AWC Magazine - Issue 124

ISSUE TEASER:

Read the manual! AWC contributor Gary Mauer implores window cleaners to read the fine print on safety documents in this issue of the American Window Cleaner magazine. He advises you to train yourself to work safely, read the manufacturer's warnings, and not ignore your employees when they come to you with questions or concerns.

When you look at Christmas lights, do you ever wonder if someone would pay another person to set them up? Holiday lighting is a great add-on business for window cleaners and AWC contributor Anne Richter is here to tell you why. Richter talks commercial versus residential, how to get started, and what equipment you need.

Get an in-depth look at UK-based company Ionic Systems LTD. Owner Craig Mawlam made an interesting discovery while building his business - rainwater cleans better than tap water. AWC contributor Nigel Hall talks about the company's further developments and what the future holds for Mawlam.
