HOW TO USE THE S TECHNIQUE

To teach you guys the S technique, so a lot of the window cleaners, at least when I first started. You know, depending on what skill level you're at will depend on what technique you're using if you're coming just straight across, maybe drying your squeegee coming across again, you know: that's an OK technique! If you're getting come over here and look at this you're getting all this water here, that's escaping out you're, really having to squeak there to dry your glass. It takes a lot more time in the long run. So here's another technique, that's called the S. This is what I want to teach you guys today. So it's the idea that if you put your your squeegee on the glass and pull down, you're gon na leave an inch of water or if you come at it from the side, it's going to cut the water perfect perfect line. No water is getting drugged down onto the clean glass. So what you want to do, and you can start anywhere - you can start down here. You can start here. It doesn't really matter just as long as you go over where you first started. So if I start here, I'm gon na have to come back around and go over where I started. Okay. Personally, I like starting in the middle and then cutting back over back down back over till you get it down to a point that it's it's one, squeegee swipe! Okay! So, as I get back over here and I'm coming across, come over finish it and then I like to squeegee all this water off ledge. Okay, squeeze you the water off squeegee, up water off the side, and then I don't use the rubber underneath. I use the metal because, if you use the rubber you're gon na you're gon na create like a groove and the squeegee and you're gon na have to throw it away. So you come across with the metal get all those drips of water falling down. So you're not going to screw up your window once you walk away, so we'll go over that again, so the technique that I teach my guys is I'm training them is you need to you need to keep your eye on the end that you're leading with so Your highest part of your squeegee, so if you're coming across here, you need to watch this edge, you want to watch it go right. It doesn't matter where the sides doing it doesn't matter. If there's streaks here, you'll come back and catch those, so you come up and you watch this edge watch this edge and you're turning the whole time. You don't want to get to here and then turn and then come down. Then you're gon na get all these lines and bass stops. It'S got to be a fluid motion. Okay, once I get down here that I switch directions, I start watching this. I make sure this goes higher than all the other water. Okay watching this right here, then I flip back around and I'm watching this in earnest handing cut cut down the mountain is the technique that I've heard used so you've just watched this in and then once you get to this side finish it off like that switch Inside just a little bit a nice window with this technique, yes, who usually good, always need to wipe your edges. You'Ve got you know quite a bit of water here on this edge quite a bit there here, so you grab your towel and touch it up. Quick. Make sure when you wipe those edges you're only using you know one finger or two fingers in that towel. You don't want to swish all that water out Forbes. You don't want to use all four fingers and like if you're, if you're more than a finger width of water out from the frame of the glass you've left too much water, and you need to reach it. If you're trying to wipe off two inches of water. With your towel, all you're gon na do is leave a ton of streaks. If there's water left on the glass, if there's a little, you know a little corner. We give you an idea what I'm talking about if you get it to where you're leaving water like this, that's going to be a streak, you want it to be dry when you're done. So if you leave like a corner or water, that's going to be a big old white streak when it's when it's dried out so you've got to make sure that when you squeeze them off, your windows are perfectly dry, have streaks when you're done.
