      What about the boarders of the windows? When a window hasn't been cleaned in ages, there is all sorts of gunk caked on there. Is there a method you use? Or just scrub it with the strip washer?

    • @AndersFishing
      @AndersFishing  7 лет назад +5

      Scrub hard and if not coming off something like Spray 9 may help if the window frames are vinyl. If you are going to use that test a small area first to make sure it will not stain or damage but in almost all cases it is safe.

    If you want to be extra careful, push the window scrapper in one direction only to avoid drawing back any debris that could scratch the window. Never use a metal putty knife on a window; use it for window screen detachment. Use a plastic putty knife instead for other stuck stuff on glass.

  • @kelv1969

    I saw a window cleaner today. I was stunned. He only used one hand to operate both squeegee and mop at the same time. He was up the ladder, cleaned a large window, using a zigzag motion, wiped the ledge with his cloth, and was down again in less than 10 seconds. I kid you not. I went up to take a look at the window and it was spotless and shiny. No dribbles or streaks or marks from the rubber in sight. The guy was window ninja.

    @Refflog 3 года назад

    We are English window cleaners and we do it differently and 10 times quicker. We would never use a mangy old towel we use micro fibre cloths. What the hell is the putty knife used for. We also would never just go up and down or side to side, that’s what a beginner would do. We go in all different directions never taking the rubber blade of the glass until the whole window is finished. But all that was back in the day. We mostly use the water fed pole with hot water coming out and you could clean that entire window, frame, and sill in 30 seconds. But I have heard that in the states you charge an absolute fortune to clean windows over here everyone has them done once every 28 days. Anyway best of luck in the future.

    1. Whisk the window: Use your wet towel and wipe off cobwebs off of the frame and the outside of the window.
    2. Scrub the window: Use strip washer and see if there is anything that needs extra scrubbing. Scrub off extra debris with the end of the strip washer. You may use the paint scraper as needed but only use it if the window is wet. Make sure to close your scraper and put it away. 3. Wash the wi dow: Wash the window by starting with the borders and corners. Then wash the center.
    4. Wipe the window:
    5. Squeegie the window:
    6. Dry the window: clean up dribbles:
    7. Final examination:

      No you dont want to put your wet squeegee on your dry towel, you want your dry towel completely dry.

I usually wet the window then tap my squeegee on the glass to knock off any debris caught on the squeegee.
