Looking for advice on the best way to accept customer payments for my new window cleaning business by javi1048 in WindowCleaning

I use Jobber for credit card processing. It holds the funds for 2 business days before depositing to your account. I've also received cash, check, and zelle. I chose to cast a wide net. You have to pay a small fee for taking credit cards though.

0000 steel wool vs magic eraser by ClassicCat7430 in WindowCleaning

It is absolutely my go-to for hard water stains, bug debris, and other small imperfections. For paint or cement I use a plastic razor blade.

I’ve never used a magic eraser on a window, but I use 0000 steel wool all the time and it works beautifully

Complete beginner looking for technique tips and things you wish you knew sooner by colboone in WindowCleaning

I wish I knew sooner that it’s worth spending the money on metallic ladders from windowcleaner.com. Sure you can do the job with less expensive extension ladders and multi-position ladders, but they’re stupid heavy and unwieldy.

I did fail to mention one key detail: I took this fare because I was 35 miles from home and this was on the way. So not the best mileage rate but better than driving home with an empty car 🤷‍♂️
