Hi
One of my customers has replaced their double patio doors with double French type doors, the ones with loads of individual pains of glass!  Using Trad to clean the other windows - need some advise to tackle the small pains!!
Thought about cutting down an one of my old Squeegee's to the size of the pain, any other advice welcome!

No squeegee.  Two large, smooth microfibres.  One dunked in clean water and squeezed out until slightly damp (corner to corner is best).  The other one bone dry.  Maybe time to increase the price?

That's too slow for me. Two microfibre cloths, double handed technique, and use window cleaning spray. Only lightly mist them. When the microfibres get damp, change to dry ones. I use the general cheapo stuff from the coop and it actually works as well as the pro stuff, but costs very little.

As above scrim them or if not unger do a 4 inch channel which is what I use fits all small windows.

Tell them you don't do foreigners

dob the end of your T MOP on each little pane and buff dry with a clean dry microfibre.job done.

if you keep them on a regular monthly clean they wont take you long but obviously if WFP it d be faster and more effective!

If these windows take that much longer to clean, let someone else clean them and go off and get an easier customer. The beauty of this malarky is working where, when and for who you want. Why do a job that takes 30 minutes for example and get 15 quid, if you could do 2 smaller jobs at 10 quid each in the same time?

If the price don't fit the time it takes, move on. Only my opinion, but I hate filddly crap windows like that, so I don't have anyone on my books with those.

Good luck with whatever you decide though.

You had the right idea in the first place. Cut down one of your old squeegee channels to the right size and your done,  run your microfibre round the edges if you leave any residue. simple......... (I've got one cut to about 8 inches and use it on most residential windows because i find it more accurate and therefore less detailing)

Don't just microfibre it as that's something the customer could do themselves. Looks more professional too imo

I do these types of windows day in day out, I have lots of squeegees that I have cut down to fit lots of different size windows exactly, lots on here will tell you it's a waste of your time.

Personally it gives you a perfect finish every time, you will find you will use it on other jobs and the customer will be so impressed they will ask you to do the inside of the doors which you can charge more for.

Just take a spare channel with you and a hacksaw so it will fit the window.
