Gutter cleaning season is here. Looking for any tips that may help me to speed up the process and safely of course. I either get on the roof or ladder and scoop with my hands. Thanks and be safe.

Sleeves for T-bar

kingcleaner — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:13:14 GMT

There are so many sleeves for wetting your windows. I just wanted to get some inputs from other window cleaners as to what ones they use. I want to change up my sleeve. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Fixed handle vs. Swivel handle

I have always used a fixed handle squeegee. Should I invest in a swivel handle? What advantages will the swivel handle have? Any input would be great. Thanks!

Unger Ergotec Ninja?

Fowler267 — Thur, 15 Sep 2011 14:50:02 GMT

I have a 14 inch Ninja squeegee and like everything about it EXCEPT the swivel.

I'm sorta a novice in this bis and do a straight pull down the window pane instead of fanning. I really like the soft rubber of the ninja vs the harder rubber from another Unger squeegee which came in a starter kit.

What I dont' like about the swivel is that it swivels when I drag it along the edge of the window. Ive tried tightening the adjustment screw down but that doesnt' totally stop it.

Any sugestions? Would my older style Unger squeegee work just as well or better with softer rubber in it?

Settle a bet for us

jeffwerner — Thur, 11 Aug 2011 05:05:47 GMT

OK - the wife and I are having a debate.She thinks it is unacceptable to take off your shirt when cleaning windows on a hot day and I, obviously, think its no big deal.

Any thoughts?

Customer Contact

What do you guys do to keep in contact with your existing customers? I know that one company by me uses telemarketers but I just hate that. Any other ideas that work?

Squeegee(SP) question

Fowler267 — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 01:06:24 GMT

I have Unger equipment which is brand new and just used for practice around the house so far.

My question is will the Ettore and other brands interchange with Unger ect?

#2: What is your favorite brand of rubber and why? Does it clean better/easier? Does it wear better for the price ect? Why do you prefer one brand over the other?
