Why is watching someone clean windows so satisfying? 🙂
@MarshawnDixon Жыл бұрын
Yeah😊 I’m about to get a window cleaning job by the way!
@Kynetguy Жыл бұрын
No doubt. I worked in an office that had glass walls everywhere. It was so satisfying watching the guy clean. I had to learn how to clean windows like a pro and bought some tools. Life changing around the house. Especially the big mirrors in the bathroom. The wife was so impressed at a large completely streak free and perfectly clean mirror. Well worth learning how and spending some money.

Could you make a video on the bare tools you'd need to start? I got my work vehicle and have the money for work insurance. But I'll have about 500-600$ to get tools after that. I plan on buying more and better stuff as I get money. Your videos are the most informed I've watched.

I'm guessing you only use product on really bad windows or if you're not running the water fed system .

@@SteveOthewindowcleaner Thank you for the answer. What I see here in Denmark is that a lot of the window cleaners do not do a whole lot to the frames. The prices are also way lower than what you charge in the US. A regular house is no more than 30 - 40 dollars. So it needs to be fast and precise. Why is it the excelerator is a no go for you? Does it really eat through rubber a lot faster than other channels?
