Commercial Window Cleaning: The Basics

Here's a look at basic techniques in commercial storefront window cleaning. But we threw in a little bit of cinematics to make it just a bit more interesting. Watch out for that cowboy on a steel horse. But instead of a six-shooter, or a six-string, he has a six-foot Eliminator slung over his shoulder. Enjoy!

Immediately when you leave the top frame start to tilt the squeegee so the right side of the channel will get the lead with a couple inches that way the water will be forced to go to your left side, repeat this every time that way you always force the water to your left and you never get a strike, the chemicals I am using is the Sorbo Window Cleaning Soap in (Powder form) and the Sorbo Glide, I always use Tap Water

ive got the 90 cm sorbo and i can just tell you this is the real deal.. a real straight and great squeegee for straight strokes.. i used it horizontaly today on windows 2.2/3m s high and it was done in seconds.. i dont know what the eliminator can do but ime sure it works  because of the pressure points designed on it... if your doing big windows dont forget to wash them with a big washer (applicator too) and the sorbo glide is really good i.m.o

I want to see some a action with the 78" Eliminator! I an thinking about buying it (save tons of time, more money), but I don't know anyone who has one nor seen any videos of people that have one. So, I'm not 100% on how good it really is.

So, I'd like to see it in action. If it is what it appears to be (just as effective as the other channels), I will buy one right now.

ok so basically an easy way to put it. Pull straight down on your squeegee for the first pull, then angle the lead edge downward on your next pulls. Basically instead of pulling it straight down, take the squeegee and lead one edge about an inch lower than the other and pull down, it prevents a streak everytime if done right!
