Window Cleaning Squeegee Techniques Group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1518240848433312/


WE HAVE 40 PLUS VIDEOS TO WATCH
 Group is for the people that want to learn the techniques to use window squeegees.
 Found when starting out window cleaning.
 There weren’t that many places to get info regarding techniques on squeegeeing windows.
 By hand or using poles
 So this group is here to help people that like to see how it is actually done with different squeegees.
Including Wagtail and swivel type squeegees.

Understand there are many people know how to use a squeegee.
However there are many new to cleaning.
That may want to learn and this is for those people.

There is more than few established cleaners on here who have started in
the 8-9 years since ive been using this forum that have benefitted from help from
info about trad cleaning all the way to wfp on here with links to vids etc.
don't see the problem trying to help others
Do you think is an exclusive club you have joined...maybe you should
pull your head out your arse matey ;D

Great to see you on here Herman but your time will probably be wasted on here.

I have joined the group as would love to improve my trad skills. They are certainly not what they were 14 years ago lol. Turn marks everywhere lol.

Ignore the ignorant few you will come across on here and carry on.

Same here, I wouldn't mind improving my squeegee skills especially on interior cleans where you
are restricted on the amount of liquid you can put on the glass.
Will give it a go. Cheers

I just can't believe that some of you established window cleaners can't squeegee, that's comedy gold, it's like a football player not knowing how to kick a ball. Or an accountant who can't count. Brilliant.

As per the OP  ::)roll ::)roll

"So this group is here to help people that like to see how it is actually done with different squeegees.
Including Wagtail and swivel type squeegees."

Myself and SeanK said we wouldn't mind "improving" our trad skills not that we couldn't do it.

I don't fancy buying every wagtail and every swivel  squeegee to find out which one i like.

The OP has a you tube channel with over 500 subscribers.

I like it. Bricklayer by trade since I left school. Been window cleaning about 6 years wfp only. Cant do traditional at all really don't want to don't need to loads of work. But still think I would like the basic techniques, but to be honest if they want a window cleaned with a squeegee get someone else, no problem.  But great skill to have.

They are informative videos on the different techniques of using a squeegee...fixed blade or swivel type....if you know-it-all...great...don't watch the videos
