Chatttta

Well, I supposed the last video should be followed up so you’ll hear what I’m talkin bout…

This technique is used by me regularly and is being taught to my employee(s).

excellent trick.

thanks Ken!

Very nice. Not often I see something new!

Always liked your style Jordie!

Does the chattering wear out the back side of the rubber? I’d hazard a guess, that it almost gives more wear and tear on the dry back side than on the front lubricated side. So, when you go to turn your rubber over to use the second side, it’s already worn, (or at least partially worn) correct? Or not correct?

Great fanning+scrubbing technique BTW. Almost hypnotic to watch.

Jordie these videos are great! Keep up all the awesome work :sunglasses:

Hey thanks guys. Always listening to feedback. Lmk if you see something I can improve upon.

You know, I’ve asked myself the same thing and my guess is that it does add wear to backside but nothing that has been noticeable. But I will watch more closely.

Great technique! I can tell you really enjoy cleaning windows :slight_smile:

Love it! My lead tech always takes his rubber off the glass on his last turn, which is why I honed in on your movement. He basically does the same thing, leaving the bottom corner on the glass and pivot he just takes it off the glass. Think your technique will really improve his game. Thanks for sharing!

I like it. Another window cleaner showed me the same move for closing out and to catch missed spots without having to re wet the window. except that he called it stuttering.

Why squeegee an area and then re wet it. It looks cool and i cant do it your style, but looks time consuming.

Great to see someone else using this technique,i’ve done this for years.One suggestion i would make would be not to use the washer as you squeegee off your soapy water.You may find this will hugely improve your time on the job.

Two handed technique is the fastest way when your cleaning glass at waste level with traditional tools.

Not disputing that but it looked like it was slowing him down as he seemed to washing parts of the glass he had already done.From what i could see anyway.

I like the video but it seems more about doing it for looks rather than efficiency as like @Dotsy mentioned re wetting areas you spent several strokes dive bombing only to re wet and almost double again and again, again working this heavy soap circle into the middle. it looks cool but also very labor intensive, perhaps its part of a exercise regime, or just for the video.

Btw I did notice at the end of the video where you performed your chatter that you chattered to high and when came and finished the stroke there was a small soap line above that stroke, which was my original concern with this type of finishing technique, when teaching if the person does not understand the mechanics involved and rather tries to copy what they see you do it can have to potential for more errors.

I keep my mop on the window 80% of the time while fanning. I’d like to think we can still move quickly .but I’m pretty new so I don’t know much :expressionless:

Hey great video but at 18 minutes and 72 seconds your mop lifted off the glass for approximately 2.1 seconds and you could have just left it on the glass and it probably would have saved you like 2.4 seconds when cleaning that window. But good job.
