my Tbar - Slop towels are indeed great if your drum roll “sloppy” ! Costco yellow microfiber for sloop ! Just bought 40 pounds of USED blue huck towels - new ones have a ton of lint -

[@jonashansen442]

I just ordered the Unger Ninja, is it okay to cut the rubber yourself? I've ordered the 105 cm (41 inches), so is it okay to cut the rubber yourself?

[@TheStingraysHub]

i have some questions im tryna fix. What do you do about really dirty windows that make the brush and bucket of water dirty quickly. Multiple brushes? or is it cuz when i clean the window, i put the brush back into the bucket of water until im ready to use it again for the next window. is that the wrong approach? i see you only have a bucket of water filled with mostly dawn? or all dawn? so you barely have the brush in the bucket? is that why?

[@shahimroya6377]

Can someone tell me how you would clean shop windows that have stickers on them (like marketing and promo stickers)?? Do you avoid and work around them or can you go straight over it?? Thank you in advance

[@Alex_Correa]

Neon lights are very fragile. Make sure you take a look around the hooks and wires before you move them around. Many times we look mostly to what we are doing and think everything will be okay with the light. I broke one once and had to pay. They are just too fragile. I broke because the channel touched the glass.

[@renostubbs8504]

What's your views on microfiber towels,I bought loads of them

Typically 1-2 hours and then get a fresh towel

You can always use a drop cloth for painting can cover like 10 ft of floor that's what I use inside. Works really good if you got windows over a bed or like piano just throw your drop cloth over it
