[@CoyleWindowCleaning]

Love these videos keep up the good work Peter 👏 👍

[@JasonDunlop247]

Its a family affair & no mistake. Loved the video, thanks mate.

[@glennthompson8378]

Great system. I need to build my business more, but this example gives me great ideas for those dangerous situations when there are windows over steep roofs where its hard to reach

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

I really like these chatty videos rather than music I'm going to do a few myself just need to stop being lazy and set the camera up LOL

[@TradMan]

😊🤜🏻🤛🏻

Excelente compañera de trabajo my fren gracias por compartir un saludo desde España 🇪🇸

[@ftrevino4493]

Beautiful family. My son is his age. We must inculcate them to fear their Creator and serve him. May Jehovah continue to bless you.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Gonna have to head up your way an clean some of these driveways xD

[@TradMan]

🤣🤣🤣 yeah that and roof cleaning is just not done much at all up here. I've never ever seen a roof cleaned professionally thats for sure! Hope your keeping well Sid 😊

[@oside760a]

Awesome OJT! THANKS 👍

[@grez6330]

👍 great video, thanks for sharing guys.

[@diamondback2085]

There is a brass double bend ledger squeegee that will make skylites 1000 times quicker and easier but you will need an adapter for a wood cone. The dbl bend ledger runs like $60 US and the adapter is like $12 to $16.

[@TradMan]

Thanks 😊 I use the excelerator squeegees because they give me zero detailing on the glass to do. Any other squeegee will leave solution behind to have to clean up with a microfiber cloth. 😊🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@diamondback2085]

Every vid i see and learn something new. love your vids! That is so awesome seeing your boy! My son will be coming with me later this week for an awning cleaning. Just wondering how the fuel prices are effecting you. In the US i have not needed to adjust prices yet but its getting tight. Be safe and its a beautiful day to clean windows!

[@TradMan]

Fuel is getting more expensive for sure

[@TradMan]

Thanks buddy take care

[@jasonwilliams4363]

Well done guys and very informative 👍👍

[@TradMan]

Thanks kindly! Glad you liked the video 😊😉🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@thewindowcleaner4646]

👍👍👍 Nice with the little man

[@TradMan]

Yeah he's an awesome little dude! Wants to be in all the videos apparently lol

[@FulvioGa]

You can turn the air conditioning on to remove the condensation from the windscreen, along with hot air it removes the condensation very quickly as air conditioners remove the moisture from the air.

[@TradMan]

My van doesn't have AC 😪🤦🏼‍♂️

[@FulvioGa]

In Italy almost all vehicles have got air conditioning, because over here is so hot during summer, it removes condensation fron the windscreen almost istantly, but no one knows that, although I found that information in my car user manual.

[@grez6330]

That poling would be a nightmare 😳 on a day of higher temperature.

[@TradMan]

Yeah just have to make sure the applicator is really saturated as much as possible 👍🏻

[@vampirehunter2698]

Why no 0000 steel wool for deeper cleaning?

[@TradMan]

We do occasionally use it

[@theoknight8949]

Recently got back into window cleaning after like 10 years got myself a little kit for now to see how i get on your blade seems to glide so nice compared to mine is it maybe because its new or probably just rubbish in general my blade that is doesn't seem to be getting it all of the window at all and tips or help please

[@alanjackson3589]

Do you use tap water for cleaning your windows

[@TradMan]

Tap for trad 👍🏻

[@diamondback2085]

Ok that's it buying another pole. The two hands busy cut time off my jobs. Was a bear teaching myself to do it but was well worth it. Ill let ya know how much time i gain with this.

[@TradMan]

Superb 😉

[@thestalionmassimo]

20.59min what angel is your squechi on? is 30° to much? becos im trying to do Windows of that night with a 30° and i cant do it. i dont understand what in dowing rong. srry for the bad Englisch 😂

[@TradMan]

Best thing to do is experiment with different angles. You want just the edge of the squeegee blade to be in contact with the glass.

[@thestalionmassimo]

@@TradMan thanks 🔥

[@Carzpress]

Was looking a little advice bro of possible on a couple of occasions my squeegees while in my B.O.B got caught on lip edges on Wheelie bins etc and I have a feeling there is a couple of kinks on them both are liquidators one is a 16" 3.0 and a 14in 2.0 have you any suggestions to straighten these out other than by eye?

[@TradMan]

I've never had this issue to be honest. So you reckon the channel is bent? That must of been some force to do that! If it is bent you can try putting it in a vice to straighten it but I would replace it if its bent.

[@Carzpress]

@@TradMan Yeah bro I was standing up onto a crate to reach a window but I was right beside a bin so when I stood up the two squeegees got caught under the lip of a wheelie bin then when I went to use either it was barely clearing the glass your right though probably best to just replace I could spend forever and never get them back the way they were thanks for replying my friend.

[@TradMan]

No worries 👍🏻 yeah just replace 😉

[@user-gq5mo8eu9m]

Where you bought this soap

[@user-gq5mo8eu9m]

That green colour bottle

[@TradMan]

It's fairy liquid

[@marcelkogaing1474]

Thank you for everything, please what are the name the all the utility you use?

[@TradMan]

Very welcome! Sorry which part would you like to know about? Belt, buckets or tools? Thanks

[@marcelkogaing1474]

Hahaha! Your right I need to buy some more lol 😆

[@joeharrison7090]

Wat do u charge per window

[@TradMan]

Depends on the window, size, shape, how much frame work there is to clean like on sash windows etc. Usually it ranges from £1-£5 per window depending on those things and how high it is.

[@Jayswindows1264]

Hey Trad man. Where did u get the small squeege from mate?

[@TradMan]

I made it from a 10 inch. Got a video called how to make a six inch squeegee 😉

Did you remove the wfp tank?

[@TradMan]

Yeah long time ago 😊

🤣🤣 yeah, wfp is just a back up method for me. I have a portable wfp system and if its a large job that needs done wfp I can just plug in my unger hydro and away I go 😊

@@TradMan ye the back pack made me look twice 👍I use my 250 litre tank that use 2 be in van at home as a storage of water iv sent through 2 DI vessels and fill my containers from that for gardiner back pack if I need it .no point dragging around dead weight of a tank 👍

[@paulclark3226]

Hi tradman your wife should be called TRADDESS, LIKE A PRINCESS.

[@charliegreen3426]

08:40 with glass like this, which is (presumably) textured on one side, how do you go about cleaning? would it deem a squeegee redundant for drying because all the water will hide in the crevices and therefore need to be dried entirely by cloth? thanks in advance!

[@grez6330]

You can still do straight pulls,its quicker, I know you and Bob don't give them time of day, baffles me.

[@TradMan]

It's the mess it leaves behind at the top which you then have to detail with a cloth if you want perfect results. Some folks don't detail and don't mind some left over solution at the top or sides but for me and polzn blades we aim for 100% clean using the tool and no buffing glass with cloths which can leave smears and fibres behind 😊👍🏻

[@TradMan]

Yeah absolutely, I use to do straight pulls years ago (pre Excelerator and Liquidators) so I remember the extra time and hassle having to detail the window and sometimes in the direct sun you could see smears where the cloth had been used to detail the solution left from doing the straight pull. Now that precision tools exist I can get a much cleaner, more professional result done. I will only straight pull on very awkward windows that I can't fan for instance if I can't stand directly in front of it and it's high up, but it's not very common, last resort technique as I know I will then have to bring the pole down, put a cloth on it and put the pole back up again to detail, leaving less than 100% result

[@TradMan]

😎👍🏻

[@judedocherty]

Your family are the best thanks for all your excellent videos hope you achieve everything the way you want it look after them

[@Bristol89]

Another great video! I work with my wife, could you put the link for the pink bucket on a belt please?

[@TradMan]

Thanks buddy! I'm afraid they don't actually make pink buckets for sale. Moerman made this especially for Trad-Girl a long time ago. I think you can possibly get the samurai bucket in pink though. Window Cleaning World in Australia sell them and so do window cleaning resource in the USA.

[@MrMet1987]

Hi Pete and Trad-Girl! Great video as always. Just wondering if you've got your hands on the new Moerman BOAB? (Toolholder 2.0) I've got it in my cart on WCW (with Tradman 10 discount at moment and itchy fingers to buy....) but should really hold fire and pull trigger on black Friday next month (if it's 24% off again!) but just wondering if you could show it up close. Looks good with room for 2 washers or washer and F*liq etc. And hella lot cheaper than Luke Drywalker 😅 Cheers in advance!

[@TradMan]

Heya 😊! It's coming beginning of next week so I'll get a video up ASAP 🤜🏻🤛🏻
