new to the site.. cool!

ok... i'll be honest, i'm a lawn guy but with a couple customers asking for windows to be cleaned, it's hard to say no.

so as an amatuer i think how hard can it be... wash it up, dry it off... i know, ignorance.

So the question, what's the difference between some hack washing a window, and a window cleaned by the professionals...

technique.... materials...????

Both,

You can get by with washing with dish soap and water, but you should really have squeegee and scrubber and learn a bit. You can get pretty good money from cleaning windows.

One huge difference between a hack and a pro window cleaner is the amount of time it takes to do the cleaning. A pro is going to know how to "fan" a window to squeegee it in one big stroke. A pro is going to know when to use steel wool to get the tough stuff off, and how to use a scraper so as not to scratch the glass. And a pro is going to know pretty close to how long a job is going to take so he can bid it correctly.
