Want the secret for window cleaning? Want to know how to get customers?

Make use of a pole that is water-fed. When it comes to cleaning windows, a water supplied pole is an extremely helpful item since it enables one to quickly reach high windows without the need for a ladder. Because the water is filtered, you will get the best clean possible.

Why use a pole that is supplied by water?

We do not need to put ourselves in danger by climbing a ladder in order to clean areas that are difficult to access. All of the minerals that might cause streaks on the glass are removed from the water using a filter. Window seals can be cleaned thanks to the brush.

This is of the utmost importance since one of the challenges of window cleaning is that dirt tends to get trapped in the seals of the windows, and when it rains, the windows quickly get filthy again.

If you clean the dirt out of the seals, there won't be any filth that can splash on the glass anymore.

This allows us to achieve a much higher level of cleanliness.

At the end, I'll explain how to get customers.

Setting up the water fed pole for the wash

To start, you'll need to build the pole according to the instructions from the company that made it. Check that all of the connections are properly fastened.

Clean the window

To enable the machine to filter the water, the water supply must be turned on. Glassware may be ruined by water stains caused by hard water. Because of this, I recommend that you make use of a deionizing system, which removes all of the minerals that are present in your water, allowing you to simply wash, rinse, and go on to the next window.

Because of the potential dangers, I don't use any cleaning products. We need to clean the glass carefully so that we don't break anything else in the process. You have no idea what type of ornate wooden trim is around the window.

• When you reach the first window in the row, you must immediately begin cleaning the edge of the window that contains the seal. Beginning on the exterior, work your way inside. Keep in mind that we have to start by getting rid of all of the dried dirt.
• When removing the grime, begin on the extreme left side and use water and a brush to do so. After that, go on to the upper part of the window. Take advantage of the fact that the water-supplied pole sprays water by using it to your advantage. After that, clean the side on the right.
• Now that we've reached the most crucial portion, let's talk about what sets your window cleaning business apart from the competition. Cleaning the seals at the bottom of the window with the brush and water is essential.
• The bristles will assist in removing the grime.
• All that's left now is the glass. Keep your finger on the trigger of the brush if you want a steady spray of water that has been filtered. Scrub the window in all directions, including up, down, and all around.
• Rinse for a total of two minutes. Remove all the grime and organic matter from the surface.

You should now have a window that looks brand new and will continue to be spotless even when it rains.

Coming to a Close

When you are through washing the windows, make sure the water feed pole is completely drained. This will help the pole last for a longer period of time, ensuring that it is in good working order for the next time you want it.

When it comes to washing windows, having a water supplied pole may make the task much simpler and safer overall. It is a valuable asset to have in your arsenal of cleaning tools. To get an advantage over the other businesses in the industry, you should use filtered water and not simply a squeegee.

I would advise purchasing this deionized water system from Amazon if you are just getting started. You may choose whatever pole you like since they are all the same.

How to quote as a window cleaning company?

You could charge an hourly rate, which would be between $40 and $75 per hour. If you use the method described above, each window will take between 5 and 7 minutes. You should count all of the windows and then charge between $2 and $7 for each window pane. You should be earning between $150 and $350 per house. I propose you have a minimum price.

Using the method of cleaning that I described before. You are going to obtain unbelievable results. Cleaning the window seals is very important because, unlike just using a squeegee, it will keep the windows clean for a much longer time. Be confident!

Upsell pressure washing
