I must have watched 50 window cleaning videos. I've still never seen one where they do a ground floor window that is dirty, has the top of the window 10 feet from the ground, where the frames are caked in grime and there is a selection of large potted plants and garden ornaments just in front of it.

Never mind that, I've still never seen any videos for the traditional method showing how to clean the window above a downstairs bay and covering a variety of bay roof angles.

This is a video for how to mess window frames, bottom and the place around.

His customer would say "He is not a clerner but a messer"

I don't think he is an idiot...I think he enjoys his job and enjoys teaching...He seems to do it just for other people...Not trying to be a rock star or make money but contribute.

Squeegee to big??? Get a huuuge Sorbo and do the "Z Method"!!!

Golly-Man,maybe moxie is someone with an opinion.......How is that being an antagonizer, just because they call you out and ask a simple question, do you have a problem with someone asking a simple question of you ! Don't be so sensitive, you didn't have a problem with being negative to this guy in the video and I agree he is a bit lets say GREEN ! I post negative remarks and positive remarks here on u-tube all the time and I catch grease all the time for it but that's OK I know my stuff !

Yo Moxie, because they are window cleaners who call dem the way they see dem ! Being a vidographer is a whole different game. No but really Moxie these cats put themselves out there for the whole world to see and the ones who are rookies / bucket hounds / slop-artist stick out like sore thumbs to those who have a trained eye,so some of us like to set the record straight so true beginners have a way to gauge what is the true ways of Journeymen Cleaners !

There are numerous videos already on YouTube showing excellent technique. Many of them from my friends at windowcleaningresources. We don't need more videos on good technique, but bad demonstrations such as this are of no benefit. I assume you are either a friend of his or an antagonizer.
