I like to pressure wash tracks from the inside of the house....
Big Squeege' me too that’s my go to but I do it from the outside with the windows open.
@@SqueegeeLife that sounds like a much better idea!
I just take out the whole window including the frame, take them outside power wash them in the driveway...wait for them to dry...then reinstall the windows 😂😂😉

SteveO we are going to need a tutorial
Pause! 00:40
Tracks are never included people. Steve-O is right it will take you two to three times as long as even four times as long as the window. Plus you're dealing with mold and all kinds of nastiness. If you're charging $4 for the window you make sure your charging at least 8 to 10 for the tracks.
Is that $4 in and out or just outside?
Great point...and I would say in Colorado we don’t deal with half of the stuff as some may experience in more humid climates.
Well.. I have just cleaned a 2 story house and charged the owner for tracks too. She was impressed and wanted me to clean it every year. I gave her my estimate for 12 month cleaning which is 20% cheaper as she is my regular client now. I also explained her that next time I will be just checking the tracks and will clean them if needed. It worked both ways. The tracks never being cleaned for years!!! So, there is no need to clean them every 12 months. Also, I will greatly cut down on my cleaning time making more money :-)
I realize this video is 5 years old, but I think it’s so solid that You are willing to share the game with newbies like me. Sure appreciate it man. 🙏🏼💪🏼
The corners a can of pressurized air works great.
I do a basic wipe on a regular window cleaning. Deep cleaning on window tracks is an extra charge. I use the red track brush like you showed or a small libman brush and a rigid cordless shop vac. Great video bro. Keep grinding
T Squeegee thank you Buddy!! Embrace the suck and keep on truckin!!
I got the cordless ridgid myself, life changer and saver!
I'm 2 and 1/2 minutes and Steve-O in this videos on point my friend. It said it before but I've been doing this for a long time and I'm still learning so much by watching you guys.
Great video, what is your favorite tool for removing screens? I have found that a honey bee hive tool works very well on very difficult window screen..It so much stronger than most prying tools.
Craig putty knife, the stiff one
Best tool to remove screen, paint can opener, bottom line 🤓
Nice video 👍 we use a brush from the dollar store and the Makita handheld battery powered vacuum. Works great for us!
Josh Dicus I definitely want to get a battery powered but I know the day I have to use it the battery won’t be charged and I’ll be pissed lol
Josh Dicus I also use a handheld vac, the ryobi. How many houses can you do out of one charge? I typically get one big house or two smaller before having to charge it. I was thinking of getting the model you have or just getting an inverted for the cab of my truck to keep mine charging. Thx
Express Mobile Services llc. I would say the battery lasts for at least two large houses. We’ve never had issues with the battery life. I like to keep an extra battery on my van for a backup.
Hi Steve best method I use a plastic long chopstick on a damp cloth then use a dry cloth , then finished cleaning with a slightly damp cloth..😀👍
I did a 300 dollar window job but it had storm windows and tracks.. 655 dollars.. took 2 of us 4.5 hours. friday. first of 3 jobs for the day. lol. ended with a 45 foot gutter job lol. wtf
And q tips if want perfect
Very true customers think the the price for windows includes trucks be careful explain that every single time!!!! I charge about 10$ dollars per track and I'll bring an employee just for that they take so long to do it right ✅
Some good advice, the third detailing brush is best. For stuck screens vacuum. Tracks for me are simple.
1.clean outside what can't be seen from the inside.
2. Open the window after cleaning the inside, small detail brush agitate, sweep out dirt. Solution, muck towel, wipe again.
Tooth brush
Also, that "a special window track brush " is a bit week. I have to use the once you showed first before I use that one. It is a kind of redundancy to me.
My residential accounts almost stopped as we are getting rains in Dallas, TX area practically every other day! Not to mention thunderstorms!!!
Great Video, Steve-O! I have another Residential this week...2 story Colonial. Man, the tracks and sills look horrible! definitely charging up for this job! Thanks for the info!
Great! Just charge what ever it's reasonable for it, consider ad add-on service, customers will appreciate so, mist our residential customers we do get them cause we do clean tracks and screen 🤔🤓
Awesome! I do my tracks pretty much the same way. However, there some differences.
I clean them from outside first and then, when I am inside, I clean the other side from inside. I see now it is inconvenient. I think I will go inside first and clean them first. I mean the entire track should be done first before cleaning anything else.
Vacuum is a great idea. I tried cans with compressed air, but it was messy. I considered vacuum before but it seemed to me kind of bulky and expensive way. Thanks Steve, I see it works great! Also, quite often (more likely in old aluminium frames) there is a narrow gap on the bottom of the bottom sash and it is extremely difficult to clean. I just run my screwdriver to destroy any wasp nests there and that's it. And, yes! It takes more time than cleaning just window glass!
One more thing. In the corners of the aluminium frame, quite often, I find silicone insulation. I used to vigorously cleaned around them, but stopped doing it, as I realized that it can just destroy the seal and let moisture get into the house. I just do my best and explained the owner it.
Pricing. Agree 100%! I usually give them estimate for a regular maintenance cleaning and for full deep cleaning and explain the difference.
Yeah buddy thats what vacuum I use . Its definitely a game changing
Great pointers!! I bought a detail attachment kit for my shop vac that did the job, but the bristles weren't stiff enough so by the end of the job they were all smashed and junk!!
Dude love your channel, you relax me.❤️❤️
Great video, I have just been saying no for these but maybe I will start.
Question.
Oakley sunglasses, can you work in them whilst your cleaning windows and still see all mistakes and fingers prints etc.
Andy James oh yea!! I love these glasses!! I never take them off during the day even inside lol
It’s better to use those bristle brushes or wire brushes?
Video is on point. We typically do a quick sweep with a track brush (The red brush lasts longer than the black brush) not sure what our competitors do! I have only had 3 customers in 8 years that wanted deep cleaning to there tracks after they here the cost involved they are happy with our featured service.
Hutch R thank you, I like selling the deep clean but sometimes it can get tedious, to me the key tool is the vacuum
Steeeevveo! What up tho! Good info video as always, nice Oakleys my friend hope you're having a great season!
I use chip brush. I buy em in a ten pack at Home Depot. They're made from hogs hair so they wear down, unlike paint brushes that get all frayed because they're synthetic. They work great for getting in corners and tight spots. Been using em for the last 15 years. I also use a Hoover backpack vacuum. Kinda pricey but well worth it. I used a stinger for years and got sick of holding it between my legs for taller windows. Lastly, I use my old edge towels for tough grime. Get a little soap and water on it and use it with a flathead screwdriver where needed. We fly through tracks using these tools and methods
I use a tack puller tool. It works well with both popping off screens and cleaning tracks. When cleaning tracks with it I wrap a damp rag around it. You can get into corners easily with it.
Daniel Mann great tip!!
Use a LEDGER!
Cool kid alert!!!🔔

Hey Steve O do you clean Chandeliers?
Josh Carroll I’ve cleaned small ones but nothing crazy, we don’t offer it as a service
All that and have a pack of Q-tips for the corners
new level graphics david Frame great tip!!
I use a Tornador Black
thadhoward link?
Thanks Steve! Just went out and bought me a stinger.
John R Cimini when I first got it I thought it was going to suck but overall I was impressed especially because of the price
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner Seems to have good suction and the HD price was 34.97 before tax. Everyone else was higher. I think I might add a crevice tool. Thanks again!
