The most important step of the day, and it has nothing to do with glass. ☕

I spend my whole day pouring energy and skill into other people’s homes — up ladders, on poles, getting every detail right. So before any of that starts, I take one moment just for myself.

This is the moment.

That’s my Ettore mug — there’s a little Italian window cleaner on it, balancing his ladder and all his tools on a motorcycle, looking perfectly content. I get it completely. Same happiness over here. I just traded the bike for a ladder rack. 😄

Then the coffee’s done, and we go to work.

The screen cleaner vs. pet hair. There’s only one winner. 🐾

This one was completely caked — fur packed into the mesh on both sides. A few seconds through the screen cleaner, a slow-motion tap to knock the water off, and it’s like new.

We had a whole stack of these to get through on a beautiful day out in Amherstburg, working right by the Little White Church. Sorry if we didn’t wave — we were focused. 😄

Here’s what clients tell us after we run their screens through this: the screens look nearly invisible. That’s the difference. A screen cleaner pulls out every bit of dust and grit that builds up in the mesh — the kind of thing you can’t get by hand.

You can have spotless glass, but dirty screens make the whole window look dirty. This is the best way to clean a screen, no contest — which is why we never skip them.

Happy Friday from our supervisor for the day. 🐱

Water-fed pole on the outside, one very committed cat on the inside swatting at the brush the whole way across the glass.

This is a maintenance home we clean a few times a year over in Gundy Park — one of Windsor’s loveliest pockets — and clearly someone looks forward to our visits.

Clean, clear views — not just for the humans. 😅

And yes, we’re very pet-friendly.

Here’s what working as a team actually gets you: the same great result, in a fraction of the time. 🪟

These living room windows hadn’t been touched in at least six years, and there’s a large, deep hedge sitting right in front of them — so there’s no walking up and reaching them.

So we run a three-step process. I work a pole from behind the hedge, alternating a scrubber loaded with window soap and a specialized clamp holding 0000 steel wool to break down six years of buildup. Right behind me, Kenny runs a water-fed pole with a Gardiner flocked sill brush to clean the frames, work the edges, and rinse everything with pure DI water.

Safe for us, safe for the plants, and a beautiful finish on the glass.

This is why I brought Kenny on. Nobody wants one person at their home for seven hours when two of us can be in and out in four. That gives us all more time to be where we should be — with our families.

Take a shortcut and you often end up right back where you started. 🪟

This is glass railing right on Lake St. Clair, in Riverside.

We actually tested it — cleaned a few panes without steel wool first, just to see. The result wasn’t good enough. Fly spots stuck on the glass, the kind you can’t squeegee away.

So we did it the right way: steel wool first, then squeegee, then a water-fed pole to properly scrub the railing supports and fittings.

Every step is there for a reason. Skip one and you either do the job twice, or you live with glass that isn’t quite right.

The view through it now? Worth every step.

There was a swamp on top of this RV. And the owners had no idea. 🦟

First visit to Erie Shores this week — a brand new 33-foot Jayco, in for a roof, sides, and awning clean.

When I started rinsing the awning covers over the slide-outs, I found it. They dip in the middle and collect water — and this one was full of stagnant, swampy water that smelled exactly like it sounds.

At this time of year, it was crawling with mosquito larvae.

Here’s what most people don’t realize: mosquitoes breed in standing water. A forgotten pool of it on top of your RV is a perfect nursery — right outside where you sleep.

A gentle brush, a solution that kills the algae and mould, and the roof went from dark grey to white.

Clean roof. No more swamp. A whole lot fewer mosquitoes.

Some windows you can’t just walk up to. 🪟

These three are in the foyer of a dealership in Tecumseh — thirteen feet up, and set back over a ledge that’s about five feet deep.

So there’s no reaching them by hand and no simple ladder setup either.

This is a large A-frame ladder paired with a pole to bridge the distance.

To squeegee at that angle I’m using a Moerman Excelerator
handle with a Liquidator 3.0 blade —which lets me finish the glass cleanly without having to go back and detail every edge.

Tricky work like this takes the right tools, the experience to use them, and the liability insurance to be working at height in a commercial space like this.

It’s the kind of job a lot of people simply can’t take. We can & we do.

Social media makes this look easy.
This is not an easy job. 🪟

This single pane at a dealership in Lakeshore is the equivalent of seven difficult windows in one — about six feet wide and twenty feet
tall.

I’d already cleaned the top third on an earlier day, working from a scissor lift on a pole.

This is me picking up at the two-thirds mark and working my way down to the ground.

Here’s what makes it hard: right in front of the glass, just twelve inches away, is a large black glass display.

So I had about a foot of space to fit a ladder, my body, and my arms without marking up either pane.

There’s a strip of adhesive across the glass that has to be razored off by hand.

I can’t reach across the whole pane, so I clean it in sections — left side first: razor, soap, clean, step down one section at a time.

Then I move the ladder to the right and switch to my left hand, so I’m not leaning across and ruining the section I just finished.

This kind of job isn’t for everyone. It takes the right tools, a steady hand, and years of working out how to do it properly and safely.

I thought about how to do this and had dreams about it at night.

That’s the part that doesn’t make the highlight reels and joke posts.
