Sad to hear people are giving you a hard time man. Your videos jumpstarted my business in a huge way. There’s always going to be the keyboard warriors that think they know better. Your work speaks for itself though man. Keep it up man and thank you for the work you put into these videos. Trust me it’s helping a lot of us!
Same here. When I had questions about wfp I was transferred to a specialist and got to speak to Jordie. @steveo and jordie as well as Luke have been a huge help in window cleaning here in SC! Much love
This is the most helpful video!! Thank you for your advice. I’m opening up my own company this spring.
Salute 🫡 thx for the videos
You are perfect. That dirty hose on the skylight "mistake" was a great lesson for me. Glad it happened
Im amazed at the water pressure you got without a electric pump. I've been doing WFP for over 20 years. Usually around 4 and 5 story buildings. Started with the old school metal Tucker Pole. These new poles are absolutely beautiful, and much lighter. Nice vid and love your attention to details.
i still have my old school metal pole mounted in my garage as a reminder lol
I appreciate that you take the time to record, edit and upload this video here on YT for free. I wish you more business and more money.
For sure. I am sure these bring him business though, maybe not as WW custos but he makes a commission off the stuff that gets sold through his affiliate links. He does do a lot of work, and we do appreciate him.
Thank you James, much appreciated
You definitely bust it out and jam!!! Same here been washing windows 25 years you got it down. It does blow my mind how straight forward and easy jobs are on mainland compared to in Hawaii
I would love to clean in Hawaii, some day!
Love this channel thank you for not gatekeeping!
Definitely need one of these systems! It sounds like you’ve been getting a lot of hate by the way you’re talking in this video. Man I wish I was half as knowledgeable as you on window cleaning, I appreciate all the content and all the tips and tricks you give us. Love from Texas👍🏻
Thanks man.
Getting a little sick of the keyboard warriors to keep it short
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner Man I bet, but while they are sitting on the keyboards hating on you, you’re out making 💰
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner Ignore them mate 👍
This is my fav video at of all the wfp windows ive seen. Thank you for making this vid bro
You're welcome
I’m learning so much from you. You’re so brave with no safety harness on the roof🤩
Hey man just subscribed! Looking into the window washing business and learning a ton from your videos. You are a great teacher, efficient with your words and naturally informative. So thanks man. Keep it up!
Hey Steve! Thank you for putting this video together! My husband and I started our window cleaning company last year in NH. We do not have a WFP yet but we are looking forward to getting one...hopefully this year! We really appreciate all of the info you share. We have learned so much! You have a great attitude about window cleaning and life...it is refreshing! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Best of luck with your business!!
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner Thank you so much!
@@ericab7873How thé business is going 2 years later? Just curious
Thanks for your videos brother. Definitely help. I just getting into window cleaning. Your channel has helped a ton!
I would love it if you did more if these videos in the future. I really enjoyed the whole thing!
So grateful for you taking the time to make this and sharing your knowledge. You are changing lives with your generosity. Mine at least 👊 🤘 😎 🙏
Can’t wait to order one of these set ups. They look incredible!
Great video! I like how it's real life, and useful for people like me (WFP for less than a year so far).
I started watching this video over a month ago and now have just added wfp to my business 2 weeks ago, still learning a lot from this, thanks Steveo!
Great to hear!
This was a really good instructional video for newbies, but also those looking to fine tune their wfp technique. This is my go-to technique for wfp. 😎👊🏼
thank you so much for sharing this! i cannot tell you how helpful this is. great content. great communication. stoked to have found your channel.
Thanks for helping me get in the game man. Yall rock....I just closed my first large house and I'm only a few weeks in. I might actually make my bills on my first month in.
I used to install pool solar on roofs for 5 years. You need to walk on the bottom ones of the tiles. It transfers your weight on both top and bottom tiles, reducing the chance to crack the tiles. Thanks for your informational videos Steve.
Can not thank you enough for the efforts and detailed information. Thank you steve.
Very welcome
Love this style of video!! Good stuff brother
Been cleaning windows for 28 years. Great video for technique. I found that WTP systems are great for solar panel cleaning on roof tops. the angle, and height in which panels are placed makes WTP systems ideal. I have signed up 4 commercial accounts and 5 residential accounts. I live in Ohio. I have signed them up for 3 times a year. the most important time to clean solar panels seems to be late May when most of the spring pollen has fallen. Theonly problem is all our accounts need cleaned ariund this time. No sleep from mid May thru June.
Where in ohio? I'm around the cleveland area and am always wondering what the market for stuff like this is. And for pressure washing/house washing/gutter cleaning.
just added this service and found your video. I need to say: Awesome video and I appreciate you taking the time and information. I look forward to watching others you've posted to help me understand the best techniques and efficiency which will help me explain the value of WFP for my customers.
Glad it helped!
Yea man water fed I've been using it a lot but its always good to get tips I'm still learning been doing the water feed for 3 years now it's a game charger for sure
This is the best WFP video out there!!
Thank you
thanks for the video picked up my 1st system at the Huge. Starting out this season in central Fl.
Great job, great video!!
You helped start my business man thank you!!! Giving me motivation to not give up and keep growing and coming up with easier ways to clean windows definitely gotta pick up one of these!!!
You’re welcome! Happy to help when you’re ready
@SteveOthewindowcleaner is there any sales or deals you have going on? Or financing options those things can be a bit pricey lol but definitely worth it
@@SplatDaddy_ yes we do hand financing, send me a text and we can go over it 970.599.1437
I have just done my first jobs using the water pole and filter, getting great results. If there is any water spots around edges, I just use a cloth. I always clean the frames first and rinse. I wash the windows with slight solution and rinse. Everyone has there own way.
Hey stevO, been watching you since wayyy before i started my channel. Always a nice insight into the yanks way of doing things. All the best mate, keep the vids coming.
Better yet brother I can't find an email link for you, check my channel and send me an email I have a great idea.
Thanks man! I just checked out your channel! Awesome job!!!!
Very thorough clean. I do the frames tyen rinse then the glass then rinse. Saves keep going back to each window.
Awesome video. Learned alot !!
this is awesome i have a window cleaning business as well. love it
Watched the whole video thank you for making it! I’m looking forward too getting into the WFP this season have been doing trad and want to make the leap
Awesome, hit me up when you're ready and I can help you get setup! steveo@windowcleaningresource.com
I pick up very very quick on bad window cleaners and you are very thorough take pride in your work
Thank you Steven, I appreciate it
I use the same principles cleaning solar panels... initial rinse, scrub up and down all the way down, then side to side coming up, followed by final rinse. All using a di tank alone, leaving a spot free rinse. I've been thinking about adding window cleaning, so I started watching you on UA-cam.
From California great work keep it up 🤙🏼
Haha I love it StevO “if they made a Bluetooth version of a wfp that would be awesome.” Couldn’t agree more
Great video
Great video mate, thank you
No problem 👍
Great video broski. I walk roofs the same way.
awsome show Stevo!
You are working your ass off bro. Great job
Thanks for the video I currently work for the Railroad but I been wanting to start a side business and hope to be able to be my own boss
Hey Steve. You've got so much content. All the training I need!. I just bought your starter kit and used it on a $150 job today! The scrapper definitely a life saver. One question, the Tbar that comes with the kit doesn't lock onto the pole like the squeegee does. Is the Tbar with the kit meant to just be pushed on to the pole tip for use?
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it
supy helpful vid love the style keep making em
Thanks, will do!
Love your videos and the dedication to perfection. I’m curious how you turn the water off and on from your poles?
Thank YOU!
i am starting a solar panel electrostatic cleaning buisness your videos are great thank u.
That's a nice van!
Thanks, its my favorite setup I have ever had
Great Channel SteveO
Thank you Zach
Wow…I really need. Xero pole. I have an Unger nLite pole and it’s pretty heavy. My arms would have fallen off with that much pole work. But in my opinion, water fed does get them frames cleaner in a much quicker fashion. Awesome vid Steve 👍🏻
Bro I love the xero Destroyer. So worth it.
Thx for the videos
I added another 75 ft to the 5/8th hose to the water fed pole .it's a life saver and keep extra 5/8 100 ft in the van for hard to reach instead of getting a regular hose and holds the volume of the water .but in Massachusetts we get a lot of city water and we'll water
As lovely as the previous one ☝️😁
I wash frames also, and inside channel and sills... I clean screens by laying them down on sidewalk and scrubbing them with a brush and pole. No need for a screen cleaning machine. Congratulations with the knew baby on the way.. Happy 4th🇱🇷
Im not a window cleaner but do appreciate these videos. So cleaning windows using this method drys spot free because the water is RO filtered? Also, do you ever run into costumers complaining about all the water dripping on their patio? Thanks for these videos, they are very interesting.
Yes, there is no minerals in the water so with the correct agitation it drys clean. Never had a customer complaint.
I really need to get a Xero Waterford pole. I have an Unger nLite pole and it’s pretty heavy. My arms would have fallen off doing that much pole work. In my opinion, WFP work does clean them frames much better and more efficiently. Thanks for the great work Steve.
The destroyer is definitely my favorite of all time so far. Very rigid which helps so much in controlling the pole
Great video. Most frames that I see have such oxidation white Milky water has to come off 1st so I find myself scrubbing the frames as long as I scrubbed the glass which is not fun lol.
I really enjoy your videos. What would you recommend for someone just starting out with window cleaning?. I see a lot of options and equipment and want to make some sensible purchases until I can afford to upgrade. Thanks for the excellent video.
Do you need a certain type of fitting for the quick connect to the tank. I just ordered the ultimate system and get it next week. Tku. Great turtorial.
Hey Steve, I have never washed a window before and am looking to start washing locally for neighbours and stuff. What system and pole would you recommend? And are there any other tips I should be aware of? Thanks so much!
Used mine today 1st time. Lugging it up a steep ass hill with gravel sucked but it worked like a champ
Yea it can suck on hills but it glad it worked out!
hi iam from the uk .You clean the way i do frame panes and sills. i use a line rinse bar. I am a new be and good to see how you use your water fed pole in the usa.Over here i clean every six not four week like some over here.Nice video
Can you do a versus or comparison of all the Xero Pure systems
You want to walk on the bottom part of the roof tiles because that’s where the timber’s are underneath. I’ve broke a few tiles before I found that out.
Im working as a window cleaner for 13 years and wish your boab and waterfed pole were availible in Holland. The extremely high shipping cost is a real dealbreaker for me.
That larger yellow hose that adapts down to the 5/16 xero hose. Can that larger one come off of an unger ultra di tank?
Stevooooooo! 💯🔥🤙🏻
Hi from New Zealand
Out of curiosity how do you go about channels? Or window screens. Where I live everyone has screens. And wants there channels cleaned to. Which is fine. But overall do you thoroughly clean tracks when the customer has them? Like the frames?
I notice you run the hose throughout the pole like you guys send them. Pros and cons of that vs just running it on the outside of the pole? Only company I've worked for didn't run it trough the pole but don't no that there poles could or if he just prefers it that way
I've been trying to start my own YT channel for garage door repair, Im wondering how you have your gopro mounted? Great video and very helpful.
Thank you for the videos! I always think worst casenario for some reason. Have you ever had oxidation from the drip down onto the siding?
No, its always rinsed enough to not leave anything behind
After watching this video,I got waay more insight on using the wfp system. Much more work than I thought, however, gotta be better than moving and carrying and repositioning ladders. One question I have is, what if there's paint or other stubborn matter on the glass that would typically require a scraper or 0000?
It will not remove paint, silicone, construction debris. Traditional is the only way to go for that
@@SteveOthewindowcleaner I actually spoke to you once about 2 months ago over the phone. Recently I've spoken with John and he recommended a DI system and all with the portable reel. I'm tired of doing the ladder thing and wondering how I can reach a 2nd or 3rd story window without getting up on the roof especially if there is a roof below or a porch covering that extends out pretty far. How can you tell from the ground if a second or third story window is clean since you can't see that high up face to face
Hello!! Thank you so much for the video. How is business going.
What is the purpose of drip time? How does it help and how can it hurt?
Steve-O great content man I’m just catching up. I started a pressure washing company and offer window cleaning as a add on service. My question is, is it totally necessary to have the DI tanks ? What’s the consequence of not using one ? Can I get away without using one with a little extra work maybe drying or something etc etc thanks bro I appreciate your time
Awesome vid
Can anyone tell me if the water filtration is strictly necessary?
I’m just starting up and want to know if I can begin cleaning windows or if I absolutely need a resin filter system at least?
Thanks
Hey! I operated for many years with out it, it simply makes the job easier. For just getting started a Traditional kit, dawn soap and some ladders can get you very far
windowcleaner.com/products/steveos-employee-basic-starter-kit?sca_ref=3020242.k17l3JaEgS
I run 200’ of water fed pole hose and still get good pressure. It’s easier than carrying around the heavier garden hose.
Yea I just prefer the larger inner diameter hose, Ive done tests with different size hosing and I get a lot more water through the brush with the larger inner diameter then the smaller inner diameter. This is what I prefer with RODI systems, but for DI only you could definitely run 200' of the smaller hose and get great pressure.
I get that a lot too, folks asking why I’m out of breath. I move fast and take no breaks. If you’re not somewhat winded then you’re moving too slow
Hi Steve, does it mean that you don't need any soap when cleaning windows with a water fed pole? I'm trying to learn a very detail coz I'm interested in starting a window cleaning business.
Awesome video man! Question, the blue garden you use looks like it is quality, and is very manageable.any way you can post a link for it? Thanks again👍
Hey, I picked it up randomly one day from walmart and I am not sure of the brand
Just bought a X2 today today.
Awesome! You’ll love it
When I did my first job my lower back killed the next day. Does your back adjust? Or do you wear a belt?
How do you turn off your water in between sections? You have a valve or you simply « kink » your hose?
Great video man! Question for you or anyone who has more knowledge in this field, is it possible connecting the water fed pole directly to the water hose without using a filtration system. I was thinking maybe an adapter of some sort. Thanks in advance🙏
You definitely can attach it right to the water source but if you’re using it to clean glass you want the filtration for sure or you’ll leave hard water spots
Thank you For the video, What are some of your tips for doing this and 50 60ﾟ weather
Same way but longer drip time most likely
I’m sure you’ve already addressed this somewhere but where I am they have screens on the exterior. How do you deal with that with your customers? Also, I know that you don’t use a cleaning solution to start are the times and you would recommend doing that?
Not sure if you have them now, but you can get these little rollers you put near your tire so the hose doesn’t get stuck, a lot of detailers use them
Thanks for the tip!
So with water fed pole and a guy to help with the inside and outside it takes how long on This house compared to doing it yourself with wfp? Im thinking of buying this same set up maybe run 2 poles at the same time? just trying to figure out the pros and cons.
It would take an hour and a half with a helper inside, only con of WFP is you can’t use it on construction cleans and inside windows lol this is a similar setup but you would want to do a destroyer water fed pole. I can help you get setup if you contact me 9705991437
Hey Steve, when are you going to do another Q and A?
Is that just purified water? Or do you use a soap or chemical in tank as well ? Thanks
Need to talk to about a lighter WFP. I have the unit you are using but it's heavy as hell trying to get into back of my truck. I'm only 5,6 and man it's a beast sometimes if I'm up hill etc.
Give me a call man and we can talk about it 9705991437
Oxidization? I like this guy lol he makes me smile at my oxidation problems. I want a good window cleaning vehicle like a small van but the small van segment is being discontinued. What's a window cleaner to drive now?
Heyo! I actually just switched to a 2019 Chevy Silverado! Truck or van works great for window cleaning
What if the frames are REALLY dirty on the second floor? I know tradtional hand cleaning its easier to clean....But a pole with built on and caked up dirt? Can it be done
