Hi Dave,
What a practical video with clear explanations of the advantages of both.
I use on and off depending on the water pressure through my DI tank. If the glass is really dirty, I will then rinse off the glass the first scrub and on the glass for the second scrub. The circumstances determine the method.
I am also enjoying my Alpha Hybrid from Tucker. It has 2 fan, 2 pencil and a rinse bar. Fits nicely into my Gardiner pole.
Good video Dave found this very interesting. never thought of it but would make like a lot easier at times.
Partridge Exterior Cleaning definitely 👍
Priceless advice. Thank YOU.
Bloody impressive lead intro. A new fresh yet very professional touch. Another great informative video. The Insta 360 video and editing is out of this world. Well done Dave. Top Mark's
AW Services Thanks as always Austin 👍
Hi Dave great vid, I've been doing this method for years , even better if using a 12 inch brush head with the 4 pencil jets.. better rinse per square inch on the glass also less fatigue because it's lighter at heights and more whippy and responsive and gets into the corners better .. and way to get the water sheeting off the glass is to hand scrub and use 0000 steel wool on your first cleans or your beading glass . It may take extra time first up but benefits long term .. this works on 95 percent off glass out there.. yes flood the glass instead of repeating washing and rinsing.. time is money.. allows more time for the more important things 😜👍🔥
good video Dave, i use fan jets now and never have a problem with beading glass although i take 3 and sometimes 4 passes
Simon Reyes I had used fan jets for a couple of years but just gone back to the pencils for a change👍
Great video once again mate
DA Components Thanks Darren 🤣
Radial brush from reach-it is by far best brush for on glass rinsing.... Designed specifically for that...
Hi mate do you have a link please
Nice will take a look. I do this on very high buildings and leave the brush at the top of the glass to rinse, we all know holding a brush 40ft up away from the glass to rinse is a battle 😂 love the channel mate.
Lucas, your local window cleaner! Thanks Lucas. 👍
A fantadtic demo sir,
Glad you liked it 👍
That Shot when the sun shined in the background showed perfectly what flow is all about .. " Flow for dough " . I was scratching my head watching people use 2 mm penicl jets and 1 to 2 liters a minute flow years a go , i was thinking you need to use the water to help you and not slow you down .... i was always of the opinion .... big rinse = quick work = + more money .. quick work. = quality life ( more energy )
Fensterreinigung Reinigung PREISPASST thank you very much. I’m glad someone gets it👍
Hi Dave my trade secret glass mix to aids sheeting is. Hard water stain remover as a paste and titan green degreaser mixed in together using 0000 steel wool scrub onto glass window and polishing method, rinse off after 5-7 minutes dwell time .. your glass will now sheet off the water rather than beading off ..shhh our secret bro 😜👍
Nice video Dave! Definitely higher flow the better like , I've just got a Gardiner rinse bar from a mate of mine to check out , used it a couple of days and it's good so far and that's rinsing on the glass! Defo the way forward!
Ben Shields thanks Ben👍
Would be good if you had a break down of what equipment is needed for that set up . Would love a hot water system but I have to park the van far away from a power source and don’t fancy a gas canisters. Videos are the best out the squeaky clean Dave
Great video, thanks. I know you have probably changed brushes and poles many times since this vid but with the larger brushes what size pencil jets do you use and at roughly what sort of flow rate? Cheers
It’s normally 4 x 2mm pencil gets but I’ve gone over to the xline rinse bar on the same size brush. I have my flow set at 70-80 depending on what I need
Hi Dave, great video again, always watch your videos for helpful suggestions and ideas. Only been wfp window cleaning a year as trad before that. Noticed you use the phantom pole but with Gardner brushes. I'm looking at getting a new pole as got a slx but it's incredibly worn. Was thinking of getting a phantom pole but want to keep the Gardner brushes. And chance you could do a quick vid of what gooseneck fittings etc to use Gardner brushes on phantom poles please?
(Sorry for the essay 🤣)
Nathan
Hi Nathan
Thats quite an old video now as I have changed over completely to Ova8 but its very easy to do. . You just need to order a screw on plastic Gardiner Gooseneck which just screws onto the Phantom pole then the Gardiner quick Loc brushes fit

@@squeakycleandave1 thank you very much for getting back to us and thanks for the link too as to what I need to buy. Sorry I didn't look at how old that video was 🤦♂️ 😂 I am tempted by the ova 8 but haven't seen one apart from on UA-cam lol and don't like buying something without seeing it in the flesh first
@@nathanvose6842 I’m the same. I managed to have a look at the cleaning Expo a couple of years ago before I bought it
Like the new intro dave 👍
rizla 0Thanks. Not 100% happy with it. Think it needs a bit of work though 👍
Great video as always Dave,nice job 👍🏻
julian pierce thanks Julian
Hi Dave, I keep coming back to your videos as they are very helpful.
Would you be able to help with charging tips please?
What would be an average charge for exterior cleaning just like the one you did there?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Jefferson Faria try this link to give you an idea but there are a lot of different things that can change the price such as the area you live

Thanks a lot Dave, very helpful!
Nice work office bro, big commercial jobs use a different pump 20 litres per minute open flow pump 60 psi. Or if more pressure is required more pressure 10 litres per minute 200 psi pump... all you need to do is have a variety of brushes and drill out the pencil jets .. the advantages of the new Gardiner brushes is the capsules that can be swapped out.you can drill them out to suit your desired flow rates matched to the pump and jobs 👍😜that's how we roll bro
FlashTechEngineering nice one. Thanks brother👍
Hi there I'm really new to all of this only been using pole system for about a month. When you were talking about the different types of window, I have noticed that some windows leave alot more spotting than others. Do I need to get a better brush or is this just because of the type of window.
It’s not the brush it’s probably the glass. You will notice on some glass the water comes off in sheets which is called hydrophilic glass which means it loves water. The other type of glass the water comes off in beads which is called hydrophobic as in phobia it repels water.
The hydrophobic glass will need a lot more rinsing and you may not be able to rinse on the glass with it.
The other problems you might find is some windows may have vents above them. If these aren’t completely clean dirty water may run out of them leaving spots
Some people leave the vents all together
Great video Dave do you use wfp on all your work?Also do you find it causes you any neck or back pain?
Hi Patrick
Yes, I use WFP on 99% of my work with the occasional trad on the insides.
It's a very physical job. When I started I came from working in construction and even though I was quite strong and fit it did make me ache but that was just because I was using different muscles.
now adays if i have a really heavy day i ache but most of the time its ok.
Thank you for your reply Dave I find your videos very informative.
I do suffer from neck pain but I will change my technique now to rinsing on the glass thanks.
What are the best size jets to use 1.4mm or 2mm?
Have you tried 100% fans in the middle and pencils on the outside?
That's something I would like to try
Peter Williams I always used to use 4x100 degree fans but now use 4x 2mm pencils. I might try mixing them up a bit though 👍
Hi dave after a bit advice mate
Currently using gardiners pole and brush 26 cm brush
Been using univalve for a couple of months now with
50 per cent fan jets but find water is coming out far to fast even on low da components flow controller
Tried black and green jet capsules but flow is so slow even with controller at high setting
Carnt seem to get it right what your preferred jets and flow settings
At the moment I use a 35cm brush with either a rinse bar or 4 x 2mm pencil jets and I have my V16 controller set on 80
Hi Dave what pump you use and how long is the hose you use please many thanks Rich love the videos keep it up mate very helpful thanks again
Hi Rich
I use 100 meters of 6mm hose and a surflo pump

Sorry forgot to say keep up your videos very useful help me out loads thanks
Cheers squeaky

Have you got any thoughts on the facelift rinse bar? Would be ideal for rinsing on the glass I would have thought
I haven’t tried the facelift rinse bar but it looks very similar to the Gardiner one which I did try. It did do a good job of rinsing on the glass but I did find I banged it a lot👍
Good action vid, will give it a go and see, would be easier!! Keep up the good work
Mr B Thanks Mr B. It definitely makes life easier 👍
99 flow all the way dave for me. Faster & better results in my opinion..... Thanks as always for the upload
JD Thanks for watching JD. Got to love the high flow👍
Me the same... More water faster work... Me alone doing 60 detached houses a day ... That's for me is a go too ... 99 flow
@@lexiu6364 Too right, only way to go 🤘
Lexiu by my calculations that’s a house every 8 minutes in an 8 hour day. How you manage it that??
@@qazwerspoil he's called wash and go.
Hi Dave, love the videos, I was thinking of starting a window cleaning business and was wondering what the best type of water to use is? Is there any benefit to using a water that has more wetness than say a not so wet water? ;)
Green Pro Clean Ltd No you are much better off using dry water. You can buy it powered and just rehydrate it. I’ve got some for sale if you want👍
Hi Dave how many passes on the glass would you say it needs, just started out much appreciated
It’s hard to give an actual number as there are so many variables such as type of glass, how dirty, type of dirt, size of etc you just keep going until it’s clean.
Hey dive, do you reckon that pole is as good as a Gardner, I’ve n]been through 3 gardiner poles and they have both failed clamps, even the smart clamps, are the clamps any better?
bobbymac 131 yes mate the clamps are fantastic. Mines over 18months old now and still no sigh of wear👍
Thank for replying quickly, I have just bought the 30ft ova8, I love Gardiner Poles, however, every night I go home with hands like al Jolson, because of the wear and tear, I just never seem to get them right, either to tight or too loose, you helped my decision? So pass that on to the manufacturers 👍
bobbymac 131 I love my new hi mod Ova8. Fantastic pole👍
What brush is that your using Dave? I’ve been looking for a 4x pencil jet brush but never sure which is which. I currently use an x-line DuPont with a rinse bar which does a good job but can be a bit less accurate at times.
Hi Ben
Its the Gardiner 35cm Ultimate with 4 x 2mm pencil jets. The good thing with the Gardiner brushes is that it takes seconds to swop the jets and they have 2 different fan jets and 3 different pencil jets
@@squeakycleandave1 thanks Dave. I’ve ordered one to give it a try.
Is the pole a phantom carbon? What neck are you using with it??
Why dont you use over the top gardiners rinse bar? Wouldnt that be better because the last thing to touch the glass is the water not the bristles? Just a thought as im about to move over from rinsing off to rinsing on. What do you think?
Grandpa Reacts I did use the Gardiner over rinse bar for quite a while but it tends to spray out in different directions at times and sprays above the frame. Also I found I didn’t get a solid enough jet to clean the bits out between the cull and the bottom of the window👍
@@squeakycleandave1 Thanks for explaining that. I was thinking of cleaning the top frame with the water off but with a damp brush, then when you put brush at top of glass to rinse you will also rinse top of frame at same time. I will give it a go with both, but i was worried using normal pencil jets the bristles might leave trails on the glass. But you must have perfected it i suppose. Love your videos.
Decent video Dave. So you don't use the rinse bars any more?
Jake Taylor Keep changing my mind about the rinse bar. Some days I like it some I don’t. It good to have a change. Keeps things fresh👍
@@squeakycleandave1 fair enough bud. I've still not tried it but have been umming and erring for a while
Thanks Dave. Great advice. Will you get same results with cold water.
Hi Juan
Yes you will still get fantastic results with cold water. It’s just slightly slower
@@squeakycleandave1 thanks. Do you have a video on how to stop van freezing/water in winter?
Hi Dave, any chance you could point out difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic glass please... great video's....Morgan
Hi Morgan
Hydrophobic/ hydrophilic glass will be coming up soon in one of my quick Tips Tricks and Hacks series of videos
@@squeakycleandave1 thanks dave, when doing builders cleans, its very tricky.
@@tightmarker9924 the up coming video will just be very short showing the difference but at some stage I will bring out a more in-depth video on it
👍🏻
Thanks for watching 👍
I’m too nervous about spotting to try it Dave 😅
Steven Lee I’ve never had a problem if it’s done right 👍
Hi DAVE just wondering where you get your 4 way connect for brush head
Darren Eldo it’s from Gardiner Pole Systems👍
That’s thank you and great video 👌👌
CIRCCA WINDOW CLEANING SERVICES 👍
Also Dave, using uni valves, bought 6, one only works! Keep trying again, but still having issues what doing wrong?? Called exceed (Sam) said to to keep trying with ........
Have you connected them correctly. The piece you pull faces the bottom of the pole. Just asking.
@@kevinbillington9773
Yes watched videos, and watched again and again to make sure. Works fine on one pole. But my other 3 they start working then half way through day they stop!!! I must of had a bad batch......of them. Even tried fitting them towards the end of tube so less pull, still stops working.
Good bit of info there buddy my glass is hydrophobic and I finds Im quite happy with the clean well let's face I use a pure water additive and that's why I hardly get any spotting and I get hardly any dirt just attached a swivel head to my pole it's a marvel on the glass I can swap between my 25 ft and 4 ft poles I use a trolley system which gives me a 20 plus litre capacity which means I can do a whole house done on a tank I alter the flow rate high glass 2 litres a min and 1. 5 for lower glass this works out fine and I always check for any spotting and I find out the results are great I always get plenty of comments like how do you get your glass so clean so I explain and show them how I do it what's amazes people is how I clean windows with pure water and no chemicals this to me is the way forward I prefer rinse bar on the glass and rinsing on the glass it's a really good idea and saves time and water I been using water fed 12 years would I use traditional or water fed to clean waterfed for me it quick it's easy and I get the results I want
Watching the pros at work gives me tips and ideas so I can improve my technique more
I worked in Window cleaning over 25 years
1995 started traditional
2008 started waterfed this is the technique I prefer out of the 2
BARRY RUTTER sounds like you have it well worked out. Keep up the good work 👍
@@squeakycleandave1 thanks mate ur advice was worth it and I hope to pick up more tips from you
So you'd go through a dozen drums for around 12 houses?
Hi Dave how's the secret pole testing coming along...when's the big reveal 😜👍
FlashTechEngineering should be soon. Just got to film the last bit. Either haven’t had the right jobs or the right weather. We’ve had a lot of rain here lately and I don’t want to get my camera wet 😁
How does that tool not leave water spots?? Is it just water?
Yes it is just water but the water is filtered before use. Its normally the the impurities such as limescale that leave the marks on glass when it dries out so if you remove the impurities that leave the marks, it dries without leaving the glass clean.
I love the idea of not having to rinse off the glass but let me ask some ignorant questions! Taking the example of Gardiner brushes - some say “suitable for rinsing on the glass” and some don’t. Does this technique overcome that obstacle for brushes that aren’t advertised as being suitable for rinsing on the glass. Secondly, what’s the difference between rinsing on the glass and the cleaning the glass stage? The rinsing just looks the same but quicker. Maybe some obvious answers I’m missing but thanks for your help.
Nathaniel Leitch the brushes that say aren’t suitable for rinsing on tend to catch more bits so aren’t as good but will still work but not as well.
It is basically the same as washing the window but I pay more attention when I rinse making sure I’ve left no bits behind. You still need to scrub before you rinse to loosen up the dirt 👍
Squeaky Clean Dave thanks Dave. I was also wondering about whether it’s worth upgrading to a 35cm or even 45cm brush. I’m sure you still have the smaller brushes as well. Do you have a note, whether physical or mental, of which clients have windows smaller than 35cm that you would switch to a 26cm brush for?
Nathaniel Leitch I haven’t a single customer I can’t do that I need a smaller brush for. I sometimes have to clean the window vertically but never have to change the brush👍
Squeaky Clean Dave thanks Dave.
How many litres do you use in an average day Dave
Lee Poulter 300-400 ltr depending on the day but normally the lower end of that👍
Hi Dave is dose your your company have a number I could call for some advice on a couple of system s thanks
Hi Gary
It’s 07956222348. Give me a call tomorrow (Monday). If I don’t answer leave a message and I will call you back
Hi Dave appreciate it thanks
3mm pencil jets are amazing for rinsing on glass but flow doesn't need to be that high.... Water quantity not pressure
Crystal clean external cleaning great advice. Thanks
@@squeakycleandave1 just my opinion mate.... Great video as always... And love the new intro
Crystal clean external cleaning thanks. Intro might need a bit more work yet👍
@Clean It Worcestershire if you rinse on the glass there perfect mate... Crap for rinse off glass tho
@Clean It Worcestershire its personal preference, rinsing on the glass is quicker and with no impact on results.
Personally I can't stand a swivel head it just feels like I'm working with a broken goose neck but to each their own. I also prefer lower pressure it saves water and there is a lot less bounce back which can cause problems with the finish.
NorthernSmog if you use larger jets in the brush you don’t get the bounce back and I’ve found with a higher flow I get much more work done but we all work differently so we have to work out the best way for the way you work
