Every Sunday afternoon is the squeegee maintenance time. I do a thorough check of the squeegee rubber and replace or switch sides as required.
Since I prefer Facelift Razr Red, I easily get a week or more from each side. Then I trim it down for my smaller squeegees.
Great advice, Peter.
Great stuff bro!
Thank you once again for the advice Peter,very much appreciated,as always ,you and the rest of the guy's with window vlog's,certainly help us newbies a lot,well done to you all.
Happy to help! 😁🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great video Pete. Very useful 👍
😁🤜🏻🤛🏻
This is perfect for someone like me. Great video, something extremely practical. Great advise and good tip on cutting it down. Thankyou 👍🏼
Very welcome bro 😁🤜🏻🤛🏻
Always great tips! Thanks mate! Here in Italy our company “New Window” is benefiting from your videos! Great great job mate! Keep up filming 😉
Very welcome and thank you for watching!!
Great tips, as usual. "been in for a few days now" I am changing mine every other day, including flipping the rubber.
I ned to be less heavy handed.... :/
Great!
Hi Peter mate ,great videos as always very clear, excellent communication, which will help a lot of people, ( despite the Scottish accent lol).
I have trouble getting the edges of my rubber cut straight ,do you have any advice for a tool to do this please instead of using a pair of scissors or a Stanley knife.
I'm 25 years traditional, words fail me to express the joy, utter joy, at using the Mormon Liquidator!!
This tool is in my view ,unparalleled, and cannot be improved upon, it is Perfection.
Hey buddy thanks very much indeed!
Here's a video on some great rubber cutters...

Very good advice there Peter. Actually never entered my mind, to cut the rubber to size, after use. 👍☘
😁👍🏻👍🏻
How's you today buddy?
@@TradMan Rained off Peter, too heavy even for me! Ill have to work double speed tomorrow 😉
Hope all is well your side of the water?
@@JasonDunlop247 Aye heavy rain here to. I'm working on next week's video instead 😊😉
If I am doing a house or other job 100.00 dollars and over I flip or change the user squeegee blades. The exception is if that was done earlier that day. As for cut down blades personally there used one time then repurposed. Route and smaller jobs use the blade with accepted wear.
Hi do you not cut your rubbers at an angle on the liquidator as your vid shows square?
You can use it squared or cut at an angle, works either way 😉
How does nicks look like? And how does a damaged new rubber look like? Im from Denmark, and have ben storing my rubber in a cardboard box, and im worried that my rubber is damaged from that..
As long as the rubber is in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight it will be fine
🎶 first thing in the morning, and last thing at night
Moerman with Ettore rubber, nice
Ettore Master Pro is exactly that, it's a fine medium blade. The other I would use is Wagtail.
😁🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hi, Trad man!All I want to ask!What should I do to prevent dust from settling on Windows and glass so quickly?Could it be due to static electricity?Tell me what you think about it.Water hardness can't be controlled yet))Respect, growth, health!
If you clean windows using pure water and a wfp they will stay cleaner longer than if you clean them traditionally. Using soap and a squeegee leaves a film behind and dirt will cling to the window more than if the window was washed with wfp.
@@TradMan Thanks, what is wfp?
@@muzovoz water fed pole
Had any thoughts on the NXT-R rubber?
Yeah I'll be doing a video on it buddy.
But so far the results haven't been good unfortunately
TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER I’m disappointed to hear that. Steveo was very positive about it. Horses for courses maybe
@@qazwerspoil yeah Steve uses standard squeegees and does straight pulls when using on a pole, so he can get on better compared to a window cleaner that uses precision tools and fans the window on a pole. The window cleaner that uses precision tools needs good slip to be able to perform more advanced window cleaning techniques, unfortunately the blue rubber has way too much friction on the glass and I've found it even leaves arc lines which I've not had with Ettore, pulex or the latest green unger rubber
I find the Moerman soft rubber the best of the lot.
I used the new nxtr blue rubber yesterday, really not impressed with it. Grips the glass too much compared to moerman soft, with that annoying squeaking noise giving it away. Just know that on a hot sunny day it will be useless. Think I'll stick to moerman soft, half the price, double the quality
Stick my rubbers under my mattress works perfectly😁
Been cleaning windows for 12 years and never occurred to use the stamp to show what side is what 🤦♂️
Everyday is a learning day 😊
Glad the video was useful even to a veteran such as yourself 👍🏻
