I've been self employed window cleaner since 1981,, that's 36 years straight, my dad was a window cleaner before me. Window cleaning is a simply business, but people over complicate it. Get your round together, and look after it, treat your customers how you would like to be treated, and don't rip them of, do little jobs for free, like checking the gutters, or putting a gutter clip back in,,, it will benefit you in the long term. Be professional, print slips of to say the windows have been cleaned,, or if you are going on holiday, tell your customers. Keep it simple and you will do well

Hey, Keith went around my neighborhood after saving up for supplies I bought a small shop vac cleaning material you recommended and but everything in the trunk I took a few "NO's" but my community is pretty am big so I kept knocking, it may not sound like much but I made 300 bucks this month, not including gas and supplies but, sure dam is a result. My part time job flipping burgers gets in the way of it but I know soon i'll be able to quit.
There are many components to starting up a cleaning business. One plan I found which successfully combines these is the Enata Setup System (google it if you're interested) definately the most helpful resource that I've heard of. Check out all the amazing information.
here's several tips to consider before you begin your own cleaning business Will you have support from you family? Are you self-motivated? Will you carry out the plan? Do you have the money to start? (I read these and why they work on Enata Setup System site )
I started out by doing pamphlet drops (under front door) to businesses - mainly at night - avoiding traffic and store owners too busy with customers or just not interested. And I don't have to stand and wait to find that out! I get lots of work that way...
Started watching your videos last night and decided to give this all a shot to make some extra cash on the side. After posting my first add on craigslist less than 24 hours ago I already have 2 jobs and will be making my money back from the add and gas 10 fold. Super Stoked.
Super cool. One day in the near future we're going to collaborate Keith! I'm based in Toronto and I've been running my low-rise window cleaning company, Tiger Building Services, since June 2014. You are absolutely correct... it's a fantastic business model and if you don't adapt and try new things you will fail and feel burnt out. My father has owned a window cleaning company for 25+ years. I worked for him on and off since I was 12 years old. But after university I was trapped in that conventional mindset of needing to go and get a real job! After getting tired of the suit and tie Government Business Analyst Office Work I grabbed a squeegee and a bucket and said I want to more control of my life and to make some real money! You are an inspiration. Bit by bit I am gearing up to really start crushing it here in the Greater Toronto Area. Prior to 2016 I had never done residential window cleaning. I stand here at the end of 2016 with over 120 homes under my belt. Next year I am aiming for 400 homes! I wish you all the best bro! Keep Grinding and Happy Hunting!
Holy shit!!!! You might just be the only person who opened my eyes to this world... Ive always known I was an entrepreneur...you just made me step it up a whole LOT!!! Thank you
Before this video came out I wasn't even running or thinking about starting my own business! Keith your channel gave me the roadmap and confidence to go for it! I am proud to say we now have 3 vans and a franchisee and we are growing fast. Love the new videos but this one was the catalyst for me. Also maybe about about a year ago I got a shout out too lol. Great stuff Keith thanks for sharing everything.
7hrs of marketing and washing business to business. Over 40 rejections. and guess what? Over $60bucks complete and $180booked. Guy is spot on. Most valuable thing is mastering direct sales/closing. Interacting with your local business community in action & simply in presence.
Keith i have watched your videos forever you have encouraged me to get clean off drugs and change my life is your books avsilable in audiobook version? please keep grinding. thanks.
Keith,thanks for all you do for us newbs, I was a school custodian for 13 years so I have work ethic side down,just need a lot of help in getting customers,and yes you are right it takes more than hard work to get succeed,people buy brands not products
Hey Keith I got your book. thanks heaps man. I live in new zealand and have started my own window cleaning business about 3 months ago and have been watching all of your vids. keep up the good work.
just wanted to add something to my last message. This is crazy, my most successful approach when it comes to sales, directly relates to the part where you said that the richest customers just want to pay top dollar for the "best service" out there. after i heard this i implemented my new secret weapon, I tell my customers in the first sentence that we are one of the most expensive, as we focus primarily on quality not speed or quantity . 9 out of ten say that is exactly what they want. they prefer to pay more to ensure the best quality service possible. this has been an unbelievably lucrative sales tactic. i swear its all the littlest things that make the biggest changes thought you might find this interesting!
Keith I watch your videos from Ireland, I just want to say how unbelievably talented , humble and helpful you are, you are a credit to your country , hard working and ambitious, I own my own landscaping buisness also ,but watching your video I'm thinking strongly of setting up in the window cleaning buisness, you've planted a seed👍🏻☘
Nice delivery man! This is the first video I've watched for a total of about 20 minutes into researching this business and I'm pumped. I have three to four days off a week and my youngest just started school so I'm interested in a low cost startup to make some extra cash in my free time. Looking forward to the book.
Best of luck with the new book from the UK Keith. You have given me some of the best tips I've ever heard. Not just on running a window cleaning business but on positivity and mindset. You inspire me to do better and for all of that I thank you.
I did I ordered both your books unfortunately the kindle versions aren't available in oz. So had to pay heaps in freight. Done my first job today weeding a garden, and cutting some hedges. I got a good review. And got paid.
ordered your book off amazon along with a unger cleaner belt, gotta pick up my (old technology 1000 buisness cards tomorrow) lol but I am learning on how to market my business online as well. Ive been traditionally door knock meet n greet and gotten a surprising amount of business as well. Cant wait til the book comes in there are still some things im learning, but hey thatll happen til the day we die, 35 yrs old trynna get a small business off the ground!
hey Keith just to let you know thank you for the advice I went out Friday about some cards got a call back today from Sprint for tomorrow morning thank you for the advice I'm going to continue to watch your videos and other videos and get some more advice see if I can make some more money and buy some real tools and start a real business thank you bye
Keep up the good work educating people! I love psychology and marketing, so I understand the techniques you are using and it is all good stuff. I can tell that you really have a passion for teaching people, and not just making money off of people's insecurities. Thanks for the great advice!
Another idea to pull in work is to talk/leave quote cards to homeowners that live near new construction. Their windows get filthy and covered in dust and mud and it drives homeowners crazy. Just a thought!
I saw you were located in Michigan, and you said you started your window cleaning business in the winter. Was this the best time to start it and how did you get around issues like water freezing? Iam interested in doing the same. If you already addressed it forgive me because iam new to the channel.
Man.. My dream bro.. Im in Spokane, Washington.. 2nd biggest city in the state.. home of Gonzaga. I cant wait to get your book! Gotta make the money first.. But it should be quick.. U gave me the knowledge and confidencre to get started here.. Thank you bro.. Good luck to you.. Im comin dor the book soon. U need to cut to the chase in ir video on how to order it tho.. Not everyone is as patient as me!'
I have really been enjoying your videos and advice. Just getting my window cleaning business off the ground. Just ordered your book. Thank you for your time and advice!

What's up brother love your videos and need some advice. I have some money and want to start my landscaping business, I don't know much about it but know some and am very eager to learn. What do you think my first step should be?
Hi Haroon, you need to have the basics of lawncare. Mower, weed trimmer, rakes, customer service skills and dress professional. You will need a truck to haul around your equipment. Look for RUclips videos on "How to start a lawn care business". You can do it Haroon!
I want to do this. I am currently the lead subcontractor for a local company in my area. I was wondering if it would be possible to do this through my company given I have permission from owner and how do I go about talking him into it. We are small but we have four schools and some big factories we mow so I wouldn't say we are really small scale.
Uk window cleaning is different but a lot of similar stuff. Would love to make a uk version of your book. Interest? Good stuff Keith Good days and bad days equal great days to come 👍🏽
Hi Keith this is Art at B&B window cleaning, I'm currently not working nor have I ever worked in the winter days. My question would be if I'm not cleaning windows, what is another service I can offer to my clients? This year we got a lot of snow but I didn't offer snow removal I thought of that being one but I think I can do more. I would appreciate your tips and advice. Thanks Keith.
+B&B window cleaning Again.. Tons of windows to clean in the winter at storefronts But another service would be, interior cleaning, house cleaning, refinishing hardwood floors, cleaning awnings at retaurants and shopping malls, auto detailing.
There's far too much competition in England for window cleaners some only charge £5 for a 2 bedroom house with 7 windows in it i just can't compete with that and that's why I'll only do window cleaning part time as I don't rely on it I'd have to do 50 houses a day to earn £500 a day which is impossible. I think Keith needs to pop over this side of the pond to find out how bad it really is and how little we have to charge just to get customers and I'll give you an example of how hard it is a friend of mine started his own window cleaning business a few years ago he printed business cards, leaflets had a website and advertised on all social media platforms he worked every hour of daylight to make a success of it he charged a fair price and managed to branch out into the upper class areas with 5/6 bedroom mansions which he got through recommendations he priced one big job which was to clean facia/soffit windows, doors both glass and frames for £60 which they agreed to then when he'd finished they said " sorry I'm only prepared to pay £10" anyway cut a long story short he lost virtually all customers to benefit scrounging scruffs who charged £6 and eventually his business folded and he ended up working for minimum wage as he couldn't compete with such low prices
here's several things to consider before you begin a cleaning company are you likely to get support from you family? Are you self-motivated? Will you carry out the plan? Do you have the money to start? (I discovered these and why they work on Enata Setup System website )
Hi Keith, I have started cleaning windows and read your book. Here is my stupid question: What is the best way to actually clean the windows? There are so many videos, it's confusing. In the book, you said to go to the Blueprint, but that just asked me for my email address. I just am not confident in how I am cleaning them! They are squeaking, it's taking me forever, etc. I know it's really lame, but what should I do?
hey keith.. i like all your videos and i am from australia and i wana know that to do window cleaning do i have to register a company of window cleaning or i can start by my own...? thanks in advance
Keith....How do you remove stickers from windows on New Construction homes? these windows have a special tint and customer does not want them scratched with razor blades. Thanks
Hey Keith, I am thinking of starting a window cleaning business and was wondering if winter would be a good time to start. I am thinking yes because not many other people would want to clean windows in the winter so maybe I would not have much competition. Let me know your thoughts. thanks for the motivation.
Do you have any advice for a very talented professional window cleaner who is still an employee to a window cleaning company? How can I make the most money being a top employee?
Hey, watched a few of your videos great advice!!! You should definitely get a Amazon account and link tools during tool reviews. people are making great passive income.
Might seem light a stupid question, but do you clean the interior part of windows, if they don't have a screen, for commercial businesses (strip malls, etc.)? What about for residential?
Hi Keith! If I go to a small business or a store that has dirty windows, is it nirmal to just clean them from the outside or do you clean them from the inside as well?
Hey Keith, I just came across your channel, I am not really part of your target market but I do love your marketing skills my friend! Great video I just subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Hey keith. I have a question for you .. so I've been door to door business to business the last 6 months and cant seem to land a single client. They all have a window washer already. What should I do. Getting discouraged
What always helps is having one more person with you. You can say this is ______ I’m training him today we just cleaned the windows of a business in the area and we were going around seeing if anyone in the area would like there windows done at a discount sense we are in the area. Here’s my card. Would you like to take advantage of the discount?
i need to print up a invoice for legal and liability purpose anyone know how to go about that i gt all my tool now and ro system wag tails, ninjas you name just need to get my fit wet I'm scared this is my first businesses venture ...please help with any info
I like and appreciate the info you give so freely. My wife and I watch a bunch of your video. We are looking to start very soon. Just tying up some loose ends. I have all my tools, and have a big lead with a property rental business. With all due respect, I have just one favor, can you tone down the profanity please? Thank you.
i have a question Keith. so if you just started like I'm hungry i just want to start now. i need to know what should i put on my bussiness card since i don't have a website right now. can you please help should i just put a email and phone number for now? please and thank you!
Is a turn-key, $2k per month, one man operated window cleaning business a good buy at $30k? It comes with a van. I have two adult sons who are interested.

+John pads Winter is BEST Because there's plenty of salt on the windows to clean. Yes.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
Question, how do you deal with the typical no solicitation? Is this where the marketing and boards comes in handy?
Keith, Thank you so much for all the information i appreciate it to the fullest
For sure man.
Will big box retailers like say H&M say yes even though it's corporate only the Manager is there can that manager make decisions?
Great video yet again Keith. Keep em coming buddy......
Do you have any advice for a very talented professional window cleaner who is still an employee to a window cleaning company? How can I make the most money being a top employee?
+Timmy Williams become the "guardian of the black box" look it up.

Hey, watched a few of your videos great advice!!! You should definitely get a Amazon account and link tools during tool reviews. people are making great passive income.
Might seem light a stupid question, but do you clean the interior part of windows, if they don't have a screen, for commercial businesses (strip malls, etc.)? What about for residential?
+579Jacob yep. Always. But they get charged.
Its not free. Its communicated

Do I need insurance or to be a LLC before I start?
I went years without Liability Insurance but if you can afford it then get it! Why LLC and not Sole Proprietor which is easier starting out?
