Tips On How To Be A Faster Window Cleaner

[@funsimulator7246]

For dirty windows I have a bucket of water/soap, a wagtail high flyer in my right hand and a bronze wool/white scrubber in my left. Soap it up, scrub it and then flip the wagtail over and squeegee off. Maybe do 3 more then detail if needed. Flows nicely unless I need to get the razor out.

[@laurenceoflaherty4787]

Great Video SteveO

[@SunshinewindowsAu]

On point i find i just use my 14" 90% of the time. Work flows a massive time saver!

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Sunshine Windows yea for me my 18” is what I try to use for everything on commercial and my 14” for residential

[@SunshinewindowsAu]

@@SteveOthewindowcleaner yeah i was the same but my 22" sorbo its really the rubber blade side that i just use the one 14" liquidator squeegee, i find my 18"liquidator rubber blade has a tendency to bunch up or streach out in the wagtail (i am using blackdiamond t rubber soft in it possibly why) where as the 14" consistently works flawlessly. The sorbo needs clips i haven't actually been doing enough work to use 2 different rubber sizes and be swapping out between the two so its easy to just slide in and out of liquidator in wagtail with being a stay at home dad bar 1 day a week... now im working 4 days the 22" been back out at commercials

I have been cleaning all kinds of windows for more than 15 years and in this video if they are the correct techniques. Like the mojito under the strip. Yes sir, nothing is stained.

[@mannyamenta5566]

After using the squeegee, I was always worried about leaving the water on the edge of the window, that it would drip down, so I will detail after I clean each window. I’m gonna try this method of waiting till the end to detail to be more efficient, thanks👍

[@BrettP9898]

Awesome man!

[@leepoole9463]

Your the best Steveo

[@BrettP9898]

Great stuff man!

Brett A. Pisano thank you!!

[@madds2194]

Some good time saving tips. Thank you. 👍

[@alanbrown3286]

Great video!!!

[@sivram435]

How many hours do you work a day and do you have an off season? Also great video. I'm glad I'm on the right path. Sometimes I wonder if what I'm doing is efficient. Thanks for the video.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Sivram Hiyall no off season, about 8 hours a day as average, work about 10-15 weekends a year as well but I try to keep it to M-F

[@nogovannut9386]

Thanks for this!

[@grantlalala]

Couldn’t agree more about carrying less stuff. I use a 16” squeegee all day on residential work. It’s fits 99% of the windows, absolutely no need to change squeegee from one window to the next.

[@1emmanuelondrick]

Thanks

[@windowcleaner]

No problem

[@vincentriegler2551]

I noticed over time if you measure or make odd sizes of my Squeegee's a set Instead of using a trusty 18 inch In the window is 19 and a quarter inches why do two swipes at it just make it squeegee to fit the window one pull straight down you're done or 1. Straight across and you're done I believe in my 32 years of cleaning windows Less moves on Cleaning glass panes 🤟

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Vince Riegler I love when a window is a perfect for an 18” Channel, makes it so easy for just one pull, I wish all windows were the same size but then the world would be boring 😉

[@macgyverbryan1377]

22" channel can be cut down easy. I find using an 18,12, and 6 are good sizes, then a 36" blade is cut with little waste. Using the best techniques for the situation is crucial.

[@paulbissanti4319]

Absolutely, Stay natural!!!

[@brandonevans174]

Great tips. Where did you get that short pole?

[@macgyverbryan1377]

WCR may have them. Shorties poles can be made, I have two. One is my " house handle", the other is my "route handle". check out my "is it trash?" Video on them.

[@macgyverbryan1377]

I mostly work at a steady pace, my tools and technique are quick. I mostly have 3 squeegees in my hip bucket, 18, 12, and 6 inch Wagtails. Sometimes 2 precision glides 18,12. A big change from the 36, 24, and 18 thick Ettore I used to use ( backup status).

[@macgyverbryan1377]

With commition the daily amount is the same, timed to do in a work day. There are times I'll expedite the day, mostly work efficient. Fast can need to be done twice, efficient once done timely.

[@chadskretvedt8999]

I agree with Douglas. It is always a problem doing straight pulls even if you pull more quickly and leading edge down. It generally pulls water from the top edge of the frame and leaves a line. Sometimes I can cut in the top or dry the blade before the second pull. Don't know how you can do it on second story windows and your Excelerator which is my personal favorite. What am I missing?

[@jakevonstein8683]

great tips, wish i would've seen this 5 years ago when i started cleaning windows lol..

[@miketheglassguy7568]

Right on 🤙

[@mikeronee]

Would you be able to make a video on dealing with hot glass?

[@BlackPhoenix90]

How do you avoid lines when you do straight pulls like that with the pole?

[@aaronchapman4858]

keep your leading edge down.... or i have found if you are super quick and you pull flatt... it doesnt leave a line

[@SunshinewindowsAu]

@@aaronchapman4858 Aaron!! 👍👨‍🚒🤙 a sharp clean blade helps too

[@stephensparks9350]

Leading edge always forward/down

[@smartwindowcleaning987]

How’s you elbow holding up?

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Smart Window Cleaning it’s doing good, I get some tennis elbow when it gets really busy but I try to also get in the gym 3-4 times a week which I think helps everything working pretty good

[@expressmobileservicesllc.480]

SteveO The Window Cleaner dude! I have a heating pad on my tennis elbow right now! Just when I think it’s getting better, I have to clean a crap load of windows again. If you have any good tips on healing tennis elbow, I’m all ears!

[@LukeTheWindowCleaner]

Great advice steve o

Luke The Window Cleaner thanks buddy

[@rahmanrucker4408]
