How to Become a Teenage Window Cleaner
What Does a Teenage Window Cleaner do?
As a teenage window cleaner, your main responsibility will be to clean windows of both residential and commercial properties.
If you choose to focus on residential properties, you will need to bring your own equipment and start your own business. On the other hand, for commercial properties, you may require more advanced equipment such as a platform to reach higher levels. Your goal will be to ensure that the windows of the property are spotless and sparkling in the sunlight. It is important to note that you should not be afraid of heights as you may need to clean windows on the second or even third story, which may require you to use a ladder and work up to 30 feet above the ground.
How Much Does a Teenage Window Cleaner Get Paid?
What is the Typical Salary for a Teenage Window Cleaner?
As a self-employed teenage window cleaner, you can expect to earn around $10-$15 per hour, while working with a business may pay you around $15-$20 per hour. However, being a self-employed window cleaner also means that your income may not be stable. You will need to search for clients on your own, and if you are unable to find new clients, you won’t get paid. To ensure a more consistent income, we recommend signing up clients for regular window cleaning services, such as weekly or bi-weekly cleanings. This will provide you with clients for a longer period of time until they decide to cancel.
How Can I Get Started as a Teenage Window Cleaner?
If you’re interested in becoming a teenage window cleaner, it’s important to first talk to your parents and ensure that you have their support and guidance throughout the process. Safety should be your top priority, so be sure to educate yourself on the proper equipment and procedures to stay safe on the job.
There are two options for window cleaning: residential and commercial. For residential cleaning, you’ll need to start your own company and advertise your services to potential clients. You can put up posters in your neighborhood with your phone number and wait for someone to contact you. For commercial cleaning, you’ll need to apply to window cleaning companies. Websites like Indeed can be a great resource for finding job openings in your area.
Regardless of which type of window cleaning you pursue, it’s important to have the right equipment. You can find a list of necessary equipment at specialized window washing stores, and Amazon is a great place to purchase them.
As for pay, you can expect to earn between $10-$20 per hour depending on the type of work you do. It’s important to note that income can vary and may not be consistent, so it’s a good idea to try to secure long-term clients or employment.
Becoming a teenage window cleaner can be a great way to earn money and gain experience in the workforce. Just be sure to prioritize safety and proper equipment, and don’t be afraid to seek guidance and support from your parents throughout the process.
