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.

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

All know when starting WC 2002 there was very little information relating to how to use any type squeegee.
YouTube was not an option at that time as well.
There was a few people had a few instructional videos or books you could buy.
But now there are 1000’s of youtube videos relating to how to use squeegees.
All we did is try to get videos that show and explain best of how to squeegee.
So people starting up in WC or just general cleaning they don’t have to troll though all videos to find the information.
If you are interested just join.
If not that’s fine also.
We all started some where.
This should make it a bit easier.

Yes it is for new comers to the cleaning industry.
But there might be something new that can also be learnt.

bloody videos for everything these days what happened to traditions being passed down internet the end of learning a trade the proper way.

I just can't believe that some of you established window cleaners can't rag a window, that's comedy gold, it's like a member of the merchant navy not being able to sail a tea-clipper Or a soldier who can't use a muzzle loading musket. Brilliant.

I think to be a proper window cleaner you need to be good at wfp and traditional.

[Fin Clearview]

Who says they can't rag a window?

I've just taken on my first employee and I won't train him to squeegee. I can squeegee to a standard, but I am quite slow. For all but quite dirty interior cleans I use cloths - much quicker on regular jobs for me. For awkward things over desks I now use an Easy Shine kit. I can't see the point in spending hours to get to the standard & speed of a trad guy when I only do one job in a blue moon with a squeegee. I don't care if that means I'm not a "proper windy" or the people I will employ aren't "proper windies".

WE HAVE 40 PLUS VIDEOS TO WATCH

this is useful for me. been window cleaning for 4 years now, but never used a squeegee..

useful as i want to do some inside cleans with squeegee

[pikeman]

Same here don't really class myself as a window cleaner in the traditional sense, bricklayer by trade. But have loads of work wfp only. Respect to those who can use a squeegee though. Looking through the videos they are great and learnt a few tips.  But enough work wfp only

[PoleKing]

I can trad. To a decent standard. And with enough speed to make money.
But to say that someone who can't blade isn't a window cleaner just isn't correct.

We use the term 'trad' when we mean to squeegee.
Trad is short for traditional.
People like traditions.
That's why some feel passionate about their skill.

Shammying died out because a better method came along. Blading.
Blading hasn't died out because the fact is that some windows aren't suited to WFP (internals

A heart surgeon would be pretty useless at brain surgery.
And a brain surgeon wouldn't be much cop at heart surgery.
But would one say to the other you're not a 'proper' surgeon? Unlikely.

Some people 'specialise' in cleaning only external windows with WFP.

[Joey Eastwood]

if you cant trad lets hope your system doesnt blow up and you cant afford to buy a new one :p

[H MAN]

Well this is for the people that would like get there squeegee technique down.
But, manly for the new comers to the cleaning that have limited knowledge of how the use squeegees.

[DG Cleaning]

It doesn't take long to learn how to squeegee and it'sa very handy skill to have.
If you avoid/don't want to then your missing a trick. 

[SeanK]

Cant believe there are wfp window cleaners that have never used a squeegee, have you never come across
a window above a letter box that leaks into the property that's just one example.

[wfp master]

[gary999]

Any numpty can blade a piece of glass...not everyone has the brains to
go WFP


Only joking

[H MAN]

So those people that now know how to use squeegee .
Where / how did you learn to use them in the first place?
