  • Cleaning all by my lonesome. Reanna and I have been splitting up for weeks now to get all of our work completed. Today I take you with me on a commercial property that we clean a few times a year. I talk about hiring new employees, water fed vs traditional window cleaning and actually clean a few windows too.

    Totally agree. Window cleaning like it or not people, it's a trade, a skilled trade! Starting of any job you have to be an apprentice! To understand the tools, why they are used for, buy it's also mind strength and passion for what you do, you can then succeed at anything! 👍

    I am window cleaner and CZcamsr in Japan.
    Probably, I watched all the videos, and I think of you as a master, arbitrarily.
    I'm very sorry, but I have a question.
    Would you tell me about the types and lengths of squeegee channels and handles that you usually use in the field, recently?
    I would like to use it as a reference.
    Best regards.

    Two vids in and I'm enjoying your channel. Really interested to know more about the water fed systems. I cleaned windows for a couple of years with/for a friend in Waco. I'm Houston, Texas and the panes are a callin. I'm going to continue watching. Its apparent to me that you take your work seriously and have much to offer one such as myself. I would also be interested to know were you do your ordering from. In the past I've purchased materials from a company out in California. I just wonder if I'm getting the best deal. The water fed systerms look easier than I thought they might be to use. I'm also wondering how durable they are. Is there alot of upkeep maintenance. Thanks again. Merry Christmas.

Can’t I just leave the garden hose connected to it so I can just put other end on the house spigot and the. Use the other 100’3/8 hose connected to the exit part of the tank so that I can just pull out the brush let the water flush for a few minutes and get after it? Thank you.

    A window cleaner friend of mine had a couple of employees; They learned his routes/clients and then stole a bunch of them by undercutting his prices. Customers liked that they could get the windows cleaned cheaper (the owner's profit had been shaved off the price....the 2 guys were still making a little more money because they were being paid hourly previously, but now they were being paid per job) - kinda sucks but I know a lot of guys who start working for others and once they learn the skill, they just set out on their own

    Hey Luke I have a couple of questions. First off, how much pressure are you applying to the wfp with the forward arm? I find myself applying a great deal of pressure and by the time I know it my arms want to fall off my body. Second, why are you using a small brush for those huge panes? I have not seen anybody on CZcams use the 18" brushes. Thank you.
