Now this is what I like to see someone having fun 😃 Great job Steve the people inside must have thought that window must be really dirty lol

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Thanks, luckily the business was closed for the day lol

[@LukeTheWindowCleaner]

Youre awesome Steve O!

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Thanks Luke!

[@jrcimini]

Good video. Straight pulls are underrated.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

John Cimini thanks John, they definitely are, they can save a lot of time and still do a great job

[@averywright4220]

You can say that again

[@macgyverbryan1377]

They can need more detailing, however a speedy stroke.

[@graemea6710]

Did my first Restaurant window clean today. You make it look easy. 4 Hours later and I have to go back tomorrow to finish off all the internal windows. I can see there is a lot of technique that will come with practice. I will try to get my hands on the Sorbo Brand. Cheers.

[@macgyverbryan1377]

Dirty, dusty, spotty, clean, the 4 stages of clean. On insides use these stages, if the window is not one of the first three move on to one that is. That said wet scrub and squeegee all outside windows.

[@priusdwelling504]

Over 25 motions. I’ve seen old timers do a window in 4 motions. You still have a lot to learn.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

David Swanson so did you make a video yet showing us all how it’s done? actions mean a lot more then words. These are many techniques, maybe you don’t agree with all of them and that’s ok, but to not provide the way you do it and then tell others they are wrong is pretty stupid if you ask me....

[@some1smarter]

Onlookers must of been so confused. "Damn! He's cleaning that window a 10th time!"

[@jesusnlandon]

Thanks for the help SteveO!! Always a big help with your vids and your responses. I am going to purchase a wagtail and work on fanning with a pole!!

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Landon Irwin always happy to help!

[@macgyverbryan1377]

Wagtails are quality, ergonomic, and can save time.

[@janicerichardson5700]

You are the best window washer and that window has got to be perfectly clean now. ;-) By the way, love George Formby - perfect song for this video!!

[@shovelheezy]

+Janice Richardson I don't know, I don't think the song was a very good choice... It had nothing to do with the subject of the video! (Just joking of course)

[@kevinanderson7536]

I know I've seen this video before but I think I was focused on the window cleaning. This time it was the song. Lol! Where did you find it ? What a crack up!

[@MrG-hm7xs]

SteveO,Luke,and Keith have helped me out a lot thanks for the video and enjoyed the music lol keep them coming...

[@herrellswindowssolutionsll3688]

now that's one clean window....thank you for showing the different techniques

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Thank you Herrell

[@thevisuallady]

Cleanest window ever

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

Loved this and the song was a fantastic touch!

[@jahovia11]

Love watching your videos, managed to learn the technique where you rotate the squeegee round in a circle. At first I thought you were using a swivel head, then realised it was the technique involved.

[@MissChiVUs1]

Thank you Steve O! You are awesome and I love the song!

[@dutchshinewindows484]

liked the variety, I have some good ideas now. The music is perfect!

[@karljanes8183]

Hey Steve! How do you not get a smudge on the top edge on straight pulls? You don’t even wipe the top edge first? Please help

[@pristinedreamcleanwindowcl8133]

You the Goat bruh 💯

[@user-cs3cd1zv4r]

Hello!! Mr. SteveO I watched lots of helpful video. Please let me know if you have any precautions or tips to work efficiently when using a wide squeeze(ex. 90cm).

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

It takes longer to get used to a wider squeegee but Sorbo makes a great wide body squeegee windowcleaner.com/products/sorbo-complete-swivel-squeegee?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS

[@visciousadventures]

Nice. I'm finding more and more, I keep my pole on the squeegee for eye level and lower windows. Never used to do so, but it seems to be quite effective.

[@russelllowry]

Thanks for sharing, your awesome!

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Thank you

[@mobile-1lawnservicellc875]

Good video, I'm watching and learning. Keep up the good work. I like and subbed.

[@nicksresidentialservices1377]

how dont those straight pulls leave lines?

[@THEDUDE912]

Nice. Different techniques like different tools for different jobs.

[@chuckbobuck4151]

Cool song!

[@jacobdalgaard4828]

Got to love the sorbo squeegee. Nice video

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Thank you Jacob!!

[@andymartinez3332]

Love your technique

[@ccwindowcleaningllc.4706]

When I'm doing route work by myself I always use two poles and just set the mop on the window I'm about to clean, because the squeegee and mop always stick to the handle what type of pole is that where you can just take them on and off so easily?.....

[@ccwindowcleaningllc.4706]

SteveO The Window Cleaner nice thank you!

[@macgyverbryan1377]

I've been using Ettore poles since I've started in 07. A good pole will last for years, only replaced some clamps.

[@bizzarrogeorge]

great techniques! I'm new, practicing at my house with gg3 and errore channels with their stock rubber. I'm wondering if you or another commenter might help me out with lack of slip manifesting in an occasional chatter on glass. I soak scrubber, then hand ring it over bucket, flip scrubber and hand ring once more. then I scrub glass, and there is just a slight film of cleaning solution on glass, so little that it just clings to glass and really doesn't start dripping down until I begin squeegeeing. watching your video with the amount of solution you use to scrub down, I'm wondering if I'm not using enough , and perhaps that accounts for occasional chatter? should I not double hand wring the scrubber? thank you!

[@bizzarrogeorge]

ugghh, never mind! just watched another video and realized it was my squeegee technique! I've been doing it wrong. I was thinking that I wanted to press enough against glass to bend the rubber a bit, my thinking was that more rubber against glass would move more water. then when I got near the edge I would shift my hand upward out of the way of edge, release pressure that was flattening rubber, rotate onto the actual rubber top in an attempt to prepare for closing out, and then watch in horror as the rubber chatterred the last couple inches. the Unger traditional techniques training video I just watched opened my eyes to my poor technique. also, my finger placement appears to be wrong as well. wax on wax off is heavy in my future.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

+bizzarrogeorge a light touch is what you want, get sorbo brand squeegee or use brass ettore! Your angle is very important as well! It takes time to learn, check out my channel, Luke the window cleaner, and Polzn Bladz. Ungers video is great as well!' Good luck

[@supercargalaxy8233]

Great video! You always got great tune in your vids, nice work Steve O. Does the ball keep the pole from sliding all the time? That song has gotta be from the 20's the 1920's

[@sanchezlouie777]

Awesome Steveo

[@jesusnlandon]

Hi SteveO I fan the windows with the pole too like you show in this video but you have to use a lot of shoulder action, I have never used the wagtail, have you? And do you think it's better to fan the window with a wagtail? Thanks for the videos

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Yes it's better to fan with a wagtail, I hardly ever fan with the Sorbo Squeegee.

[@JBIRD575]

Great video do you go live??

[@AttonBrown]

1:50 is what I usually do, is it worth getting a wagtail?

[@trevsvlogs7364]

Dude nice!

[@horseguinness5599]

hey man, love all your video,s could you help, when I do straight pulls, I always leave wet marks at the top. unless I dry squeege with a cloth after each pull, I tried tapping on glass, I'm just not getting it, please help

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Just always take a rag and wipe the top when your done, trust me the customer ain't gonna get a ladder out and check the top of the window, when doing this technique wash multiple windows at once and you'll finish jobs quick with little effort.

[@horseguinness5599]

+Steve O cheers thanks for the reply, just started my own business, doing okay, as I'm in other employment 3 days a week, keeps the bills paid, learning alot from you, and luke, thanks I'll keep practicing

[@dementiagagorder7091]

Guys how are you closing these windows out with one swipe? What brand squeegee is that....I use an Ettore brass 20 to 22 inch with a Ledger handle. I normally cut the windows and clean by hand, I am also 6'1.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

This is a sorbo 18" and 24". With a sorbo or wide body channel it's easy to close out with these techniques, brass or stainless steel ettore channels are not easy to do this with no matter how good you are. I'm 6 2' so you can definitely do this as well with the right tools.

[@Thesupersqueegeesalida]

Is the monsoon (I'm guessing what you used in the vid) your go to washer for storefront?

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

I have almost 10 different mops I use for storefronts it's ridiculous lol the monsoon works really well though!!

[@markobertrand2804]

I love it

[@LUNALuney]

this is great 👍 👍 👍

[@KlikAndSeuss]

What's the song? Lol loved it

[@laurentyoann1517]

hello, I watch your videos for some time and I find them great! I'd like to know what product you use? what dosage? I have my window washing company in France and I would love to hear from you board please. Yoann

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Hey I use Joy soap and water. It smells nice and has great glide, I'm not sure if you can find joy in France but it does a great job

[@laurentyoann1517]

+Steve O yes in France there are no .. you learned to wash the windows all alone ? I often look at your video to improve my technique , you have to give me advice ? thank you a lot

[@jimchen7785]

Hello Steve,is Jim here from New Zealand, one very quick questions, when you do the pull down work, how come there is no streak or marks left in the middle or the side? is it because of the sorbo channel? I haven't try a sorbo channel yet, but I am looking for to get one for some of my high windows, hope I can clean windows without ladder one day, it is very painful for me sometimes even need to climb on the roof or on the very highest ladder to clean the 2nd storey house, please help me out I feel you are very very good at tall windows cleaning skill! Thanks mate wish hear back from you soon!

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Sorbo is definitely the best for straight pulls! I also use them on my ledgers for tall 2nd and 3rd floor glass, Also a water fed pole can be a huge help with tall Windows especially if you have back issues.

[@THEDUDE912]

As you go up tilt squeegee towards wet side before putting on glass to allow excess to drip or a quick tap on wet side.

[@jxcleanoutsllc8733]

This song is glorious while learning new techniques. Who sings this

[@manuelserrano1786]
