Cleaning windows is one of the most demanded services in the market. It does not require any special knowledge to get into but simply interest and dedication. With the many glass buildings and skyscrapers coming up daily, there is no shortage of this business. Many people who do not have a college education or possess any special talents usually find this industry a perfect fit. The commercial window cleaning business is booming with opportunities and demand for services. In addition, it does require a lot of capital to start and run.

One of the most important inventions made in this business must be the squeegee. This revolutionary tool has made the service quite easy and fast to complete effectively. It uses simple technology and is a big step up from the paper towels and spray bottles. It has made it possible to cover more ground and do a better job that leaves glass squeaky clean. It also requires less labor as compared to using paper towels.

A standard squeegee is made up of a metal frame. It is fitted with a rubber blade that can be replaced as often as possible when need arises. New blades are more effective than worn out ones. They are also faster and better since they do not leave any strips of water or dirt. They are found in many home centers as well as hardware stores. Other important tools required include soaps, buckets, scrubbers, towels and lint-free rugs.

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.

These squeegees can be used in cleaning houses as well. The key here is to squeeze most of the water before using it to eliminate excess water. This helps avoid dripping and running water that can make a mess in the house. Have a rag to use for wiping off excess water to prevent it from running towards the woodwork.

Cleaning of windows is a widely sought service that has many market opportunities. This is especially so in the corporate and business world. Most shops fond in towns hire these contractors for up to a year to ensure their windows are sparkling.
