Straight pulls will result in no streaks. Fanning is faster but will leave squeegee steaks which won't show up on overcast day but sun shining through you will see chatter marks

[@pump434]

One of the better window cleaning tutorials on here! Thanks for going slower and explaining why you do and don't do certain pulls and fans.

[@SunshinewindowsAu]

Would it be worth mentioning how an aggressive angle eliminates detailing next to the frame? I personaly move up into the corner come halfway across the glass drop down and come back up the other side then drop down the remaining sides then tackle my mountain. this alows an acute angle between the channel and frame on all instances of the frame. Great video 👍👍😁🏆

Sunshine Windows great point!!

Do you mind me asking what channel and rubber you are using. I'm currently using moerman, but having issues. It probably me, but worth trying something else. Cheers

How often do you change your mop out?

What is your views on microfiber towels

[@adriyanmusic]

I do very successfully first 2 mistakes

[@windowcleaner]

[@marlenecollins801]

What type of soap mixture should be used doing windows with the sun on them. Thank you.

[@windowcleaner]

You might want to try adding a wetting agent that slows down drying like EBC Glide - windowcleaner.com/products/ebc-glide or Winsol Super Slip Wetting Agent - windowcleaner.com/products/winsol-super-slip-wetting-agent

[@carterwindowspecialtyclean7948]

Hey Steve O the streaking left behind sometimes I see a dull wide ban rather than a line. Is this caused by going over dry areas or lack of pressure? Or ? I tend to catch it later and wipe them with a dry surgical towel. I’m pretty green when it comes to window cleaning. Always love your videos

[@erlingjker7413]

Hello. Super video. I have a question . When i start cleaning windows i start like you in the left side. But sometimes the squeeseer jumps. What do i wrong. Plesase someone helps.

[@johnjames5007]

Were did you get your 18inch squeegee from

[@renostubbs8504]

How long did it take you to learn these techniques

[@rickstid-bits]

When I'm done with a window I have some soap and bubbles at the very edges of the glass. On some windows it's almost like it's slightly underneath the plastic frame. Should I wipe a line with a towel to dry those or leave them alone and will they disappear when they dry?

[@riteguyssports6308]

Tremendous

[@windowcleaner]

🙌🏻

[@thomasfriend9582]

What soap are you using it last forever

[@EbnezerOdubanjo]

Hello, I need some urgent help. I used my window pole to experiment doing cut in straight pulls on my personal window. I've been using HG Window Cleaner 500ml and I thought this might be the issue as to why my window cleaning isn't too good so when I tried out cut in straight pulls on my window I switched to washing up liquid. The washing up liquid made my window look so clean, after I had to scrub and squeegee with my pole a few time, but upon further inspection I saw dry rain marks on my window. What can I do to get rid of these dry rain marks and offer a better service to my customers? Many thanks.

[@paulbissanti4319]

Amen

[@mattharper154]

How much dawn soap do I use?

[@windowcleaner]

It depends on personal preference on the glass, but we recommend starting with a dime-size drop of soap and increase to desired results.

[@gagebryant6246]

Some say that window is still clean to this day.

[@FitnessMcDonough]

😂😂😂

[@steveelmejicanolol6058]

Thanks man I'm a noob lol

[@hnzjr6571]

Wondering how many time you have to rinse it per window

[@thomasfriend9582]

Oh and what do you use to clean the frames if real bad algae

[@windowcleaner]

Algae is pretty easy to scrub off, if vinyl, i would use my normal towel or if they are bad, a bit of bleach ~Jersey

[@bazvd226]

You don't use a sponge for the sides/edges of the windows?

[@bradcruise9730]

how do you discern or judge to use more or less soap on yr applicator. ie very dirty or hot in the sun windows. thankyou cheers

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Brad Cruise I put soap in my bucket, I put enough in so I see a good amount of suds on the window

[@lesliejohnson3457]

How do you stop the dirty water running down the sides of the window frame?

[@nathanbeairsto9689]

I get stuck on the turns when fanning. I always leave a bit of water and it's driving me nuts 😄

[@windowcleaner]

HAHA!

[@ryanfuller6248]

Hey Steveo I keep having the problem of leaving a line of water at the top of squeegee. Its an arching line at the top every time I turn the squeegee. Any idea what causes this?

[@TheMrBrendo]

I have the same problem and i think its because there is cleaning solution in the channel of the squeegee but im not sure. Let me know if you have figured out how to solve that one, cause i sure haven’t!

That is one clean glass

My main problem is I keep leaving streaks on the upper right corner. I can’t figure out why.

[@windowcleaner]

its how you are turning your channel, you might be letting it go backwards on the glass ~Jersey 862-312-2026

[@Vestin732]

Now try straight GG4, Unger Soft Rubber, Brass 18", Flat Window Seals on hot large pictures in 98deg F direct sun. Then fanning gets challenging.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Vestin732 I like dish soap, in the sun I use the two hand method and pick up the speed a bit

So...we're trying to help people learn here. Stop drinking the damn vinegar M8.

Yes, of course, I apply everything I see here, but when I try to apply what I witnessed, I find myself not exfoliating well

[@zuohircherki9022]

I don't know if the problem is with the way I hold it

[@davidsmith2472]

You are wrong on finishing mate all ways finish in middle of glass if you finish on side you have to use skrim after to finish of on side wasting time. And as for sun drying the glass then you are two slow on wetting up and blading off . And best blade is 16 inch on all pains witch is standard size for sale if you can not use that blade then it’s skrim job . Ps I’ve been doing windows for 47 years

[@dizzychizzy1]

i think it clean mate.....

[@craig6903]

How eliminate fanning mistakes? Stop fanning 🤣. Straight pulls might take more time, but it will save your risk. Truth be told, only other window cleaner care about how we clean. Customer just want clean windows. They don’t care how. Just like none of us care how a plumber unclog a toilet. Just want the job to be done with
