$1500 Starting Out

Squeegees + handles, T-bars and mops: 6", 12", 18"

-or-
Microfiber towels: 25 (just to be safe in case you can’t do laundry for a couple days)

Bath towels: 2 or 3 for use as drop cloths inside homes.

Paint brush, bench brush, or cob web brush for wiping sills and dusty fames.

Dish soap: Anything will do. Dawn is popular. Natural soaps like Ecover, Myers and 7th Generation are better, IMO.

Small measuring spoons (so you can experiment to find the right soap:water ratio for your needs)

Triumph 6" scraper + a pack of stainless steel blades
0000 steel wool
White scrub pads

Nylon belt
Bucket on a belt
Belt pouches for scrubbies and scraper

2 Packages of extra squeegee rubber (Black Diamond is a good bang for your buck)
Optional: Ronan Cutting tool (makes it much easier to cut nice ends on your rubber)

Extension pole: 12’ of the same brand as your squeegee and mop handles so the tip fits just right.
Ladder: Werner 13’ multi will get you everywhere you need to be below 2 stories and will fit in the backseat or trunk of a car.

Extras: Homer bucket, car wash brush, tide w/bleach alternative for cleaning screens.

Spend the rest of your money on door hangers and business cards.
