Hi I’m Tim, been cleaning windows 23 years and running a business 10 years. I have 5 full timers. I am a fourth generation cleaner, my great grandfather started as a side job in 1918. Been following this forum for awhile and decided to join.

Welcome!
Welcome
So your grandfather was cleaning windows before the squeegee was invented, very interesting, it would be amazing to read about how it was done with a leather chamois and scrim, I remember reading how all the window cleaners in 1936 were all mad about he squeegee development and now “anybody” could just become a window cleaner a skill they had converted for the ages.

I would to hear how that process works to, it would be really interesting.
Glad to have you. Welcome

I would love to tell you more about it but unfortunately my great grandfather passed away before I was born and my grandfather started after the squeegee was invented. Great grandpa would do windows while my Great grandma would work at a confectionary store they owned. This is the earliest picture I think we have of him with the ladders sticking out of the rumble seat.
