The best part of this was seeing that even top tier pros still make mistakes if they're rushing (or for whatever reason).
2 years in the game and been using this technique since I came across your channel 1.5y ago. Saved me alot of time and €! Thank you for sharing your craft/skill! Greetings from Belgium!
I’d like to see a video about fanning on a pole. Talk about the handle and angle you use. You’re one of the best in the business using a pole.
Will do! thank you Eric
I work with someone that can fan perfect with a pole
Good job buddy, I've been doing windows that way for the last 2 years, it's simple and efficient 👍🇦🇺
So ready for the new yearly special! I'm brand new to the game and 4 days into my first week solo. So far I'm loving the work and your videos have helped me so much. Today was the first day I was able to fan successfully and ironically it was when it was using an 8 ft pole. Just mimic'd what I saw in your videos and it came naturally. After that I tried it with the chest level windows and ended up nailing it. Lastly I was able to cut in on the left side of the glass on shop doors and clean the entire thing in a few motions, just like in your video. Very satisfying work to say the least. Thank you for all the lessons brother! \../,
I’ve used this since I’ve seen it here, saved me so much time
Thanks for sharing, SteveO!
Great technique! Also I wanted to ask you if you could do a video reviewing GG3 and GG4 on residential homes. I know you did a vid already but it would be awesome to see, specially since its hot outside rn.
Just bought your starter kit! Im loving your videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
jamais emmerder avec ettore ,toujours des problémes avec moerman,,merci pour tes vidéos,pas de formation de window cleaner ici en françe ,du pain béni pour moi !!très bon coup d'œil nickel!!!
Moerman c'est pas terrible en effet, je travaille avec Sörbo mais une catastrophe en réapprovisionnement, toujours en rupture de caoutchouc depuis plus de 6 mois...
Hard water videos would be awesome 👍🏻
Learned something new today
Thank you Steve O
I use a 14 inch mop and a 14 inch ettore stainless steel channel with the moerman handle and green rubber. Its nice a light. I have great results with a pulex 10 inch moerman handle abs green rubber. I feel i can fan easily with the 10 inch.
The tride and true chopping down the mountain. I also like in high-rise we called it the J-stroke.
Mr. Steaveo,
I am practicing cleaning windows on my house, and am getting OK at it. I do a lot of detailing to make it look perfect, but they look great to me when I'm done. Should I go out and start bidding work, or keep practicing till I get better?
I still do straight pull method.
Thank you for the technique, I have been practicing
Pretty sure I've met you at Red Rocks. Love your vids. What they haven't taught me, they've at least given me the courage to attempt!
Can u do a special on two handed technique when u have time, please? This heatwave has me leaving some embarrassing water marks ☹️ - (from dry glass I guess?) The two hand motion just feels so foreign, can u share any good tips or tricks on incorporating it into the bag'o'skills?
Man I miss the bronze wool! Still like these kinds of videos.
Only have 1 more pad after this one 😫
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner you should probably frame it.
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner am I missing something, do they not make bronze wool anymore?
Hi Steveo, is there a video where you explain the last technique where you skipt the little spot? greets
Been using that technique for the last 3-4 years it’s quick easy and less mess. Will u be doing another video on rubbers. Been using red razor for a while and it’s been good. Tried under green rubber when it first come out was great but now I feel they’ve the rubber and isn’t that great now.
Yep, I feel the same recently with the Unger green, I have a had a couple bad batches, not sure why really
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner yeh I bought a batch couple of month ago and they were shit to say the least so I thought bad batch go back to my red razor then I went back to the unger green last week and I guess either bad batch again or they’ve downgraded the quality waste of money so going back to my red razor. Also tried that royal blue one can’t Mind the name of it and man was that bad lol.
What do you recommend for a 16 yo who has needed equipment and has already started going around the neighborhood looking for jobs. The cost of living in my hometown isn’t as high as a bigger city and I want to be able to grab a few jobs so I am starting with a base price of $50. My question is how to fix streaking, and what would be some good marketing tips? And what are some good tips in general for a first timer? If I could I want to turn this into a business by the end of this summer with a steady income or by next spring/ summer.
Omg i have just the same techniek as you💪. Greetings from belgium.
I love you SteveO
❤️
I really want to get into this windo cleaning business and just do this as a job. I am 18 male and I feel like this is something I can do and enjoy doing it. I am just not sure how to start myself up I feel like I need a mentor to start me up.
Great technique
Nice
I literally had to slow the video down to a quarter speed to see how he actually did it and I noticed that he cleans the edges twice with a squeegee wow but when I do it like my rubber gets caught in the frame but I think I am applying to omuch pressure
Hey Stevo could you do a bit on how to bud construction cleans
Why wouldn’t you recommend wiping the sides first and then fanning for commercial stuff?
Love it man!
Nice video, I love doing trad when I get chance. Been cleaning a long time but I always get diagonal rubber marks on the top corners? I soap the mop, prime my rubbers and don't put too much pressure on but they still appear?? 🤔
I am looking for a small van, and I have noticed that you have a new one. What is the make and model of it? I am looking for a used version of some small vans. What do you suggest?
Why do my windows look great in the shade or with partial sun, but a bit smudgy when the sun shoots directly through it?
Great video Steve, what pad are you using on the window?
Walnut pads windowcleaner.com/xero-walnut-scrub-pad?pt=MY
Man, I love all your videos. ASMR for sure lol.
Question for you....is starting a window cleaning business still a good business to start these days?? Thanks man
Oh for sure, anytime is a great time to start a window cleaning business
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner I appreciate the answer! Thanks again man! I was actually gonna grab some stuff on WCR. Are tou part of the company? Or just an affiliate?
hi steve, love your videos, how often do you change rubber, normal
/ johan, sweden
I'm a homeowner that decided to try this method with Dawn soap instead of straight pulls and the Ettore liquid. One thing I'm noticing is that the ends of the (old brass) squeegee are not pulling the water off the glass. Do I need new rubber inserts or is it just poor technique on my part?
Also what is the ratio of Dawn to water? I have lots of suds and may be using too much soap.
Thanks
What are you using after the mop for the extra scrub?
Hard water 101? I need it
Awesome 😎
If i came back to the left side its dry sqeezhy wont glide
Do you use a microfiber towel to detail the windows or is it just a normal towel?
I like these towels the most for detailing windowcleaner.com/xero-fish-scale-towel?pt=MY
Whats the right size squeegee? If you were gunna straight pull you should be able to with 2 pulls. thats my opinion. only thing better than that is a perfect fit.
18 is the best size for 2 swipes in my opinion, then 14” for fanning residential works nicely
👍🏻
Yo Stevo, have you ever tried the wagtail orbital squeegee?
I didn't do the top windows
Iv noticed lately that when the squeegee stops when hitting the corner or side it leaves a line that shows in the sun?
Yes, you want to me smooth in the corners or that mark can be left behind
Is it OK to store squeegee rubbers in a hot vehicle or garage?
I would not, keep them in a tool box, out of the sun, I just have a few in my vehicle and restock when needed
howzit going, I live in the desert ,super dry climate. the windows dry up so fast ..I'm getting older and I'm not as fast as I used to be ..I've cleaned in Louisiana and Hawaii, where it's really humid. what can I put in my water to make it stay wet longer.?
Yes, this really helps that windowcleaner.com/cliche-chemicals-hi-slide?pt=MY
What about sudsy ammonia?
Hi there what size channels do u use for residential at moment and do you use 18” mop all time thx?
For residential I always have an 18", 14", 10" and 6" and yes 18" Mop most of the time
Longevity question: I miss the days of the RUclips window Cleaning era. Just 5 years ago, RUclips was filled with great window cleaning content...you Steveo O, Luke, the Window Cleanse, even Marcus (who was at odds with many it seems, but RIP to him, sad). Seems like the content has really dried up...lots of change. I think I get it, as most just get busy with the business (what happened with me). But the question is:. How is your body holding up? I've been in this a bit over ten years, and the only complaint is my elbow on my dominant hand...the aggressive fanning after millions of panes is likely the culprit. Ever have any issues? Been considering doing more straight pulls to make it easier on the body, but it's a hard transition, as fanning is just so natural. Here is to all the OG's.
I 100% agree, RUclips is unfortunately fading and now that people can make 7 second long videos and get millions of views, RUclips is not appealing to the younger generation.
As far as longevity, my back is the worst thing that has happened to me, to the point of no return with it and have to be really careful. I try to keep my squeegee touch a lot less now as far as pressure and that has helped resolve any elbow or shoulder issues
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner I can't believe how much pressure I used to use. Now, it's more Winsol/Dawn and maybe a bit more cleanup, but saved the arms altogether. Smarter not harder. The back issue is pretty much there for all of us I think at some point. Lots of stretching is in my world now. Never thought I'd have to "warm up" for some window cleaning lol. Btw, I have people all the time ask me about a video they saw on TikTok, mainly when I'm fanning (probably showing off a little I must admit). They stand there and just watch, and say how satisfying the movements are -- pretty sure that was your video they saw. Making the rounds here in Indiana/Michigan/Illinois lol
Hey I thought you said recently Unger Green Rubber was your favourite now?
I do like it, buts it’s been a little inconsistent lately. Not sure what the deal is honestly but Ettore is always good
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner i used ettore until i switched to the liquidator channel at which time i found the moerman precut soft was best but i just ordered some unger green...we'll see
Og
Hi stevo i have a questions thath i have got me thinking a lot and that is if the unger ninja is better than the sörbo 40 degre handel and viper channel . Vise versa
Please tell me wich is better pros an cons you now than i just need to thank you for teaching me how to fan and angels and all the stuff. Your the best
Thanks frome Me Elias / Sweden ! 🤣👍🪟🪟
