      Get the pre-detail down and it will save you hours of time on the job.

    très bonne vidéo, l'angle de la raclette est important 45° ainsi que l'inclinaison du caoutchouc pour un effet ventouse ,le pré détail fait moins de lignes j'ai l'impression et permet d'utiliser tous types d'outils!!merci pour la vidéo!!😍😍

    I've just been asked to clean the windows at work (I'm the cleaner there, not really my area of expertise!) and I'm finding the water at the top seal a right pain. The windows are rather tall so I have to use a pole. Will have to try the pre detail, of course will have to put the rag on the pole but I hope it helps. Also good to learn about the angle of the squeegee, I kept getting the wet line after the slide, rather annoying 😂

    • @Darren-Green
      @Darren-Green  Před 3 lety

      You are 100% right Jenny - add a rag on the pole for a pre detail and it (with a little practice) will be good

  • @completeexteriorcleaningse750

    Hi Darren great video I'm in new window cleaner about 6 months I've had a few issues with black coming off the seals on the frames got into a bit of a mess with a couple any chance you could do a video explaining how to stop that or what we can do to clean and better I suppose the obvious answer is don't touch the Seals but thanks mate keep up the good work POV video looks great by the way.
    Thanks Lee from old school window cleaners

    Great channel! Tap water or de-ionised? And can you recommend an applicator?

  • @typerightseesight
    @typerightseesight Před 3 lety +1

    duno about saturating the whole frame in soap I'd want to hose it off after and then come back another day to do the windows.

    • @Darren-Green
      @Darren-Green  Před 3 lety +2

      You do what works for you Nelson. This is what's worked for me for more on countless occasions so it's what we stick to.

  • @barryrutter5936
    @barryrutter5936 Před 4 lety +1

    Good bit of info there I use unger ninja squeegees which are brilliant
    Even tho their zero detail tools would you recommend detailing the glass with a microfibre cloth before doing the main clean

    • @Darren-Green
      @Darren-Green  Před 4 lety +2

      Yes because zero detailing is nonsense, if you hit the rubber seal with an applicator and dont detail you will get runs

    How much should you charge to wash a window?

    • @Darren-Green
      @Darren-Green  Před rokem +2

      It's not really per window as many are different sizes. I look at how long to do the whole house then divide by 60. I aim at £1 per min whilst on the job.

    can you use pure water on a brush ?

    • @Darren-Green
      @Darren-Green  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes it's called WFP 'water fed pole' we use extensively. This is just a tutorial on how to do it with squeegee and applicator

    • @Darren-Green
      @Darren-Green  Před 3 lety

      My preference for squeegees is the Unger S Plus models.

      Either a harris pole or tell the client no

    the 11 thumbs down..... are people who dont like window washing, or men who think all pro window cleaners get the XXX treatment after cleaning. hahahaha

  • @franshendrix1404
    @franshendrix1404 Před 4 lety

    Question: would it matter much to instead of going straight down to go down with the squeegee following the water line left by the bottom part and run up again along side it? So in fact making more of a mountain. It's the way I do it normally or find it easier to turn. Am a tack affraid I might leave the blade too straight and get the top marks all the time.
    I hope you get what I mean, hard to explain typing.

    I', surprised you are using a soapy solution instead of a window cleaner, unless you are using a sudsy window cleaning product. I have never found a sudsy window cleanser in the stores that I shop. What are you using?
