    Great video. A lot of good advice. In the UK our homes tend to be built out of brick, blocks or rendered so have a lot of mortar or concrete on them which can be a real scratch hazard

    Good vid mate. I can highly recommend gumption to use on glass tempered glass with lots of concrete or render on. Also using a pump sprayer to prewet and soak the glass and frames helps with construction cleans that have a lot of “builders art” on them.

      I am cleaning construction windows for 30 years in Kanada.Here are some TIPS.
      1-Check the windows,frames ,tracks etc. ,if there is any mortar,brick or other damage before estimating.
      2-Check if all construction work completed like painting etc.
      3-You are there to clean the windows once only.
      If any tradesman makes a mess on cleaned windows ,you charge extra to clean again.
      4-If you are cleaning supermarket or big box stores,you should start cleaning before FLOOR waded and displays set up.If you need to use zoom boom or aerial lift be careful about ,damaging floor finish .
      5-Do not take any scratch responsibilities on windows.for any damage on contracts.

    I’ve been a window cleaner for many years I think at least 15 years and I always use water with dish soap you get a razor blade with a scraper you use the steel wool apply everything the window in the water or the water in the soap to the window, scrape it go throughshit again and then squeegee it. That’s the best way to do the windows.

    I used to not like construction cleans, but as I've learned about the various types of glass and products available, I've grown fond of them. I like to try to work in the sun as much as is possible on em, because everything shows up clearly. I'm gonna try the magic eraser. I usually use acetone (brake parts cleaner) on a cotton cloth to remove silicone. Another handy thing is Bioclean. It removes hardware mineral deposits, paint, glue, just about anything from the glass without damaging the surface. Great for that tempered glass side with the silica specs embedded on the surface. Have you noticed that tempered glass is usually smooth on one side?

    • @lawrenceshdow
      @lawrenceshdow 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Tempered glass should be smooth on both sides. Ideally. But when the heated glass rolls over the rollers any dust or anything permeates the surface. I notice lots of shitty glass at my builders. Also why I've upped my price on French doors and stuff by about 5x. Amazingly; these builders so far haven't questioned it. I'm sure some cheapskate will get pissed at some point though.

    • @myotheraccount5947
      @myotheraccount5947 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@lawrenceshdow Not many people know why the tempered glass is like that. You are correct. It's lack of maintaining a clean facility in the glass factories. Silica dust and specs sticking to the rollers. I have found that they usually don't take a lot more time to clean than smooth glass, but 5x??? If they'll pay it, I guess 🤯

    shi** been fighting silicone for 23 years on glass never thought of magic erasers
    always worried about em as they do change the sheen on paint essentially
    super fine sandpaper effect
    i guess its a 0000 equivalent in terms of impact on glass?

      New construction where I am is 10 lower level; 15 second story and up for exterior. Inside is 7 to 10 per pane including frames.
      So a construction lower level in and out would be about 20 dollars. Now; some builders will never pay that. But the luxury home builders usually are more concerned that you are easy to work with and somewhat flexible with schedules.
      This is just my experience in Minnesota. Im sure its way different certain places.
