Window cleaning is a huge service industry today. It has successfully curved out a market niche in the cleaning industry. Today, it is possible to find contractors that have specialized in this business alone. This has been made possible because many establishments realize the significance of having clean premises. It has a positive impact on sales and customer retention. Many people see clean establishments as responsible, ethical and credible. With the ever-rising skyscrapers in major cities and many shops being opened, commercial window cleaning is becoming very marketable.

The squeegee is one invention that has significantly made cleaning easier and faster. Traditional equipment used was a spray bottle and some paper towels. These were cumbersome and slow and sometimes it took days to finish one job. With this new equipment, the time taken is reduced. It is thus important to look at how this has been made possible.

A good quality squeegee has a metal frame as well as a replaceable blade made from rubber. To run this business, make sure that all the equipment is fitted with new rubber blades. Many professionals use these standard tools. They can be bought at home centers and hardware stores. These are quite cheap and can last for several years. Other tools required are scrubbers, buckets, soaps and liquids, lint-free rugs and small towels.

The advantage of using a squeegee is that the same tool can be used for a number of years. Replacement blades are used to replace worn blades after some time. This is because it is impossible to do an excellent job if the rubber is worn, becomes nicked, rounded or sliced. If it leaves behind streaks, make sure to change it. A neat trick to use is to reverse the blade to add some mileage to its use. In addition, they should be stored well to ensure that their durability and high performance.

Usually one does not need any fancy buckets or soap. A large bucket is good to go. Add a few gallons of water and add liquid soap. Make sure to add only a tablespoon of the soap. When working in hot weather conditions, using cool water can be helpful to ensure effectiveness. If the weather is cold, use solution used for windshield washing to preventing water from freezing on the glass.

Whenever one is using the squeegee, they should squeeze excess water from the blades before applying it to the glass. The fanning method is quite popular amongst many professionals because it makes work easy. However, it requires plenty of practice to perfect. Try any method that works for you. Other recommended ones are horizontal and vertical movements.

Using the squeegee to clean windows inside a house is possible but not easy. It needs one to be careful because they have to squeeze out water and clean several panes before inserting the blade in water again. This prevents any mess inside the home.

These services have gained mainstream attention and support from the commercial world. They are high in demand and pay well. Most of the work is done through contracts that usually last for a specific period as agreed by the parties concerned.
