Aldreth, of course we’re all very happy to help you, but Steve is right about the search function. You’ll get answers quicker (cause they are already there waiting for you). But another major benefit is that you’ll really get more feedback because you’ll get the combined wisdom of many pros including ones that may not be actively posting anymore. On top​ of that, you’ll find that one thread leads to another, so you’ll end up getting absorbed and finding things you didn’t even know to ask.
Don’t hesitate to keep posting, but i would encourage you to search first, read all you can, and then post if you still need more help.
when it’s dirty. seriously though, we dunk a clean mop into our solution bucket and then the rest of the time we re-wet our mops from our bottles so our water never gets dirty.
I use my 18" a lot. Around here the windows get too dirty for a flip pad so I reserve that for small commercial and residential. Adjust squeegee size based on the job. My favorite is my Moerman 18" but some of my commercial accounts are panes 9 feet by 9 feet with 60 panes that an 18" would take all day to do so I swap up to a 30". I own a 60" blade as well that has some uses here and there but to be honest I bought that because it is a fun “toy”.
Ettore 30 Super Channel. Hands down my go to with big windows. Never had any issues with leaving water and if you practice you can fan with it. You can pull also all depends on what your comfortable with. You can even half pull and close out fanning.
As for the water change we use a 2 bucket system 1 bucket filled with clean water and dump amount needed for the job in the other bucket, after the job toss out that water wipe out and you ready for next job. This way you always start with clean water and I’ve noticed we used less water this way
I’ve been using search bar guess I need to use more precise keywords.
As for the haze I was talking about, I look at the glass and it looks perfect until there’s light hitting it and then you can see every little mistake
As big as you can handle. Time is money. That being said, a 22" is the biggest channel you can use in a boab
Don’t use windex. Use only a little soap. Unless you’re doing a greasy restaurant and then use more.
When do you change your underwear? When you can’t see the bottom is a good indicator that you should have changed your water a few jobs back. If you’re doing route, then yeah, the water can be a lot dirtier than if you’re doing residential. Keep it fresh for residential, do what you have to with route. But you should carry an extra 3 or 6 gallons with you just in case you need it.
18 mop/22 squeegee
My solution wont leave a haze (but just by looking)
I change water every day. I dont dip mop in clean water.
