Stevo - Prince of the Window Cleaners!
After stealing all his ideas from the Youtube channel I figure I owe him this much.
Stolen from Stevo - ideas maybe not new to you but new for me.
Ideas I offer up
Plastic six inches blades - when used correctly and save you rubber and your sanity on CCU. I know some people don’t like them. It’s not a cure all and never claimed to be a full replacement for metal blades - it’s to be used in a system of work if scratches are likely with metal.
The Melamine white pads - ideal for removing silicon - even faster than a metal blade.
The Flip n Lite Stepladders from Little Giant - they are heavy duty mostly for indoors but excellent quality.
The Ramsey Triangular ladder. I doubt you’ve seen this - looks like that -
It’s perfect for uneven ground outside on CCU - which is common. It’s great because the head or bonnet bit rests on the window - wall edge so you have full access to the frame and glass without the trouble of a wobbly stepladder and it’s faster to carry it about.
I stole ideas from Luke too - the one that comes to mind is the squeeze bottle on a holster.
I upgraded this by going to a Condura 1000 nylon bottle holder which is a modular pouch system soliders use. The bottle holders sold on the window cleaning websites are not substantial like those are. I got a lot of different molle pouches for window cleaning kit - they come in all shapes and sizes for tools.
Yep, Steve cleans windows like I do…almost to a “T”-- nice to see someone know what’s up.
I see Steve and Luke sometimes using a small six inch squeegee to mop down sills.
It makes sense but I feel like I’m doing something wrong. Maybe will change my ways one day. Too used to using a wet cloth after my detailing dry scrim - but I might change to those surgical towels.
Foreigners and their strange ways!
I think the 6 is just so you aren’t damaging your squeegee rubber getting the water off the frames (Instead of using your 20 inch or 22 inch?). I don’t do it that way, but it makes sense I guess. No right or wrong way to clean windows, I just like they are efficient and that’s all you need in this business…it is not a race, but you just get into a good pace
Think I have the skills but I need to improve how I manage cashflow. I want a nice tight loop between incomings and outgoings so the business is growing at a constant rate.
We shamelessly have learned from Stevo as well. Sadly, the worst head that I purchased was rated the worst by him. I didn’t listen…
Here you have a easy to make DIY pump sprayer holder. You can pump it while on the belt. Fast on /off belt.
Great idea!
Hey this is a really neat idea. I could see that added to my arsenal
Would have been useful this weekend. I was using a pump spray with ipa to prespray a giant corporate building with oxidized aluminium on the glass.
