    Most of the “cut-ups” I clean require more than a simple mopping. I devised a trick where I squirt the top of each pane with a little water from my soap bottle, then scrub each with my white pad. Super quick and covers all the bases👍🏼(since I started doing it, I don’t even use small mops anymore. That way you can carry your big mop for the large panes you’re cleaning at the same time.)

    Thank you! I just started cleaning windows on the side. I just did a bunch of french windows and have another coming up. I will practice the fanning method home first. the job that I just finished I did side pulls, about three with my 8" squeegee, and I had a bit of a problem with streaks just as you said

    Some fine way for dredded cut ups. A technique for using Wagtail and Moerman (Pivot On Command) for cut ups, a hybrid fan straight pull. Cut up the side , slide over, and flip to the top and pull down. This will leave some water at the end pull. It is a good way for taller high panes also.

    Hi Steve nice vid, what I personally do for French door windows..
    I carry a spare squeegie channel and cut it down to fit the frame either horizontal or vertical. I find I have less chance of leaving squeegie marks on the glass with one downward or a across pass. Then just detail tops, sides and bottom of the frame.
    Keep up good work Steve 👌

  • @ScottWConvid19

    Cut ups, mulliens, French windows, were something I absolutely despised when I began cleaning windows. When I worked for another company, I actually walked off a job that had over 1000 of them. Then I worked out a technique that makes them go quickly and they come out beautifully. I like to do them in direct sunlight, so nothing is overlooked. I've learned to have more patience and enjoy doing them now. 👍

      I use a natural sponge wrung out just enough to keep it from dripping while scrubbing the panes. I recommend starting with 2 or 3 at a time until you get into the rhythm. With a towel in one hand, I make a vertical dry line with the tip of my squeegee and then plant the dry squeegee into the dry line to squeegee the water horizontally. I either use one squeegee that is the same size as the pane or one that's a little more than half the height of the pane and do two swipes, drying the squeegee rubber after each run. I almost always detail the edges. Sometimes there's no water lines... that just depends on the frame trim. It is tedious, but it works great for me and quicker than any other technique I've seen. I hope that helps

    Showing various techniques is good. Fanning is the better way, less solution is best. I made a 6 inch Wagtail PC with cut Moerman channel pad over squeegee for cutups and skinny panes ( named Half Pint). It's works well with poling skinny panes also.

    Would it be easier to give them a quick wipe with a damp silver-infused Norwex cloth, and dry/polish with the Norwex glass cloth?
    I've used them for a quick smudge removal on glass doors of a local restaurant- works great

    I use a 3m pad instead of a mop, I buy the big white pads and on a job just cut a fresh one the size of the glass bit a bit smaller. I find it a little neater for application

    Hi Steve just wondered what do you do when the soap dryers around the edge I live in the uk but with the weather heating up its getting harder to detail without leaving a slite grey looking smear around the edge less soap helps but I cant stop the problem all together unless I use a damp microfiber witch kind off acts like a shammy leather any tip on how you get around this?

    • @SteveOthewindowcleaner
      @SteveOthewindowcleaner  4 года назад

      Jamie Foster I think it’s best to mop a pane squeegee, mop a pane squeegee and so on, when soap up the whole door especially outside, the possibility of it drying is high
