Youre a good man Mike, thanks for the video! The worry about "messing something up" has paralyzed me at times with even getting started in the business but videos like this are a priceless resource that there is a solution to just about everything, in case you do mess up. Thanks!
Wow I never thought about the reflection off of a neighboring house. Priceless insight and observation thank you for that! You definitely provide good customer service. In this case here I would’ve definitely done the same thing you did and went back. I agree with pretty much everything said here, you can never make windows perfect but I think we always owe the customer a proper rinse. Very proper work here Mike you operate your business with integrity and that’s why you’re a winner. Thanks for the shout out. I didn’t expect that and I haven’t posted in a while but I’m actually uploading a video now while watching yours. Have a great weekend and god bless!
I watched your rinse aid video from the other day and low and behold I had my 1st call back for spots on windows today. I put a small amount of rinse aid in a spray bottle as they were all 1st floor windows and it worked great. Thank you for the tip!
I mixed 2.5Gal of 12.5% Bleach with a half bottle of rinse aid and filled the rest with water. I downstream let it sit for a couple of minutes and rinsed. Windows came out spotless. I was trying to cut down time on applying bleach, rinse and come back with rinse aid and rinse. Well it worked and saved some time.
So if I'm doing a house wash and was worried about spots..... would I wash>rinse aid>rinse -or- wash>rinse>rinse aid? If using a 5g bucket with water, how much rinse aid per 5g bucket do you reckon?
Great questions. Wash, rinse, rinse aid, rinse. I don’t have a formula. But I can tell you this, when you put it in your dishwasher, you only use an ounce or so.
I luv your attitude! Wish u was closer and I could do a ride along I'm in Canton ohio & just started up a pressure washing business I'd like to see how you start to finish jobs in person , I'm starting to realize I wasn't taught by the best out there & have been told many things that ain't true or ½ truths
If you use rinse aid that is mostly water it seems like a rinse after would be redundant? I have sprayed vinegar on glass that was hazy and walked away with clean windows. Thoughts?
ive been using rinse aid while house washing in the water tank some. Also using xjet to wash house i add some window soap like GG4 and ive gone as far as making pure water in my 5gallon jug of SH and soap and it seems to help the glass. I do window cleaning but a lot of people dont want to pay. I will waterfed pole after otherwise.
@@TheFreshRinse EBC makes a EBC glide window soap. They claim 1oz per gallon of your SH house wash mix will leave windows spotless too. GG4 is about same. But adding that to my house wash mix seems to help.
I’ve been checking out a lot of your videos lately. Wondering if you are still running the predator 670? If so curious about your setup and the equipment you are using? Gun, Tips, Hose diameter? Thanks Mike keep killin it
Mike I think I’ve got a problem. I spend all day washing myself then come home just to watch your videos 😂. Keep up the good work the wrinkled vinyl is cool to know!
point on with the rinsing. also when people ask if i wash windows i say nope but i will rinse the windows and screens to remove the dirt as much as i can
When dealing with haze or suspicious you may wind up with haze, I have always been satisfied with using agent halt. Apply it, wait a minute and do a quick rinse.
Prime point behind my "no way you can do that many houses in a day comment". Though it may be more of hard water stains, no where in ohio has soft water. Everywhere in ohio has super hard water. Our contract states we are not responsible for hard water stains from the customers water source. We do let them know we go over the windows during the wash but they will not get spot free results. We offer window cleaning (exterior only, screens must be removed prior to our arrival) for $100.00 extra on top of a $395+ house wash. We use a spot free system hooked to a 12v pump OH and lose the grey sutner gun and get you the purple with the anti fatigue trigger.
@@TheFreshRinse If those windows we’re not hazy when you started. Then it’s obvious that it’s something that you caused. Then you must absolutely go back and make it right. You can’t possibly leave a job in worse condition than the way it was. Mr. Science wouldn’t be doing anymore work for me.
Do you ever let someone thinking of getting into the business ride along with you and get a feel for it it? I’m thinking about doing it but not sure if it’s something I can do. Ty
Hey Brian, thank you for asking. I choose to not do ride-a-longs for two reasons. 1. My insurance may not cover you if there is an accident. 2. I get lots of guys asking me. I wouldn’t feel right saying yes to Salome and no to others. So, I just say no to everyone. No offense to you my friend.
Mike I would’ve made me a bucket with some dawn and rinse aid and went over the windows with the brush and then rinsed with the 12v. But it seems like you fixed the issue…
Owning my mistakes… I have a friend/realtor who gives me a lot of work. She asked about washing a roof. I measured. She didn’t ask for an estimate up front. Just do the job. I washed what I saw in the text message. I washed the front half of the roof. Something didn’t sit right with me. I read her original message this morning. Oops! She didn’t want the front half washed. She only wanted a section of the front half washed. I text back and explained what happened. I told her I would refund the money for the area washed that she did not request. I can sleep better at night knowing I made it right vs appearing to just be charging her for something she never requested. When I sent the invoice she asked why it was so expensive. Turns out I misunderstood her original text. So she got the front half of the roof washed for super cheap. And she was very happy that I made it right.
Thank you brother. We call that “Stupid tax”. We all pay it from time to time. I recently washed the wrong patio at a home. He called me out on it. After re-reading the text, he was right. Oops.
I normally have a pole and a scrubber to wipe down the windows to remove the soap. I hate call back. Happy customer is a repeat customer. Thats just me.
I agree the sh makes it stick to the window. Unless you have ebc window glide, which I will buy if I ever have another problem with sh aftermarks. No surfactant and weakest mix possible + heavy rinse has been working great for me. 🤞
So are we to assume he just houses his grill inside and takes it out for use. Or he moved inside as he knew you were coming to clean?.......is he obsessed with his grill or are we obsessed more with the puzzle lol
@@joeschmitz2790 I build it into every quote. started as a window cleaning business and then expanded into housewashing, so I guess It just seemed natural to keep doing the windows
Iv tried a lot of different soaps I loved the smell of eliminator but always left the windows horrible. I use Snotmonade from Russ. It makes a huge difference. Iv actually been in homes where I’ve used different soaps and Snotmonade always looks better. Try it when it’s hot I always pre rinse the windows first

In a separate bucket. A few ounces per 5 gallon bucket

What unloader are you using here? Tired of mine kicking back so much and killing my wrist
I’m using a pressure trapped unloader, like you. You may have the pressure too high
I have also figured out that the 1.8 gives me cloudy windows after a wash. When I use the 2.1 on my 5.5, the windows are always spotless
I’m glad I’m not making assumptions. Thank you.

Quick quick question, are you using the 10g p.m. to rinse with, cuz it seems like you're shooting laser beams.
Yes. 10
How much for some signs exactly like in the thumbnail?
$535 for 100 (with stakes).
Less if you let me keep my phone number on the. LOL
It always looks better wet❤
Do you ever cover the doors with painters plastic? I've had water intrusion once so I'm always concerned about that now.
Only if it looks sketchy or if it’s a solid wood door with stain.
