Congratulations from Spain (Barcelona), you are a good team and a good inspiration for those of us who are starting, thanks to you I am putting into practice many tips, in Spain we can only get unger products :( I would love to be able to work with EXCELERATOR products
Neatly done. Very informative. I was not sure why this fanning technique is invented but now I learned that it's for preventing extra drippage of water. And I suppose it's quicker. Reanna is so skillful. Good work!
Great video Luke and Reanna. Another great water management video. Picked up two tips from this one, thanks. I'm an old dog, but still learn'n. Man I LOL-ed about those blinds - brings back so many funny memories. I've damaged sooooo many blinds over the years, but learn't my lessons! Really good advice for newbies. Back'n'tha'day none of this was around, so thank you so much for these free instructional videos. Lifting the game for everyone who watches. Keep it up. Much appreciated.

Thanks guys! I’m just starting out and it’s amazing to have you guys making videos for people like myself who have never done it before but found myself doing it. Just listened to your episode on wcr nation with Jersey, and finally cleaned my first window today haha. Idk, thanks a lot. You guys have some amazing content it’s unbelievable.
#Lukethewindowcleaner I miss watching you guys y'all were someone I could turn to when I needed advice... Always found it with your great work and content...
curious why steel wool instead of white scrubby pads also I noticed on the blinds you might want to open them first before pulling them up always goes up easier
mcace yes, we are always using steel wool on both sides but I've often thought that to be a waste. For insides, being less dirty, the white scrubby pads work just fine and are reusable. Have you tried the walnut shell scrubby pads? I hear they are just as effective as steel wool.
Awesome advice on doing interiors. Actually ordered one of those Moerman sleeves based on your recommendation. Can’t wait to try it! - Fellow KC window cleaner
Awsome video guys ... love it !!! I currently run a Pressure washing business and want to get into the window cleaning side possibly more than pressure washing .... I would love to see how you guys add pressure washing or hear your thoughts of one service over the other ...??
I use a sponge for cleaning out tracks. I use real sponges that I get from Detroit Sponge and Chamois. If you can't find real sponges you can always go for synthetic sponges you can get from Home Depot.
Do I spot TroyBuilt pressure washing equipment on the back? Great video as always. I notice you use Ettore handles and channels in this video. Do you have a videos where to break down which squeegees you like for route, resi...when you use excellerators etc. I have an idea but it'd be an interesting topic. Thanks Luke and Riana! Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
so im curious about the the tinted windows.... i worked on a glass line years ago so i know the low-e or the tint is on the inside of double pane windows.... so im just wondering what r u talking about.... i currently run an auto detailing business so i know about tint but cars use single pane ... but how can u tell that the tint is on the outside of double pane glass
+NW Window Washing thanks. does a great job of removing any stubborn debris on the glass that the mop wouldnt remove. we dont usually use it inside except for kitchen and garage windows. but in the dark we couldnt see if we missed anything so just to be safe we used steel wool
On heavily soiled windows you can't scrape I presoak. Wet the glass and before it dries wet it again with the brush. Much as you presoak pots in the kitchen. It loosens up debris. I also place brush horizontal on glass and use a water bottle to put water on. This controls how much water I have on the brush and there is no dripping.
do you do any chicken shops? the windows are so greasy it takes me like an hour, im using dawn and vinegar. Is it worth adding some barkeepers friend to the mix?
I've been using, and will keep using because it's worked great, Ammonia, Pine Sol (not the original sent) and Unger glide from Home Depot and I bet it will dissolve that grease like nothing...give it a try.
Not sure how your channel doesnt have way more subs you two are amazing! I do need some advise please. I am starting my business and want to start with small-med single story homes and small-med commercial. Nothing too crazy unfortunalty I have a disability so limited on size of job. What size and brand/model rubber would you recommed for me? I am trying to setup a belt and ttols just lie you two have yours seems so effecient so I am putting together a list of tolls and supplies needed to get started! Thank you for all the great videos trying to work my way through them all. You two are such an amazing couple wishing you all the best in life. Thank you again for all you do for all of us newbies have a wondeful weekend. -Paul
Great vid Luke. Quick question..how long did it take the both of you to clean that residential? Screens? Inside and out? I am a one man show. I love doing residential, but seems to take me forever. Especially moving furniture and being extremely careful ,tip toeing around doing the clean. A special note, I would love to be able to shoot some videos for my channel, but I am afraid that would add so much time to the clean. I digress.Keep the vids coming.👍
Well dang. I got into the wrong side of business with window cleaning. These guys just clean the easy part. All i do is new construction window cleaning. And let me tell you oh my god. The paint, texture, and siicone thats on the inside of the window frames are a nightmare to clean. I mean i get paid well to clean it. Stil itd be nice to just do dummy hobo squeegeeing all day to make a living 😩😭😂
THE OWNER HAVE TO PULL UP THE BLINDS NOT ME. THAT'S THE SMART WAY TO SAVE TONS OF MONEY. I'M INSIDE THE HOUSE TO CLEAN DE WINDOWS AND FRAMES WHEN IS PART OF THE CONTRACT SIMPLE LIKE THAT.
32 years in this business... I have a modification for your squeegee that you will LOVE.... no water on the edges at all... when you're done wiping the water , you're done.... no ragging
and it's soooo much faster just to pull the squeegee straight down than all the movement fanning.... by the time you're halfway down a slider fanning I'm already done.... I do great work, but I'm also fast as hell
wonder why people like the french pane look. doesn't it just obstruct your view when looking out, as opposed to a single pane of glass? am I missing something? not to mention they are a pain in the rectum to clean (unless they are like the ones in this video)
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I think the look of smaller panes alters the appearance from outside to match some specific architectural style, without increasing the cost of the window by much. I like the look, because I grew up with single pane aluminum windows and to me they look low-rent. Just my conditioning I guess. As a window cleaner, I am always thankful when the mullions are between panes, for obvious reasons. Mullions that separate actual physical glazed panes into multiple lites are fine for increasing the pane count and thus the quote. But watch out for windows with faux mullions, where it is a single pane with mullions that are built outside the window but are not fully glazed. We have an annual job that has these and the dripping is a royal pita. We have practiced several ways to cope with the water running and collecting behind them, but be sure to bid more time for these. Call it a frustration fee. 😂

Benjamin Calzado thank you buddy!
Yeah it's common sense d those window are clean try dirty with stickers
Use a kinfecloth for the edges
Neatly done.
Very informative. I was not sure why this fanning technique is invented but now I learned that it's for preventing extra drippage of water. And I suppose it's quicker.
Reanna is so skillful.
Good work!
Excellent video and information guys. I wished my girl would help me. You make a great team. What is the best way to clean screens?
Awesome no drip technique breeanna 😁😂 I learned something today!
So trying this today!!
Great videos Luke! She's a keeper! Keep it up, guys!
PRO TIP of the day. never just pull the cord/string on a blind. Always use your other hand to hold the weight of blind as you raise it.
+Fattie ya be careful!😊
I always use my hand 🤚 to assist the blinds.
You are a true professional like myself.
Very careful.
Blinds in the UK are designed to break or get jammed. I always guide up the blind with my hand underneath. Cheap rubbish UK blinds
hi there, wondering if you could show how to clean the glass in between when there are 2 windows that slide up and down.
What is the water solution/cleaner you use?
Great video Luke and Reanna. Another great water management video. Picked up two tips from this one, thanks. I'm an old dog, but still learn'n.

I do not speak much English but I understand you very much thank you for your great work and make it easier. God bless you for your great help
+YAMILETH DIAZ hey no worries ! thank you glad you enjoy our videos !
I always learn something new. This time about the squeegee touching the applicator all the way to the boab 👌🏻
Steven Lee thank you!
Really digging the less edited format of the last 2 videos guys! Keep em coming!
Kenny Flores thanks , we have more vlog style videos coming soon
Love your videos man. I’m a young window cleaner, started my business when I was 12. I’m 18 now, and it’s finally picking up.
#Lukethewindowcleaner I miss watching you guys y'all were someone I could turn to when I needed advice... Always found it with your great work and content...

What about sliding glass or tempered glass?
The steel wool doesn't leave fine scratches on the glass?
Awesome advice on doing interiors. Actually ordered one of those Moerman sleeves based on your recommendation. Can’t wait to try it!
- Fellow KC window cleaner
Are those ribs external as surely you would get runs from the squeegee if they are internal?
Those windows with the french panes inside of the glass is more and more coming to my country. Love those ✌️
Hello from Reno NV. We enjoy your videos and we hope you can start posting new ones.
Nice job !
we are planning to do windows next year..THANKS this helped us !!
Hi. How do I stop getting streaks on mirrors and inside windows. Thank you
If I may ask, what is the purpose of the swooping squeegee movements?
i made some scratch with my squeegee, do you know a trick or product to remove it
Great video, Luke. I train my guys to put hand under the blinds and lift it while pulling the string.
Why did you remove the outside screens while cleaning the interior windows?
Loved this. What a great tutorial. Thank you.
Riana did not sound like a morning person 😆. I really need to get the Moerman sleeve tho!
Yeah man the moermans hold so much water it’s stupid haha! I love em
Great video y'all! I might use this to train our team, seriously!
Glad to see a video from you bro nice
If it is black glass, what would you need to take the tough grime and dirt off without scratching the tint?
Why do you guys use steel wool instead of blades?
Great video. I need to look into better mops. have the ones with the scrubby on the back and they don't hold much water.
Red Rock Maintenance thank you! Moreman makes a great mop
Maybe this was answered in another video, but I am curious why you opened and closed that slider a few times.
I ALWAYS "help" the blinds up by lifting with one hand. I've broken too many before doing that
what is the bare minimum per window price?
Thanks for the tips.
Kray Rodriguez fo sho
Awsome video guys ... love it !!! I currently run a Pressure washing business and want to get into the window cleaning side possibly more than pressure washing .... I would love to see how you guys add pressure washing or hear your thoughts of one service over the other ...??
Great vid. Love the interior work. 🤙🏼
Greetings from Germany, you are the best.
I use a sponge for cleaning out tracks. I use real sponges that I get from Detroit Sponge and Chamois. If you can't find real sponges you can always go for synthetic sponges you can get from Home Depot.
What types of towels do you use? I like surgical but I’m curious to see what y’all were using in this video for interior
lsufan 119 hey buddy! we use surgical towels
You guys make me wanna partner up with my wife. Great video!
Do I spot TroyBuilt pressure washing equipment on the back? Great video as always. I notice you use Ettore handles and channels in this video.

Wonderful work you guys. Too early for residential cleaning for me though.
Marlon Mangawang thank you very much !
What is it with mid west peeps using steel wool to scrub? I only use steel wool on dry glass only. Great job on that home by the way.
+NW Window Washing thanks. does a great job of removing any stubborn debris on the glass that the mop wouldnt remove. we dont usually use it inside except for kitchen and garage windows. but in the dark we couldnt see if we missed anything so just to be safe we used steel wool
i always clean the frame and window sill

I also place brush horizontal on glass and use a water bottle to put water on. This controls how much water I have on the brush and there is no dripping.
I smashed LIKE and I HIT THE BELL 🛎
what type of steel wool do you use? In other words how fine?
0000
What does steel wool do?
It's an abrasive pad to remove stubborn debris
hi there visiting yr beatuful country on vacation. Have you used magic eraser on windows before
Brad Cruise wow how was it? And no but I've heard good things
Gotta love a suunto core
steel wheel is to keep the copper clips from breaking any windage.
Great vid! Thanks & happy thanksgiving 🦃🍽
John Burbridge thank you , hope you have a great thanksgiving !
Just started a house and window cleaning business together with my wife! What size squeegee was Riana using on that first half moon window? Thanks
Why don't you use a painter's drop cloth or a tarp under the window?
skeletor emcee used to just more steps, we prefer to be a little more careful and not drip
What brush are you using for cleaning tracks?
Happy Thanksgiving!
do you do any chicken shops? the windows are so greasy it takes me like an hour, im using dawn and vinegar. Is it worth adding some barkeepers friend to the mix?
+Regan Orr yes we do , i use dawn and steel wool
I've been using, and will keep using because it's worked great, Ammonia, Pine Sol (not the original sent) and Unger glide from Home Depot and I bet it will dissolve that grease like nothing...give it a try.
Kray Rodriguez thanks I will certainly give it a try. Steel wool and dawn take way too long for this one
How long does your steel wool last?
Canonjac depends really. Usually around a couple of hours
I noticed you were using a red cloth for detailing.
Is that a shop towel? Is that similar to the surgical towels?
Thanks for the videos!
Michael Manns yes its a surgical towel

also great job!! 8-)
just throw a towel on the carpet and don't worry about drips.... windows are too dirty sometimes to use so little water....

and it's soooo much faster just to pull the squeegee straight down than all the movement fanning.... by the time you're halfway down a slider fanning I'm already done.... I do great work, but I'm also fast as hell
@@smglover3 which is..?
Ilearned the hard way and pulled one down once

Nice
