The secrets most dont want you to know, one of the highest profit margins in the entire cleaning industry, dish soap, maybe a dash of ammonia or vinergar in the water. One window washer can personally perform $450-$500 a day. Do you do window washing? Why are you not doing window washing? If your customer requests it . Do you use that old cleaning humor and say we dont do windows?

We do window washing for our clients only, but we hate it. No one here is good & fast at it.

lol... you shouldn't hate anything.. It takes time to get good with a squeegee. Ill tell ya out of any cleaning I would prefer window washing over any other type of service. Nothing like it! Up early in the brisk of the morning, a nice hot cup of apple cider (maybe a dash of cinnamon liqueur), primarily outside all day long.
[glow=blue,2,300] Boy this post really gets me excited about fall weather in Michigan. Who`s got the old fashioned donuts from the Mill. Brian maybe your first meeting should be held at one of our fine Michigan cider mills in the area. [/glow]

I use to hate window cleaning. Not anymore. We use a concentrated window cleaner that cost $99.00 for 4 gallon. We can do $30,000.00 worth of window cleaning with that amount . Love the cost. For you guys in the cold of winter; I found a liquid used inside tractor tires that when added to our window cleaning solution will keep it from freezing . I went to a local tire store and they sell it for around $10.00 gallon. Just takes a little.

The concentrate is called Star Shine . I get it from a Pioneer dealer. I have tried the Joy and it worked ok but it seems like we get a lot better shine on the windows using this solution. That is only my opinon though. I'm sure there are alot of good cleaners out there. I also like it when the clients say wow what do you use in your cleaner? And to that I reply a commercial concentrated window cleaner solution. It sounds more professional then joy dishwashing liquid and its something they don't have.

Does Anyone when they go door knocking, have all their window washing supplies, and then clean customers windows right there in the spot?
Do you say you'll come back later and give them an estimate?
Which ways works best?
