    I use a Backflip handle for hand work nowadays too. Either that, or a short Ledger. The reduced stress that the extra leverage makes possible makes all the difference after 8 hours at the local business park. Seriously.

  • @THEDUDE912
    @THEDUDE912 7 років тому +3

    Good informative video but the most important aspect of any technique is the base angle or the distance the handle is from the glass. The angle of the channel in relation to the handle determines how close or how far your handle is from the glass. Once this is understood maintaining that distance consistently is everything regardless of how your wrist swivels... and then you can easily miss and go back to any spot on the window and can even start in the middle , left, top, side or corner.

    So fanning in one motion like your doing down the window prevents you from having to do the initial top and left wipe of the edge before doing the lateral pulls for the more beginner window cleaner. And now that your done fanning this window do you detail it for any remaining water?

    When ever there is always a trail of water from the tip of my squeegee.. Even tho I lead with the top forward. Is this because of my rubber or my technique? Any help is appreciated!

  • @jamesrobinson1022
    @jamesrobinson1022 3 роки тому +1

    I have hard time doing the fanning method cause it is hard on my wrist. I can only do the cut and straight swipes. I use real sponges for wiping my squeegee and frames and also use T.S.P. instead of soap. It's old school style but I work for a family run business that's been doing it this way since 1960.

  • @Xenonclouds
    @Xenonclouds 11 років тому

    Any dish soap is fine as it acts like a natural lubricant for your squeegee. If your techniques good, you won't have any issues. I personally use a small cut down six inch for a great deal of my res work as its very manuverable in my fingers. Also means I can do the annoying georgian type pains without switching or using microfibres. For commercial work, mainly a twelve on a pole. There are basic techniques but everyone's different in what they prefer. :)

      Alison Walker get yourself an 18” Moermann Fl*q Excelerator. Best purchase I’ve made for Window Cleaning. Minimal detailing. It can swivel almost 300°, and you can adjust the angle from 0° to 45°.

      Riles that video actually lead to me being a window cleaner. Instead of working the 8-5 job through the week, I have the flexibility to schedule when I work and make $50-$75/hr. After I get a bit more practice in and become more efficient, I’ll be making $75-$100/hr.

    • @lovemysofa

      think of half horizontal figure of e ights. dont worry about keeping the water tidy unless indoors. just mop and edge at the end. also get the smaller handle squeegee. hard to explain without showing. but your technique seems sound so just keep the thumb on the top right/left of the handle. and also the smaller the squeegee the quicker. ive been doing since i was 16 so ive had plenty of time to be fast. if your business is not majority window cleaning then get someone in to do the windows only. their speed will make you more money :)
      good luck dude.

    • @steverogers2720
      @steverogers2720 7 років тому +1

      the trick is to use "Soft Hands" pressing hard will prevent you from fanning, helps if the soap you use has a slipperiness to it...besides that it's practice practice practice
