Glad to know I'm not the only one who groans like an old man and sounds like I'm always out of breath when I work lol.
hahahahahaha
I used to make fun of my dad for making groan noises when he's super concentrated on a task but a couple years ago my girlfriend pointed out that I was making the exact same noises when I focused on anything lol. It wasn't even just for things that are physically draining either, I would do them even when playing videogames or making food or making measurements for hanging stuff on our walls
@@connerbraynt7010 😂😂😂
27 and I make noises like I'm 45 when on the job 😅🤣
I like these fulm videos of the whole job. Shows people every one exactly what u do and how to get the jobs done in a proficient way. Thanks
I love your videos man, I have picked up so many good things from you, and your attitude is great. You have given me so much inspiration. I was really getting tired of washing windows and after watching you and listening to Jersey I have a totally new outlook on the window world. Thanks
Thank you! Really appreciate it, best of luck!!
He and my cousin and Luke Straight talked me into becoming a window cleaner and then MF taught me how to do the shit lmao
These are always my favorite kind of window cleaning content, just running through it, even hearing the heavy breathing! Woo 😂💯👏
Glad you enjoyed!
You are an independent window cleaning school. Keep up.
Been doing trad window cleaning for over 16 years. Just got a WFP system. I am learning the techniques.
I really like it. My knees also love the idea of not having to climb ladder all day!
WFT will be uses for certain jobs. Not every job. But it really helps.
So jealous of how I never see you clean frames very much!
I'm in Germany, and whilst the window and frame design here is usually quite different from what I see in your videos, almost all my customers fully expect a full frame cleaning to be included.
Yea on these frames they don't need it but if its normal aluminum frames I always wipe down the inside frame closest to the window but they rarely need it
Bro you’re the only other person I have ever seen that uses a pole with a loose swivel squeegee like that. I usually only do it for higher up arched windows, other than that I try to keep it tight for control. Nice work tho man keep killing it
Thank you for taking the time to post your most helpful videos. You're really doing the community a great service.
I appreciate that!
Enjoy and doing windows has never been in my vocabulary.😂 I need you at my house! I have never used a squeegee. I guess that is the reason cleaning windows has never been fun for me. Thanks to your videos, I am going to try!
You're a freak. And I mean that in the best possible way. I've been working on my squeegee technique cause I'm thinking about getting into window cleaning as a profession but you make it look so easy. I really like the water fed pole system because it makes cleaning exterior windows on big two story homes so easy but I'm not going to invest the $10,000 (or whatever it costs for a good system) until I've started making money doing windows and can justify such an expense. Right now I'm a finish carpenter doing finish work on stairs (rails, balusters, posts, trim, kick and skirt, end caps, wall caps, shoe, etc.) but I work for a company and only make about $40 an hour based on the piece rate they pay which isn't a whole lot of money for what I do. I figure if I can sell my own jobs doing windows I could make closer to $100 an hour or more, especially with the water fed pole system. Or at least it could be a good side business to make a couple extra thousand a month on the side. I'll probably be hitting you up soon to get some window cleaning supplies. Thanks for what you do brother. Helping people learn how to make money cleaning windows is very cool of you to do. God bless brother.
doing the math and its definitely worth the time and effort...watched about 10 videos already.
Great train of thought narration from someone who has good work habits and cares about quality which this old man beginner much appreciates. You’re my guy hence forth. New scriber.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your long job video. I appreciate how much knowledge and experience you share with us as you show how a real job is executed. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Don’t know why but this was extremely satisfying
These are my favorite types of videos wish to see these all the time😊
Your so lucky you get to have all this good equipment, I’m starting to do this, but can’t afford all of the good stuff
I just started in solar panels cleaning
And when it's slow season I clean windows its a whole another world to figure out
kind of nice to watch others at work.
Greetings from Hamburg Germany
Just started following you, really appreciate your work. Do you use distilled water for cleaning storefronts?
In Florida this job would of had a lot more wasps, and instant evaporation on the glass (just have to soap it twice).. nice video.
Thats good to know, Florida is on our horizon in the next 5 years or so
how so you get no screeches? i just started window cleaning and i was practicing and i always get them its annoying.
Yea man I do a lot of houses that the bushes have grown over the windows and it's a pain in the butt trying to get to them I have in most cases trimed the bushes just to get to the windows I keep a pair of clippers in the truck should charge them for it but I'm not a land scaper
I do the same. Certainly makes life easier.
Great video bro, your day to day mirrors a lot of ours in the field. I’ve made the same mistake scheduling work on holidays. I guess when Spring rolls around each time I tend to get excited to start scheduling work again, and sometimes literally schedule myself into a corner. Did you end up keeping the little transit connect van, or move on entirely to the pickup?
I have to say, I had an 2000’s Astro van and absolutely loved it, it held a lot of equipment and had AWD, but eventually wore out. I recently bought a newer Transit Connect, over the Dodge & Nissan . I love how they zip around compared to the full sized rigs. I literally have Just enough space for my Tucker/Ro-Di equipment, shelving, trad stuff, and High-rise gear. I’m really liking it. I gained quite a lot of mpg too.
Thanks dude for your continued contributions in our trade of windows. I made quite a lot of videos too in RUclips’s early years, and was also approached by Collinsave productions company on a reality show , but we couldn’t figure out how to make a tv show work. It woulda been cool to make a show like “The Squeegees” …
Later bro 🥷
Hi Steve,
You’ve got one of the best window cleaning channels👍
I’m curious as to why you’re using a brass channel on the moerman instead of the moerman channel with the fliquer?
Surely you would have zero detailing with the moerman channel?
Doesn’t it take longer to change between mop & squeegee on the pole?
Thank you, I just prefer brass. Best balance of weight for me
I saw your van the other day, you were down in berthoud. Sweet rides man
Hey! thank you!
Noob here...lead on sir
And yes indeed I've learned I've been using a squeegie all wrong...smh
😅👍tysvm (liked,subscribed and sharing)
What brand is your pink pole & does the tip come with pole or you add your own?....looks sturdy & cool!
20:22 Steve, will applying a product like Invisible Shield really protect the windows against hard water stains?
Also, what are your thoughts on hydrophobic coatings? Would you suggest this for a client of yours as an option to keep their windows cleaner for longer?
Thank you!
Whenever i get my squeegee where even the tinyest bit of soap isnt on the window it instantly stops moving and like sticks to the window. How do i fix this?
Great Education Video, Thank you
How would you clean residential sky lights?
I also just orderd my 1st moerman handle today , ya its on the cart with amazon. Like yer vids steeeeevo
I'd be bringing a pair of hedge clippers
I bring clippers and clip a bit if I need to be able to get through to the window or if I might get poked in the eye by a tree branch
Hi I Washington wundering how I can find what you call taker and you put a fiber clauth om? Sorry for my bad English and thank you for putting out thees videos I learn alot from them. Best regards
Why you did traditional cleaning instead of Pure Water? I just like to understand, I'm learning, so I'd like to know when pic Traditional and when pic Pure Water.
Not sure if you mention what you charge per month for this specific gig?
You were just flying through that, impressive and inspiring.
$125 For outside only, takes 45 min
I liked the hard water product plug. Ya, I don't get why people don't request treatment more often.
I’ve just started my own business window cleaning on houses I want to get into jobs like this one restaurants ex How do you do your prising on a job like this. I’m in the uk and just do houses and a few little shops but I don’t know where to start on prising a job like this. PS I love your tools and your squeegees.
I like these type of videos. Even better if you do it on residential job.
Awesome!!!
Hello Steve!
How much you charge for windows like that with the bushes in front, do you charge extra for that particular windows?
Thank you for the video, great job!!!
That’s about $7 inside and out
Good stuff brother.
Just curious how much that specific customer pays you per visit?
Yer an expert at this craft. How many years on the glass do u have.
How do you get your squeegee to glide longer on the glass, whenever I squeegee at home ( Cleaning my own windows and mirrors) it struggles to glide after about a second of being wiped
I also find the water and solution is left after I squeegeed over the glass.
Any tips to perfecting my technique and products I should get? I think you mentioned something called slide?
Thanks
P.s I've been using the same rubber for about 2 weeks maybe this is a factor in lesser performance?
Love it bro, how you do it without leaving line when you pull straight down?
In really hot weather what do you recommend for a additive? Great video Steve.
windowcleaner.com/products/cliche-chemicals-hi-slide?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS here you go!!
Do you ever have issues with the new moreman handle locking and unlocking on you? I have two and the always lock or unlock on me while cleaning windows.
Thanx a lot for all your videos. For wagtail extension pole, what's the best rubber I can use? The hard or the soft rubber? I am a windowcleaner in the netherlands. Less windowcleaners are using wagtail extension poles above the 1 meter. I wanna learn it. I gotta practice a lot haha
I prefer ettore master, its closer to a medium and has a consistent good glide windowcleaner.com/products/ettore-master-squeegee-rubber?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS
33:31 whats that little hand one that you use fo4 cleaning the frames after cleaning the window? I don't know if you named it already; I might have been so mesmerized with the technique instead listening.
Hey, thats a 6" brass complete squeegee windowcleaner.com/products/ettore-complete-quick-release-brass-with-rubber-grip-squeegee?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS
Do you have any videos doing insides and how to minimise water and solutions getting on client carpets etc?
I dont but a painters drop cloth would rectify that
How do you squeegee with out getting water lines, I’m new and I have to do the beginner method where I squeegee straight down and the dry the squeegee and repeat because I always get water lines. Should I get a squeegee like you have or just keep practicing?
how much does this job cost?

Another great workthrough video.
What squeegee do you use? Mine definitely doesn’t glide the same and I’m using an Unger.
windowcleaner.com/products/ultimate-squeegee-combo?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS
I use this combo
how mush should i charge for commercial store fronts? i want to be competive but not loose a sale cause i over bid or loose out on more money if i undercut myself
Thank you for putting out great information we appreciate it!
You're welcome
I’m just prepairing to get started in this career Path. I’m in NC. Any advice ? I am planning on starting out on Store fronts first. On this video do you mind if I ask how you priced it out per window? Also list of equipment and supplies to start ? Is amazon best? Thank you for your time .
I don’t get a chance to work in heat here in VT
Lucky you lol
I like how that T Bar swivels freely, which bar is that?
windowcleaner.com/unger-ergotec-ninja-t-bars?pt=MY Here it is
Just curious I started out CD a couple days ago but when I use my squeegee it will leave a little bit of water on one side wich leads to streaks any advice?
What’s that little squeegee you’re using to clean off frames
windowcleaner.com/products/ettore-complete-quick-release-brass-with-rubber-grip-squeegee?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS 6" of this
Hi Steve O, in part 2 min and 54 sec, what is that hand tool you use to hold the towel to clean the aluminum from the windows?
That is the maykker handy sleeve 6" windowcleaner.com/maykker-handy-sleeve-complete?pt=MY
U ever have to deal with pet hair getting in your towels/squeegees? Keeps getting on my squeegees and causing bleeding.
Yea if im in a salon or house with a lot of pets it definitely happens
Thanks for another great video! 😁
Hi, I was wondering what is your technique for indoor windows in order not to splash too much soapy water around while squeegeeing? Thank you!
For inside I ring out the mop so its a lot less saturated and also use a towel as a drop cloth and then have extra towels to clean up any mess from the solution
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner Ok, clear, thank you. How do you clean windows or external shades which are not accessible by ladder and very limited access through open window which is part of that window wall if you will? Do you use some extentions? What tools for job like that would be needed. Do you ever use steamer for some hard to reach places?
Use the 2 handed method. Scrubber in one hand, squeegee in the other. Catch the squeegee water with your scrubber underneath.
steveO youre the fucking goat
just had to put that out there
Very kind of you! I appreciate it
Steve,
I am new to the window cleaning business,what is the best squeegee for starting out?
Ninja complete is easy to work with windowcleaner.com/products/unger-complete-ergotec-40-ninja-squeegee?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS
What kind of van do you have?
Where buy quick connections 🔧 and squeeze
Why would you not use a WFP on this job?
Clean this every month, traditional only takes about 45 minutes for the outside
Hey man see o egg he at criteria you use to give estimates? I’m still curious since I gave not heard back on this question 🙏🏻
Do you have any videos on cleaning shower doors? I've tried everything to get rid of the water spots with no success
Yea he has a video on hard water removal. He does it on basement windows but its the same concept!
try CLR (or any calcium remover)
Now I know why WCR was out of those green Unger blades for so long. You bought them all. 🤣
HAHAHAH
curious your opinion comparing excelerator & unihandle and anybody else out there
I prefer the excelerator, just so use to it
What criteria you use to price a job? Like this one how much is it and how you went about giving the customer an estimate 👍
So what criteria do you use to charge?
hows that new pulex handle? I lost my job at fish for a second time like days before it came out. I ordered like 300 bucks worth of unger ninja gear and abandoned it all. went home and saw they released it. lol. fuck now i gotta start over again. all cuz i bought all that crap and was days behind and coulda went balls to the wall with it.
Wo kann man die Stange her bekommen
What would you charge for a job like this 🤔 I know most time you make.abit less on comercial jobs just curious really love the content looking into starting to offer window cleaning services 😀 BTW happy holidays
At 6:00, that rabbit is sure to get out of your way so you can work.
WFP those windows from the sidewalk..
Would love to start
Have u ever used EBC Glide I hear its awesome
I have not
Great Video bro
Appreciate it
Is anything wrong with using dawn dish soap
Nope, many window cleaners just use dawn
I've been cleaning windows since 84. I've tried just about every window cleaning solution. I always just go back to dawn. The key is not to let any of it dry on the window. I use a Moerman fliq pad on my pole so I can wet and squeegee super fast. When not using a pole I use a 2 hand method with an ettore porcupine scrubber in my left hand and Moerman accelerator in my right. I can do a great job even in direct sunlight with this combo and I'm super quick.
Nice work bro
what squeege and rubber do you use
I really like this squeegee with Ettore or Unger rubber windowcleaner.com/products/ultimate-squeegee-combo?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS
10:25 lmaoooo
What t bar is that your using with the yellow sleeve ?
It’s this one
windowcleaner.com/sorbo-swivel-t-bars?pt=MY
How much you charge per these large windows
How much did you charge for this job
what mop is that?
Unger Monsoon and Ettore pro+
@@Jeff-ln7ie I think he said pulex. wanted to confirm
@@joshingm oh okay, youre probably right. It looks alot like the Monsoon. I don't have one but they've been around for a long time and a lot of window cleaners use the Monsoon.
Its this one but in green and white windowcleaner.com/pulex-microtiger-sleeves?pt=MY
Hungry hungry plants, they'll steal you're towels too.
Yes they do lol
Soap up with you left hand and squeegee with your right that's what I do
What squeegee/ size is that when you clean off the water from the sills/frame
Love your videos bro only thing I can't stand is you keep saying attore wrong and it's not only you but most people say it wrong. Most people don't know attore comes from Italy!
Have you listened to the way they pronounce it in there own videos? Ettore's youtube channel? Its the same way I pronounce it
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner
Ettore is the guys name who invented it he is from Italy google how to pronounce ettore. People say it like you with edorai when it's ettore in Italy the t and r are more pronounced. Google it bro
@@glcrashaw cool ruclips.net/video/9zdTbSuZIQU/видео.html first 4 seconds, I just pronounce it the way the company does
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner you do know that's not the one who created ettore he's just the company's sells person lol I'm telling you bro because I worked at the factory in California were it all started and all the white or Chinese people even black people would pronouns it wrong. Worked at the factory for 5 years met top top people who actually had a Italian back ground like the creator and they would pronouns it differently. It's not a English word it's a Italian word. Google how to pronounce ettore.
@glcrashaw How about you find something better to do with your time than complain about how someone pronounces a guys name. Especially with that someone being very well known in this industry. I use a lot of Ettore products in my business and really haven’t ever cared about how it’s pronounced, just happy they make good products. Maybe you can find a window cleaner from Italy to share knowledge with you, maybe he’ll pronounce it the way you want
Why not just use water fed
Not sure it would have gone any faster the way he was cruising through those
