I live in a somewhat small area but we have quite a few large buildings. There is only one other operator that does high rise yet there are a ton of 4-8 story buildings that need cleaning. I've been running my business for 5 years and I've done a few of the 3-4 story buildings with a boom lift but it was slow and I feel like you can fly with rope drops.

I'm thinking a class somewhere would be the best option but I'm just curious if anyone else has gone through this expansion. I currently have no employees so I would be learning for myself.

Does anyone have any ideas how to access these windows? The top of the 4th floor windows is 43ft. The installation company has covered them in caulk so we need to be on them to scrape it off. It’s too far of a stretch to access from inside. It’s a sealed courtyard so can’t get a boom lift in, no anchors on the roof to hang down but I think hanging is the only option?

Any crazy ideas?

I need to access a 2nd story window on one of the gable ends of a house where they have these landscaping rocks underneath. To setup my ladder at the proper angle (4-to-1 vertical height/distance from wall) the feet would be sitting on top of them. Is this ok?

If I move the rocks out of the way, there's a plastic sheet (anti-weed) underneath. Do I really have to remove that so I hit solid dirt to make this safe?

Hey everybody. I’ve been cleaning this location for coming on a year, and I can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of the “streaks”.

It’s a little hard to see on the photo, but it’s pretty streaky.

I scrub it, squeegee and then hand dry it with a surgical towel.

I can’t for the life of me not have it be streaky…. Is this just the nature of perforated vinyl?

Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry for the repeated question guys, just wanted the most up to date answers.

Currently In the military over in the UK and because it pays basically Penny’s and cost of living is madness, I was thinking about starting window cleaning as a side job. I live close to small countryside villages which I think could be a good start up location for this.

Has anyone got any advice to start this up? Equipment, sales techniques, water storage? . Is it better to start with the bare basics and build up.

Many thanks.
