Train for Success in Window Cleaning
SqueegeeU Window Cleaning Training Program
At SqueegeeU, we deliver comprehensive, hands-on training designed to elevate both individual technicians and entire teams. Our flagship in‑person training spans from a focused 1-day Techniques & Etiquette session to a week-long Technician Certification Course, covering everything from cleaning fundamentals to real‑world client applications. These structured programs are ideal for newcomers looking to sharpen their skills as well as experienced cleaners aiming for leadership development. With optional monthly coaching calls, participants receive ongoing support, accountability, and access to business growth strategies.
Learn How to Clean Windows Professionally
Under the guidance of founder Gabe Gutierrez, a self-taught window cleaning expert with over 25 years of field and business experience, SqueegeeU offers professional-level instruction grounded in real-world application.
Gabe’s credentials include writing the well-respected “Gabe’s Corner” column in American Window Cleaner Magazine, earning the prestigious 2023 Ettore Award, and helping establish the Into the Flow trade group.
Trainees learn not only how to clean windows properly but also how to work efficiently, maintain a professional demeanor with clients, and avoid costly mistakes—an essential foundation for any aspiring window cleaning professional.
Master the S‑Technique & Squeegee Use
A cornerstone of our training is mastering the S‑Technique, a professional squeegee stroke pattern that ensures streak-free, fast cleaning. Trainees develop precision in their blade angle, motion consistency, and fluid control—a skill set that dramatically improves both quality and speed. While online video content is “coming soon,” our in-person sessions offer close instruction and real-time feedback on squeegee technique, positioning participants to become truly professional window cleaners.
With direct coaching from Gabe and expert instructors, students gain mastery over every tool and stroke—empowering them to deliver impeccable results day in and day out.
