#squeegeeslinger #wfpwigglingwagglers - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Wow what a guy you are , completely change my familys life’s , 8 months ago I borrowed £200 for ladders and some squeegees etc , no I have work every day of the month and all day , I have different jobs from terrace houses, pubs and million pound house now on my list , stuck to what you said , face book never stops for jobs , I even have to ignore some as I’m to busy , also the amount of people who have come to me because of them water fed pole guys are not doing a good job , thanks again Trad man 👍🪟🙂🪜🧼
Fantastic!! Keep up the great work 👍🏻
How did u start getting commercial clientele?
I know I never even heard of window cleaning until last year!
And it’s insane!
Having reoccurring money coming in from window cleaning jobs is awesome!
Can't believe that this is what my life has come to, watching a 45 min video on TH-cam about trad window cleaning while drinking wine. Love it, keep it up matey 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Especially when the tops can be done wfp which saves time and makes you safer.
Been doing this 31 years now and don't use ladders but still do bottoms the traditional way.
No need for the risk of ladders now but if you are happy with that the keep it up Peter as you are a great trad cleaner.
Just personal choice with ladders though.
better than watching someone crunch on eggrolls and other crunchy foods
@@staffalonsgaming6345 I don't care what the customer prefers lol..I work my way and that's it.
Got the back injury and deformed fingers from ladder falls to show why I don't use them anymore..
24 years on ladders is enough..been wfp on tops for 7 years now.
Have you tried weed instead of wine.
The Bob Ross of window cleaning! I love it!
Love the explanation. No music just talking works for me.
Had a small window washing business a couple of years back and getting back into it, this video was a great refresher and picked up some new tips also! Cheers!
Superb!
If you ever fancy further training, check out www.tradmanacademy.com 😉
I like your attitude. Thanks so much for your time and your insights from Spokane Washington U.S.A!
😁👍🏻 I was trained by an old school carpenter, my dad. He always said if your going to do a job, do it properly. That stuck with me and I've always done my best to get as good as possible results for my customers.
Hi Tradman. Really nice video. Without music! Calm and easy to listen and watch👍
First time here, beginning window cleaning and power washing business this week and you’ve helped me feel less anxious about it
Fantastic 😉
How’s it going?
Without the music, this is some great ASMR content.
thanks for your service
Brilliant video, love to watch a fellow traditional window cleaner doing a brilliant job.
Thanks kindly ☺️
Great video and perfect timing I'm just starting out 👍
Excellent Channel. Most informative and not a music video. Learnt about the very interesting ladder. So cool. Thank you Sir.
Brilliant! 😊🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great! To be watched many times.
😎👍🏻
Great tutorial as usual and I also find more job satisfaction after doing windows traditionally especially after using the trad poles on windows above plastic conservatory roofs
Nice one 😉🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great video, very useful thanks
Thanks Peter for your channel, this is very inspiring for me. Love those deep detailed videos explained.
Brilliant 😉👍🏻
Brand new to the window side of things but been pressure washing for years so adding windows in 2022 subscribed to your channel and I appreciate the gems 💎 you drop and have a great be year
#littlespressurewashigservice #washon #2022
Love your video I’m from Bathurst New South Wales Australia just starting up a maintenance business and you’ve taught me a lot thank you very much. Alan Brown
Fantastic! If you ever need one to one training, I now run 4 or 8 hour training sessions online. Check out www.tradmanacademy.com for more details.
All the best buddy!
Literally took your advice and used it to start my own business. And it's all thanks to you man!!
Thats absolutely brilliant and exactly why I like to make videos. Being able to help folks is superb.
All the best with the business and stick in buddy 😊🤜🏻🤛🏻
A most superbly clearly explained and demonstrated video sir,well done.
Glad you found it useful my friend
Молодец, красиво моешь окна)) Здоровья, добра, больших заказов.
Nice work.
Fantastic I really like the way you get the water off the windows that's what I'm going to be watching for to learn how to get that down to the nitty gritty I have a bunch of Windows to do and that's very very good the way you do it thank you so much I'm in the United States and Texas. And I like your ladder.q
Great stuff! It's just practice buddy, they are great tools for getting the job done efficiently. All the best!
For someone like me just starting out in the business I have to say this is one of the best instructional videos I've seen, no music is why I picked your video to watch, and you showed us the job from start to finish, you did an excellent job by the way, I have just about all the water fed pole gear needed to do the job, but I also want to be able to offer customers a choice of WFP or traditional, no doubt I will get customers that won't like the thought of me leaving the frames and glass wet, which is why I'm in the process of buying a full kit of traditional gear, thank you for taking the time to make this video and for showing us the gear you use, my mind is now made up on which ladder to buy, one last thing, which brand of soap do you use ?, cheers Trad Man and all the best for the future.
I usually use fairly liquid. Available in most places. The premium ones work very well 😉
I’ve just started, I’m in Nashville, Tn, and I have a 14” ninja and I got the new moerman 18” excelerator with the 3.0 liquidator channel. I’m practicing everywhere I can, work, home, jiu jitsu, but I’m having a hard time with leaving lots of detailing. And trying to use it on a pole is even tougher. Today I noticed that when I switch to my left hand, I’m almost 80% better, but still trying to teach my right hand. I have been watching a ton of your videos lately and practice using a Scottish accent lol. Thanks for the videos!
Hey i also have the 3.0 channel and it gave me a ton of trouble with it just skipping over water when i first started using it, to the point where i didnt use it entirely. Then i saw a video somewhere of someone boiling the end clips and bending them back so they basically are parallel with the channel and it works perfectly now, Just a suggestion if you might still be struggling with it
Haha brill, keep practicing and apply soap to the applicator 😉
Honestly you don't need to bend clips, applying soap to the washer and just practice 😉
Great video as usual Tradman👍 I've been using the new Moerman 3.0 channel and end clips for a month or so.
I found them through CLEANING SPOT based in London.
I usually use Window cleaning warehouse for supplies, but they have taken a while to get them in stock.
I think you will be impressed with the new clips. I find they do perform alot better, they just feel more forgiving on the glass , less issues with streaks and lines!👍😀
Sweet! Sounds good 👍🏻
Traditional all day everyday 😎
Great job learned a ton from you!!
😉👍🏻
⭐ WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE SQUEEGEE AND WHY?
COMMENTS BELOW
Unger green then ettorre. Are you using the 3.0 end clips?
Just got them today
@@TradMan I have had mine for a couple months. Not sure I care for them. I guess I am use to the 2.0 clips.
It's taken a long time to get them here for some reason
My favourite squeegee is the Unger Ninja , cause Peter talked me into it & it just feels like a great quality squeegee. Love the feel of it & way it's put together.
Brilliant video, love the no music. Thanks for your hard work!
Great that you put a ladder tie in the drivers footwell!
means you won’t drive off without putting ladders on properly, I have seen it where people put ladder on roof once finished job then get distracted with something then totally forget to secure it down as the ladder ties have been in the back of van and they haven’t noticed and drive off, only to break at the traffic lights and the ladder come flying forward and through the car window in front!
Yeah my dad taught me that little gem when I first started. Good habit to do 😉
Keep up the great work mate! Satisfying watching your videos. Know a professional window cleaner when you see his/her work.
Thanks very kindly, really appreciated 🙏🏻
Well done mate. That's a really nice job you're doing there. I'll be doing something similar here in Brazil coz I'm a Newbie on this but I'll get there as well eventually. I've already got everything in line to start ordering as my starter Kit. Wish me luck buddy. All the best to you guys over there...
Great vid as always trad man.theres just something about trad work that's mesmorising to watch and do wish my customers would ask for it more often lol.
Thanks for watching 😎
Very nice !!!! Appreciate zero music, just thoughtful intelligent narrative
Thank you Kind 😊 much appreciated 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Glad to see you back in shape mucker, you were missed. Great to be able to get back into your videos. I love the fish pond analysis mate, your defo onto something there. Oh and enjoy your new bike. By the way mate, i am very surprised a man of your detail, would leave that spiders nest in the corner of the door , around the 39th minute mark! Explain yourself young man! 🐝🐝🐝🐝
Haha cheers buddy. Yeah I felt sorry for the wee rascals so just left em 😉😉🤣🤣🤣
@@TradMan I swear to you Peter, I tend to do the same I hate killing God's creatures 😊
Be a big fish in a small pond, not a small fish in a big pond. The window clean and go is what I call " slap and tickle" race to get it done, round every corner leave water on the sill. Moerman needs to make a variety of sizes. A Excelerator 1.0 makes a great handle for a 6” channel.
Great video mate, I’m going to start out on the west coast of Scotland soon, initially part time, learning off a local window cleaner, definitely get better results with trad if you can manage it👍☀️ If you go to booker you can get 100x disposable gloves for 6 odd quid for your information.. will save a few pounds if you have a store nearby.
Thanks pal appreciate that 😁🤜🏻🤛🏻
Love the video. I use the liquidator too. But I cut mine down to the corner cut and its close but definitely not zero detailing
😉🤜🏻🤛🏻
Traditional window cleaning offers a finished product that grants you the confidant.
Thanks for your video. Super interesting as always. I love the way you explain everything without music. One question only: How do you decide where to stop detailing? You detail the door but leave the frame on top full of spider webs. See 15:35 and on. I understand you must stop somewhere or else you can clean all framework of the house, but to me the door is an eye catcher and should be clean, including the top frame?
Good vid. Cif cream cleaner is another good one for cleaning white pvc 👍
Awesome 👌🏻
@@TradMan Keep up the great vids buddy, learning a lot from your clear advice and guidance. Really nice approach
Thats brilliant! Really glad your getting something from the videos 😊👍🏻
As you know I'm old school LOL I enjoy working Traditionally but I've switched to WFP on certain jobs ie leaded windows which is why I've ordered a Gardiner Backpack
Yeah I use a wfp on some jobs to, leaded windows, awkward to get to, leaded etc. But straight forward windows I do them trad 😎
Good video bud. Used moerman for the last 4 years. Love the unger green rubber or the red rubber.tryed the blue moerman rubber and its crud get about 2 houses out of it and its fecked lol.
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Pete good to see you back. Moerman 2.0 is my friend 😁
Thank you kindly, really appreciated! 🙏🏻
I do prefer the chat to the music more information love the videos keep up the good work buddy
Ok cool 😎🤜🏻🤛🏻
So satisfying watching these videos i never knew how enjoyable watching this work being done could be😂😂
Seriously considering a career change😊
Brilliant 😁
What a way to spend bank holiday weekend watching Tradman 🤣👏
🤣🤣🤣
do you remember when gloves were cheaper? miss those days.
Well said about the waterfed poles mate...they should be used only when absolutely necessary. The guys have no ladder legs...
The best way to clean a window is by getting your face to the glass....
100%. If its safe and easily accessible, then can't beat a nose to glass finish. 😊👍🏻
cracking job,
do you ever do insides for customers
Thanks kindly ☺️
Yes we do internals to 👍🏻
Thanks for watching 🤜🏻🤛🏻
TM
I was trad from 1991 to 8 years ago then went wfp
Found that there is a lot more money in it working like you than just splash and dash everything
Working in Hertfordshire and Greater London and easily making nearer to £300 a day doing the job slow and steady but 100% bang on
Since knowing Bob Hatt and playing around with liquidators since prototypes I have got to the point that wfp is useful but trad is 100% spot on and often quicker
Great to hear your feedback. Its refreshing to hear there are folks out there still focused on doing a great job and not just an ok job, and not looking for the fastest method, as often is the case more speed less quality
Good video again Trad-Man 👍 You are a good inspiration to us window cleaners I've been having problems lately with having to jump fences and gates ( back access) and barking dogs in the hot weather 😫Do you get this on your round ???
Thanks pal! Happy if the videos are useful 🙂
Yeah sometimes I have to climb the odd thing but since using squeegee app, I send automatic reminders to customers the night before the clean to ask for the gate to be unlocked. 9/10 times that works.
If you haven't tried the app before here's the link. There is a free version to try and see if it's for you
SQUEEGEE APP - app.squeeg.ee/signup/trad-man
Hope your keeping well pal
@@TradMan thanks for your reply I'll try the squeegee app 👍
😊🤜🏻🤛🏻
In the US we have to inside and screens so i don't ever clean all the frames that great just a quick wipe
So my question is... how much did you charge for that job? 100 pound? 150 pound? I can see just the outsides as being a 30 min job. Just curious. I love that you are detailed and no just a "window cleaner".
What a brilliant tutorial. Lacking any talent whatsoever, my method involves around a hundred scrims per window. (exaggeration alert)
i don't seem to go any slower though.
Anyway, Good tutorial.
Could you give us a rough estimate on what to charge for some houses like how many windows etc ?
I have a question when cleaning the extra soap off the window with rag. should it be damp or dry?
Hi buddy love your videos, definitely you are turning into my life coach and appreciate your videos. Have a question as I see in this video you wear a harness. Looking for similar. Could you let me know which one you use and if it has a belt. 👍
Magma tool belt harness from amazon 😊
@@TradMan Thanks for that 👍
Great bid as always, Trad-Man! I noticed you don't cut your rubber to the shape of the 2.0 end clips. Does it work just as well without cutting it??? Honestly that's been my biggest issue because I always end up making it a hair off and it throws everything completely off.
Hey buddy! Thanks 👍🏻
Yeah makes no real difference cutting the angles, I've done it like this for about 2 years or so now. 😊👍🏻
Great video mate, am just about to start out on my own window cleaning business here in Ireland, I'd love to pick your brain a bit more if you wouldn't mind, what's the best way to get hold of u.
Hey, thanks, man. I'm helping a friend out tomorrow who happens to run a window cleaning business.
Figured I'd get an idea of the job so that I can be of use to him :)
Anyway, your video was quite useful, thanks!
Superb 😉
Hi mate, great vid, saw that you don't cut the rubbers to the shape of the liquidator, does that work?
yes
does the unger green rubber fit on the moerman 2.0 liquidator channel? nice video :)
Yeah sure does. Get unger green clips to. They help hold the rubber nice and snug 👍🏻
Thank you for the great video! How long would a job like this normally take you?
30 mins roughly
Also do you use pure water mate or normal...thanx Dave😊
Hello brother i really like thise job can i ask how much you get it for thise house
Can you link your small squeegee for wiping bottom of window ledge?
Just wondering if the 27 rung is the 3.5m as I'm thinking about getting one .Great video 🪟👍🏻
Check out the ramsey ladders website 👍🏻
What kind of camera do you film on? Also, great video!! 👏🏾
Gopro normally. Thanks kindly ☺️
Hey, great video, I was wondering how much you charge for a house like this and if there is a certain price per window or if it's based on time. Also what towels do you use and for what do you use them for. Thanks!
I do count the windows to give me a starting price then add any extra for difficult areas or tricky windows.
For detailing I use unger ninja microwipes. For frames and sills we use unger microfibre sill cloths
Hi pete mate, great video, as usual. Comments that come to mind...funny and sympathy with the wasps trouble, you avoided that one 😉. Stingers never got you neither, ...pro...you close out mostly on the right, your rubber will probably wear out on your left?
Don't forget to tell the viewers, only work 2 handed on the ground floor only. Does that Samurai 2 insert really 🤔 work?
As for the applicator, I am trying to invent a device capable of holding the applicator horizontal, instead of vertical....seems to me that it would solve it drying out and being too wet on one end.
Do you honestly rate those microfiber cloths, over nice thin scrim?
Thats it for now, you certainly looked 👌 like you were enjoying the day.....thats the essence of our trade eh Pete....Nice one from me, God bless you bro.
Yeah the cloths are good, had em for years. Samurai version 2 seems to work ok so far. It's not perfect but does the job better than most at holding excelerator squeegees
I hate artillery fungus spores Always a pain to get off the frames.
What soap did you use? I’m wanting to learn window cleaning and I want to make sure the jobs is done right with the right supplies.
I use fairy liquid most of the time but any dish soap will do.
If you require training, check out my website to book a half or full days tuition.

What’s that ladder like in the winter mate? Like wet and icy ground?
It's fine in the wet. I wouldn't use ladders on ice. I would use extension poles if it's icy
Where can i get that ladder?? Great video,im just starting out. Do you always work alone on ladders??
I buy my ladders from Ramsey ladders based in Scotland
Still love my unger ergotec, but practicing with the moerman accelerator.
Did you say Samurai boab? Haven't heard of those? Where did you get those?
I bought it from a store in Australia. World of window cleaning I think it was
@@TradMan thanks mate, I will have a look.
Its not cheap like lol. But for using excelerator squeegees I've found it to be one of the best. Version 1 wasn't great but version 2 with rubber insert in the squeegee divider is better
@TRAD - MAN THE WINDOW CLEANER I use WFP mostly, but I do use trad for internal cleans and restaurant cleans. Mostly commercial work blocks of flats and offices, where the use of ladders is a no no. I was shocked that you used the moerman without the angle on the rubber just a straight cut, also wetting the rubber before using it on the glass. I do find that when using the Moerman on the pesky restaurant windows that are about 6'4 high and about 2' wide, I find that the squeegee leaves an area of about an inch on the left hand side of untouched soap, unger squeegees do not. I prefer the Moerman on these windows, as they are the flat bifold type windows with thin rubber seals that the ungers can get the edge of the squeegee rubber lift ofF the glass, if you know what I mean, so you have to be really careful with that. The Moermans clips help keep the rubber against the rubber window seal, but this inch of soap it leaves is annoying as I then am having to sweep back up to clear it again and I feel it is a technique issue, not a tool issue. I use the Moerman angled rubber in the channel.
Any advice?
No sarcastic responses from the rest of you 😁😉
If your following a similar set up to me ie soap on applicator, rubber flush at the end of the clips then its just practice practice buddy 😎
Hi .The question I have is regarding the sea squeegee you use at 19.06 of your video. I presume you just buy a handle and cut down a rubber squeegee? thanks and keep up the good work
Yeah any size needed below 10 inch has to be cut to size unfortunately.
Thanks kindly
@@TradMan thanks much appreciated
Hi could you tell me where you got your ladder from please much appreciated cheers !
Ramsey ladders
Hey trad man great job, what soap are you using?
Fairy liquid bud
@@TradMan cheers mate, be fryer everything and keep returning to original fairy
Yup can't beat it
How much do you charge for a property like the one in the video?
Where did you get that small squeegee? Can't seem to find any smaller than 15cm
Window cleaning warehouse or window clean centre
No idea how you get it so smooth Pete. I had a slightly better day of it yesterday but still get some ruddy turn marks and residue down the sides!
Lots of practice. When I first started with the tool it did my head in to 😉
@@TradMan looks like I’m heading to Scotland for some training!
🤣 I always say to folks focus on being precise, take your time. Once you get the techniques down you can speed up a bit.
@@TradMan Thanks mate. I’ve got just a handful of customers as it’s my second job but they’re all really happy with what I do. Just need to get faster. Appreciate the replies 👍🏼
The speed will come, just focus on your technique to make sure the results are 100%. Really the speed comes from not making mistakes and no detailing, not from physically going fast 😀
Great video as always. I so wish I could make the Moerman work. It’s obviously me but just can’t crack it ☹️
Thanks pal 🤜🏻🤛🏻
What kind of problem are you having? Happy to help 👍🏻
@@TradMan Thanks 👍 Turn marks and not great slip over the glass, and quite a bit of detailing. I’ve been using Unger Ergotec channels and handles for 20 years with, in the last few years, the Razrblade Red rubber and have none of these problems (apart from expected detailing). As I say, it’s obviously me. I’ve just looked at your vid about using the Moerman squeegees so I’m going to have to practice some more. Do you have a list of must do’s for success?
Yup sure so
1. After dunking applicator in clean water. Apply soap directly to applicator sleeve.
2. Make sure your squeegee rubber is flush at the ends of the clips. Not too long or short.
3. Pin the rubber in place. I use unger green insert clips which hold the rubber better and lessen the chances of lines/streaks caused by rubber pulling out from the channel during use.
4. Choose a good rubber. Personally I've found the best rubber with Liquidator Channels are ettore master soft and unger green power rubber. Some folks really like razor red but I find it too grippy on the glass in liqs.
Try those tips if not already, and other than that it's practice, practice and practice some more 😎
@@TradMan That’s brilliant, thanks 👍 I’ve only used the Moerman channels in an Ergotec handle - is it better with the Moerman handle?
More options with an excelerator handle 😉
Just got the liquidator channel do you still use the unger clips on it? Seems like out of the box the rubber moves around a lot and leaves streaks.
Also are you on Instagram? Thanks 🤙
I still use unger clips, and I use unger green rubber. Moerman squeegee rubber is not very good.
Nice to hear you learnt your trade from your father, is he affectionately known as Trad Dad?
Yeah sure is lol
Great video man.
How do you keep your motivation up all the time? 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
💰
I get satisfaction from doing a good job. Don't get me wrong some days I canna be bothered but think you get days like that in any job. I focus on doing a good job, and enjoy the peace and quiet to
Lol Craig!
Try to see different ways you can improve? You may be really good at technique but can you improve at scheduling or at providing a friendlier service? Find ways to enjoy it
Great advice 👍🏻
Where did you get your bucket on a belt.
Window cleaning world. It's in Australia

Hi! what kind of water do you use?

Just tap water for traditional work
how do you get no streaks while using your squeegy on windows? i just started doing window cleaning and i was practicing and I hate getting streaks that im afraid once i do my first ever house they aren't going to like it. do I use vinegar? pls help me.
Water and a little bit of dish washing liquid applied to your window cleaning applicator.

I think the small sots on the frames are spider poop!
