How to Set Window Cleaning Tool Belts

A window washer must keep his hands freely available to grab the ladder or rope when needed. It is equally important for him to be able to access tools needed to wash the windows and wipe them dry. Using a Window Cleaning Tool Belt is a necessity to quickly finish one job, and then move to the other one. The belt sits on the waist, and holsters slide onto the belt. The holsters are what hold the varied and necessary tools used to clean windows of any size.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You'll Need:

• • Wand Holster
• • Pouch
• • Squeegees, larger and smaller
• • Cleaning rags

• When setting up the holsters to the belt, think of it as a desk top. Put the items that you need first on the right for immediate and fast access. If you are left handed, place on the left side.
• The belt and the holsters are for helping to do the job faster and easier. Set it up with your needs in mind.
• Make sure your hands are able to grab the rope of the scaffold in the event that it snaps. Replace items you take out of the holsters, immediately after using them. Work quickly at all times.
