Hello!
Whenever I wash my microfibers and bath towel that I use for detailing, it smells like oil. Like car oil.
What in the world is going on? I read maybe something about steel wool?
I just did a clean without steel wool today though and it still smelled while washing it
Any input is appreciated!
Hey pros 👋 I am running into alot of storefront windows that top out at 8-9'. This South Florida heat makes it a race to switch between scrubber and squeegee on my Ettore extension pole before the solution starts drying. Not to mention detaching and attaching all day is a chore.
Do they make a device that will clip on to my Ettore Master Brass Channel that I can add a scrubber, similiar to the F*liq?
Thanks for any advice 🙏🏼
Been doing door to door making 700-1300~ a day but want to pivot into having a real business and doing service plans because frankly I hate knocking. Yesterday I sold my first service plan and all I did was write down his information. What's the best CRM for someone who does door to door exclusively?
Here's what I have planned. Roast away. I'll take any and all advice. Thank you.

I'm working a neighborhood this week, and on the sides of the house there are tons of tiny black dots (maybe bug poop, fungi, etc) on the frames and windows of these houses. I already used steel wool on them which mostly worked but was extremely time consuming. Is a walnut pad a better choice? Is there a better option I'm not aware of for typical tough-to-clean dots?
Thanks!
Can someone recommend a squeegee for at-home use. Everything I have tried so far has failed (or else its operator error). Thanks in advance for your help!
I’m wanting to start my own window washing company, as I live in a rather large town, and after doing some serious market research, it seems that only a couple of companies offer it, and it’s usually one of their secondary or tertiary services.
I own / operate a pair of other successful businesses in my city, but they’re nowhere near this industry. However, I would effectively start off with a Book of Business full of contacts, who trust me, in all of the biggest commercial properties in the city.
My question ultimately boils down to this: How do I start?
I’m not asking about getting a business license, or registration of an LLC, or that kind of stuff. I’m talking about equipment.
I am happy to buy something that’s $500 over something that’s $50, as long as it’s 10x more valuable. However, I would like to be reasonable off the bat.
Additionally, to be pretty candid, outside of studying YouTube and this subreddit for the last week, I know not a ton about the job as a whole. So if I were to just go out and do it today, I’d likely forget to bring 99% of what you guys would tell me.
Thanks in advance!
Me and my boy started this window cleaning thing a couple months ago, every time we got money we re invested , we now have good equipment, (not a water fed pole YET) a truck in 2 months, and buisness cards, everytime we get work we get great compliments and we get good money, how can I get more clients , also how do I get stores on the streets to do, if I could put any stores on a weekly I know I have some income coming in mo matter what, any tips help..
This was on wednesday in the heat. There was a gazebo making it very difficult to get the angel I needed with my wfp. Looking back I probably could have used the wfp while on the ladder somehow instead of taking out the pitch hoppers on the hot roof but we got it done. Customer was very happy👍🏼
Edit: Don’t do this
I need help
Worked in 98 degrees F today, about 70% humidity. Not trying to brag, I felt horrible, dizzy, headaches afterwards. Had half a gallon of electrolytes and chugged 4 glasses of water from the client and still felt horrible. Could barely finish the job.

Anyone else have this issue with the Xero rinse bar? This is the second one I’ve had to buy at this point I’ll just buy the aluminum one but it’s frustrating that it’s happened twice in the last 2 months
I am honestly not sure if this is the right place to ask this. I've been trying hard to clean this pane of tempered glass (image is just a small part of the glass) for a long while and I've tried most DIY methods but nothing really worked against this. The cause for this is unknown since i just bought it for cheap. Can this even be fixed? And if it can, whats the best solution?
I have been trying window cleaning for a decent bit of time now on and off, I'm looking to take it completely seriously but my biggest issue is using squeegees, I have bought high end unger squeegee and rubber but yet it is horrible no matter what. My guess is the rubber and I would like to know what is the best rubber to buy (for residential mainly if that matters). I also was thinking about wfp system, but I do not have a van, only a car, what would be a good starer setup? All help is very much appreciated.
We are fully operational this week and looking for business, but I hate D2D, even though I'm a good salesman. I just think solicitors are annoying lol
Did any of you begin with advertising that didn't include D2D? Is it just a necessary starting point? Are there other methods you prefer?
Thanks!
It went well. Did everything , inside outside screens and tracks. Underquoted at 350$ but got a 70dollar tip so it made my hourly reasonable. I’m a small solo guy starting out but I’m trying to have minimums so when I grow I’m not broke but busy.
This entire window thing was an idea 9 months ago. Now I’m out here doing it. Just tooting my own horn a bit but I’m proud of myself.
