Be very carful washing screens, Many screens have never been replaced and become brittle and easy to rip/tear washing by hand takes longer but helps prevent damage to old screens, (we as business people do not want to spend all out time ordering and replacing screens)
Hey Steveo, have you ever had to clean glass that is behind a security screen where the glass isnt removable from the inside? and the screen can not be removed unless you unscrew the many screws holding it in? Thanks for your help!
I’ve had issue with a pressure washer not having the scrubbing power and leaving the screens with a dusty look when they are dry. You forgot to mention a screen brush! It works on 90% of screens where we are.
Thanks SteveO, I almost bought the screen washer a couple of weeks ago. Here in Australia 95% of house's need the screens washed. But after watching your vid I'll go with the pressure washer.
I been using pressure washing on screens for years , i just adjust the throttle speed since is a Dewalt 4200 psi I use for multiple purposes or you can buy a ship electric one which is more than enough to wash screens and get moving big screen amounts of screen cleaning
I know this is old but I'll give it a shot. When i do the math dollars for time + results, screens are a serious money maker. When i see this screen cleaner and it being able to blow through 25 screens in 10 mins i start to see a great investment. Frames can be wiped again before inserting and i know all of my customers would be happy. Any thoughts??
I just bought a Honda petrol powered pressure cleaner..(you don't want hoses AND electrical cords to tangle up) its a bloody weapon so choose your nozzles wisely.. got sick and tired of washing screens one by one then leaning them up the side of the house (30+ screens) only to be blown over by the wind!! So I utilised the customers patio posts, tieing up a "clothesline" sometimes 15-20 meters long with paracord and literally pegging the screens to it with industrial size pegs. . then you just line em up with the HONDA BOY and blast the shit out of em.. can't blow over too.. pressure cleaners are also great for screen doors that can't be removed.. gets all the leaves out of the lips around the edge making your finished product look great.. can also rope the customer into pressure washing the house prior.. hope this tip helps Noble Window Cleaning- South West Australia
Do you charge extra for window screen cleaning and do you also charge extra just to take them off? I had a customer who called me back to clean the screens after she tried going 20$ lower than I quoted and I charged her 2$ per screen to remove and install how ever I didnt quote her to clean the screens. Any input? In 19 and just started
Hey bud did you use soap with the pressure washer? Didn’t look like it. I’d like to try with mine since I don’t care to go buy a brush and bucket like in example A. Thanks.
chris finch I have a new playlist on my channel, job overviews, in there it has a couple residential jobs where I show some different screens. Screens can be a pain, a find a putty knife helps quite a bit
Hey SteveO I have a question about Residential window cleaning: If your Cleaning windows water Fed are you using the client's water and if so does that affect the price?
I hardly ever clean them...Honestly I feel that they never look that different unless they are insanely dirty and then you clean them and there always broken
I usually bring my own nozzle for a garden hose and just spray them with that? Way easier then pressure washer and it works pretty well
Used the mop n' towel method at a job yesterday, it was way better and faster than what I've been doing!

Joe Lorenzo it’s just so quick and easy, a little more expensive then screen washer but well worth it
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner Sorry to bother you again man, but what pressure washer are you using. It looks like a great little compact unit. Thanks

Hi what if you just can't get the screens out? I've had some warped screens that just won't lift out. Thanks .
They should put a foot pedal on that screen cleaner to turn the water on and off!
I like it simple. For me less is more. 😎
Thanks SteveO
Mike Defiel your welcome Mike!
Hey SteveO how much do you charge per screen? Thanks a lot this video was the most helpful i've seen.
Canonjac around $2-$3 depending on size

What kind of towel you use? I tried microfiber and it left some fibres behind that were hard to get off
Recycled surgical or microfiber, I prefer Fish scale towels or Unger ninja microwipe for a microfiber
Hey bud did you use soap with the pressure washer? Didn’t look like it. I’d like to try with mine since I don’t care to go buy a brush and bucket like in example A. Thanks.

Hi SteveO. When you clean a sliding screen door, do you remove it from the tracks? What is your process with sliding screen doors?
If it comes off easily then yes but if not I just brush it off with my towel
Yeah I've been debating on getting a screenwasher ora power washer and I agree, power washer is better!
Thanks for the great overview video👍🏻.
Heather The Window Woman it’s just quicker
Hey SteveO I have a question about Residential window cleaning: If your Cleaning windows water Fed are you using the client's water and if so does that affect the price?
Yes we use the clients water and it does NOT decrease the price. We've never had a customer complain about it.
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner Thanks for the reply, I was just wondering how that works.
Since you’re using low pressure from the pressure washer,...It makes me wonder if I can use my jrod tips to clean screens with.
Awsome Steven
What screen washer is that?
Hey, that is this one windowcleaner.com/products/aztec-screen-washer?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS
