I really thought you had dyed your hair orange by the look of the thumbnail 😂. Loved the vid. Thanks SteveO!

[@Clammer_McDavid]

I freeze up like Charles Barkley’s golf swing when it comes to closing out. 😂 Thanks for the tips.

[@josephgimmics7314]

Keep on doing videos where you talk man!! Love the advice and tips you give! Especially your Vlogs on residential and commercial work! Less music and more talkin! None the less, loving it all!

Thank you SteveO! Sounds silly, but all the knowledge you put out has truly changed my life for the better. Can't thank you enough!

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Great to hear!

[@thestalionmassimo]

Yes it is. Thanks stevo

[@calebskinner9348]

Steve, I've been watching you since before I started my business, so thanks for the knowledge. Between you, Keith, Jordy and Luke and Rheanna, it's been really helpful. I have a new method I'm using that you might like. It saves a lot of water and keeps your water clean. The problem was, when I was on long drops (rope access), like 30 stories or more, eventually, the bucket of water turns to mud and the window cleaning gets worse and worse as you go down. We have boabs fastened to our 5 gallon buckets to hold our tools and I started bringing a little cup with me to fill the boab with clean water, and I never put my tools in the 5 gallon bucket. That is for clean water only. I can now do a full 50 story drop with one bucket of water and the water is clean at the bottom. I can just top it up and start a new drop. This only really works outside.

Thank you for taking the time to share this information!!!!

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

You are so welcome!

So I cleaned my mother in laws sliding glass door and it looked clean when I left. I stopped by a couple days later in the late afternoon, and the glass had streaks on it, but it never showed up when I first did it. Can you explain why this happened? And how are you supposed to know if you did it right before leaving? Keep up the great videos.

[@Skiballer]

Nice quick video, worth watching even if you think you know what you are doing. Keep it up!

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

I appreciate that!

[@michaelmorrison6051]

Thank you for all the videos... They motivate me and help's out so much feels like I'm not doing this alone 😅 keep them coming 🎉

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Thank you for this! I have work to do. Also late to the party but congrats on the 30k subs!

[@kennethlevan9370]

Really find your videos informative. Who knew I could wash windows like a pro... almost? How do you determine residential, window washing prices?

Awesome video, thanks for the demo 💪

[@acapellapoet]

Do you think you can do a video like this but with a water fed pole? Thanks 🙏🏽

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Take a look at this playlist kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6GWomOonJ6Vmtk

[@farshinrezaei8568]

Thanks for All Your Video Just to remind Steel channels due to more bending in the engaging part compared to Brass channels have a wider angle This is due to the prominence when using the Excelerator 2.0 handle The lower part engages with the glass even at an angle of 40 degrees It is recommended to use a brass channel if using this handle model In the experience of rope access, this issue has been clearly identified for our work team But there was no problem in using brass or Steel channels with Ettore own handles

[@shenzhang9352]

Thank you SteveO as always! Thank you so much for uploading the basics even after 10+ years uploading the professional work videos. 🤩

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

My pleasure!

[@acapellapoet]

Thanks for doing this 👍🏽

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

You're welcome!

[@coltenhalvorsen7857]

I think I finally understand how to fan correctly but I still leave streaks when do straight pulls. So my question is how do you do straight pulls ( with and without a extension pole) without leaving streaks?

[@ZIASportsCards]

I'm in this same predicament

[@sarahtran1433]

If the rubber is wavy/not straight, can that be the cause of streaks?

[@coblanjohnson3789]

Nice tutorial!

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Thanks!

[@stefanbertasz4690]

As a newbie, replacing the crap aluminum channels with the Ettore brass channel was a game changer. I could be wrong, but I think the Ettore rubber that comes with the super cheap handles is different than the Master rubber. Does Ettore make two different grades? Thanks!

[@jonathanwobesky9507]

I have a New England cape cod built in 1938, there are 8-12 smaller window sections vs that huge modern window. We have those in commercial properties or new construction. This technique would need a squeegie 2" wide. Maybe found at an art suppply store for detail silk screening?

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

A 6” will most likely be perfect from my experience windowcleaner.com/products/ettore-complete-master-brass-squeegee?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS

[@stevenwinderlich2891]

what about a video about soap ratio in the solution, too low, just right, too much, warm or cold water, what you can add as extra

[@AustinSanderson.]

Legendary

[@mikemaynard9723]

I find that I tend to see streaks after I’ve finished in low light. Prior to that the window looks completely clear and no obvious water streaking. Curious if this is normal, or what can be done to correct this.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Sometimes you may see something here and there, but that is only because its so clean that its showing every little imperfection, I would not stress it

[@yasakyasak3556]

plastik pro soft ?

[@АлексейКрошечкин-л5ь]

👍👍👍

[@crystalclearwindowcleaning3458]

You are good at fanning. But with that window, a 20" squeegee, one stroke top to bottom would be much faster. Or at least 2 quick side strokes with an 18" would also do the job faster. Fanning is good if you don't have a big enough squeegee for one or two strokes down or sideways.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Yea....its simply for demonstration!

[@tonylindqvist8634]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheIfarted]

My rubber smears the water when i fan, idk whats going on

Every time you stop or turn you leave a mark when fanning.

[@ivanhernandez7395]

Hey man, is it cool if you can do a video on gutter and solar panel cleaning please! Thank you

I don’t have any gutter specific videos, and I don’t offer it anymore but search KZbin and you’ll find a ton of content about it
