These videos are awesome, can't you get a major series commission from channel 4 or quest and make a complete series to be aired on UK tv. Really informative and enjoy watching them all

I'm from Pittsburgh Pa and I've been cleaning Windows commercial and residential for 18 years. It's awesome to watch yinz guys come together and learn from each other. I would love to have had this opportunity to do this. I know a lot and can teach alot. And I'm always trying to learn more and more everyday. Keep up the good work on both sides of the pond. He safe and there's enough glass for everybody.
Window cleaning videos thanks for your reply, I saw the fanning at the bottom. I am trying different techniques and find the straight pulls the easiest, its better than using wagtail but its just my opinion
The US crew from Tahoe use straight pulls. In an earlier episode ( follow the episodes link here th-cam.com/video/tddmQIB7R4c/w-d-xo.html )they talk about straight pulls VS fanning. Jamie whilst talking to Josh and Corey mention that they would 'two pull' this glass. They were referring to a window that Tom was demonstrating his fanning techniques on. Interestingly tho, Carrie ( Window Ninja) also from the US, did not know what the 'two pull' reference first meant as well as the Brit, Tom. So it would seem that maybe some 'terms' and maybe some glass approaches could even differ from one US state to another.
Window cleaning videos I rem that and like Tom I would only fan a window but would straight pull when using a trad pole. I find this quicker and a better result 99% of the time.Wagtail is ok but slower and the job is no better.
I think sometimes we can overcomplicate stuff, I agree. Personally, I too straight pull with a pole on big ass glass and finish up with fanning the bottom. I fan all other windows.
Don't take what the US WC'ers said as universal gospel. Those ppl are all from the west coast. And for the residential market there are a lot of wfp'ers.
It's because it's more realistic to use WFP on the west coast, they have softer water. It's one thing to make the initial investment in poles and pumps but if you live somewhere with hard water you're going to be spending thousands every year to filter the water. Or the other option is be a shitty company that doesn't keep up on filter replacements and end up leaving mineral deposits behind.

Bravo Zulu Lee!
We have really enjoyed making this... all of us have. Can't wait for the next project :)
U k's best against US average
Oh man thats fighting talk lol
Well what can say, I feel the US guys was a little out of their comfort zone.
AtkinandSon would love to see the English in an alpine terrain lol
That was very good! I hope they can get funding to come to the US and show the other side.
This is something that has been talked about recently. I would be up for that project :)
Don't forget about Canada!
Is window cleaning that different in Canada?
Depends on the city. It's pretty similar to the States. But I'm in Canada so if they're gonna film me they're gonna have to come here :P
Yes sir.
Thanks for this. I watched all 6 episodes and love it. Keep it up Lee and team!
Thank you, good sir. I get a buzz out of your enjoyment. I hope you found this series entertaining :)

Out of interest was Jay using straight pulls when using the trad pole? He was fast so interested in techniques
Yes, sir. From the top, he straight pulled with a pole, then removed his squeegee to fan the bottom section he could reach.
