On a pole at height.

Why would I ?????
You've only done half the job anyway, just get a WFP and do the lot 👍

Yes understand you only do WFP work?
This is for the people that trad with squeegees.
Always handy to know when you have to clean on inside windows.

Do you get an income driving people to your videos?

But you haven't cleaned the openers - the demo is pointless
I think the technique is to be admired, I can't do it, but I find I can zap the insides quicker than that video with a pole and waffle microfibre cloth

Nice technique.

You won't because there are better methods

Got few videos show me some better methods. :)

Point taken will not eat while using computer ;D
-

It would be good if made enough to live off the videos.
This is not the reason put up videos.
But to help people that want to get into window cleaning.
Showing squeegee techniques mainly using wagtail type squeegees.
Also how to modify squeegees and generally showing new ideas to make doing WC a bit easier.
The first video we done in May 2011 on YouTube.
Since then all up including some we have deleted there would be something like nearly 250 videos.
And on average have around 150 countries watch these videos every week.
Also have 3 Face Book groups for the same thing.

Its still a good technique to master if you have the tine or inclination. It comes in handy doing high internals, and even externals on some commercial premises/shops etc.. when there is vehicular restrictions.

I wondered that but stopped clicking on them some time ago.
It seemed to me that he takes a product and tinkers with it, because he can. There never seems to be anything new and yeah, that's about it

The vids arent for me. Done trad for 14yrsand I never had a problem and now on wfp.
A silly non point tho, the slow sluggishness of the aussi accent and unprepared script just makes it a hard watch for me. Watched a couple now n well, its a silly point but hey ho

Well the slow talking may have something to do with a industrial accident had in my younger years.
Which left me unable to speak for about 1 year.
But regained it know it is a bit drawn out and slow ,sorry you think I sound silly.
-
Reasonable method of cleaning, although Id say your corner-work will leave an unacceptable state of affairs. Interesting you didn't do the narrow side panels and we haven't seen you do anything above 6'. Ive always thought that all you do is bodge up something that is already on the market as if its something new. Ive never seen you bring anything to the market that is unique or rather unique and worth pursuing.
That's about et.

H man, if you read my statement correctlyI dont think you will find that I said you were silly or sounded silly. You will find I mentioned that my point was silly, as in it had nothing to do with the topic of window cleaning......
In addition, more to do with how unscripted it all sounds etc.
On the plus side, glad you got your voice back and has served you well

OK misunderstood what you meant.

Good vid as always H Man keep on posting ;)

Can assure you most of the windows were 6 feet or more.
Could you squeegee like that on smaller windows using a large squeegee?
If so put a video up .
No that is also true, never brought anything to the market.
But have had some manufacture see some of the videos that we put up and emulated our ideas.
And one is now on the market.
Can call it bodge, we call it modification to improve the tool so the make it work easier.
-
Using the same pole swivel and technique .
You can use the water fed brush any way you want eliminates the up down actions.
At the end see how you can use it to scrub the gutter boards.

So you mean to clean the inside of these?
-
Yes also the lower glass on the windows/doors you can't get at.
-
Would of thought that this can be done by going inside and doing them with squeegee??

Just realized that you must of been talking about someone else.
As we edit our videos to keep it short and to the point of what video is about.
Also where we can, write what we said for the people that have trouble understanding me.
You may be thinking of this one??

Depending on the style as not all frames are operners and others can be sliding patio doors so you can't get at the inside of the juliet glass or the lower part of the outside of the glass behind them as are normaly a very narrow gap. The ones in question have a metal frame with a very narrow gap at the bottom and sides and also patio sliding style doors that the door pushes out and along so the gap is even narrowerto try to do from the inside. This type you would have to somehow find a tool small enough to fit in the gap of the bottom frame. Hence why I mentioned in another post I will try a wagtail jetstream to clean from the ground as my smallest stock wfp brush doesn't fit in the gap of the frame.
-
This vid shows how it can be done in principal (subjet to the design of the frame) using wfp method but doesn't show how to clean the back of the juliet glass that you would have to stand right underneath it and turn the brush around to clean the inside of the glass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKNcW230au0
At least the architect on that one though to put in french doors so could also be done from the inside too unlike a lot of numpty architects that don't even think about how to clean them afterwards.
-
So it is to clean the glass on the doors. But he didn't clean the back of the glass fence whatever you call it over your way LOL?
As said and know that the owner not always there but to at least do a one off from the inside. (trad)
It would make it easier to do after that??
