    A hint for making the most of Gleam3, Instead of using the recommended 1/10 of an ounce for one gallon of water, use 1 full ounce for 3 to 5 gallon bucket. That makes all the difference I found out to have a sheet of water on the window without splotches. Doing this will make...

    Gleam 3 doesn't sud so it is easier to wipe. It helps the water stay wet longer. With McDonald playlands and reflective glass I cut my time by 20 percent! I hope this answers your question Dan. Being a fellow Texan you know how fast water dries in the summer! Glad to...

    charging for window cleaning

    It must be an illegal alien cleaning those windows! In Texas we have to charge sales tax. If they got caught using someone not registered with the state as a legitimate business, Fine! Fine! Fine! He won't last! We would charge $15 to $20 for the same job once a month. We try to...
