It’s hard to get the silicone on camera after removing most of it, but it leaves a “smear” that needs further polishing to completely remove, Magic eraser and microfiber are perfect for the final step

I accidentally put silicone over paint on glass so I used "Glass Cleaner" and scraped the silicone off and off went the paint. Now the glass is clean. Nice video.

These tips are always so useful, and we appreciate you taking the time to make these tutorials. I serviced my first repeat customer last Friday, and you have been instrumental in my growth. Thank you.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Thank you!!!

W gray this is just the right amount of editing, not too much but just enough to look quality asf

[@Clammer_McDavid]

Loving this instructional series! Keep these coming!

[@hudsonritter2357]

Thanks again steveo! You have helped me in so many ways!!

[@jamesparsons1979]

The squeaking of that magic eraser almost sent me to the afterlife

[@mssnowball51055]

Wow, thank you soooooo much. I did all you said and it WORKED!! I finally have clear windows.❤❤❤❤❤

[@walshep7]

Thanks! DIY caulked around some of my windows today and got some silicone on them the magic eraser really helped!

[@TradMan]

Nice demo 👌🏻
Just catching up on some window cleaning videos, haven't watched much for ages. Mainly watch motorcycle videos most of the time but great demo this 👍🏻

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Brand new to this channel thanks bro from Vancouver 🇨🇦🫡⚓️😎

In my demolition jobs I use a degreaser like Krud Cutter or Super Clean to dissolve the silicone, then scrape it off the surface. Then you can finish with the magic eraser.

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Be careful with Krud Cutter, it can etch glass. Had a customer spray over all there windows and damaged every window

[@matsudakodo]

@@SteveOthewindowcleaner yikes. Yeah in that example it was tile so no foul spraying it on there. For glass you'd want to be more careful. I haven't come across silicone on glass, but have seen paint. Recently I used a few sprays of Super Clean on the mop to up the power of the soap a little. And it's not on the glass for long. If you saw the complete caking of spider poop and bug juice on those 45° windows, you'd understand...lol. You couldn't see out of them.

[@jockman44]

Great channel, learnt so much. Why am I occassionally getting scratches marks with scraper even when window is wet

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

It’s due to fabrication debris on the window, it can happen no matter what but typically the scratches are already there but after cleaning it makes the scratches standout

[@homelessbagabundo7125]

You should cover if you have not.
Windows with logos on it you clean them like normal but there is always water coming out from the logos in the windows is quite time consuming to clean the logos to make all the water come out then i clean the window but i have not find a better way

[@TheIfarted]

I was going to do a construction clean up for a home builder, he said the windows had silicone on them i just said “yea ill prolly use steel wool on it” he flipped out “YOUR GONNA SCRATCH THE WINDOW, if you cant do the job let me know right now”. I looked at him and said “i guess i cant do your job” and left.. the hell with that guy

[@OscarPerez-ec6eu]

Never mentioned what solution you used? Acetone? Lacquer thinner?

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Soap and water for the solution

[@markreinmiller6045]

How do you remove finger prints in the pores of the glass?

[@SteveOthewindowcleaner]

Are they in between the panes?

[@stephentrepreneur]

Yikes no, no steel wool. 3 passes with scraper should be enough with sufficient elbow grease. I regularly do builder's cleans where there is silicone, plaster, even concrete which is more difficult - and make them look like there is no glass. I wouldn't even use steel wool on a rental.

[@larryoutdoor]

That's the stuff.🎋💩💩💩
