Hi, I am Christian I am 44 years old and from Denmark. I have been in the window cleaner industry for 24 years. I started in my twenties after the dream of being a self-employed electrician burst due to the high entry boundaries (the need for capital).

I started with a Ford Escort station car from 1990 that was multicolored because I could not afford anything better, with a wooden ladder on the roof, that weighed more than 30 kilos when it got wet.

 

Prior, I did have employees (12). Still, I stopped and went back to just being me, due to the complications in keeping a high standard I could be proud of. I put an honor in having a good relationship with all of my customers both business and private. In 2022, I run with the title of the best window cleaner of the year! I do both commercial and private homes.

I have approximately 600 customers I serve all year. I run my business on rotation, so we agree on a certain cycle every time I start a new customer so they always know when I will be back to serve their windows.

In 2020, I launched my own window cleaner soap, Glideiator, which I took two years to develop because I wanted a soap that had a better slip and glide than the ones that were on the market. The soap is now sold in 9 countries in Scandinavia, Europe, the US, and the UK!

I like being a window cleaner mostly because you are free to do whatever you like, and the craft of window cleaning is so elegant when you master the techniques behind it.

I love to make customers happy; that is what drives me, and is the key driver to keep doing this. There is no better feeling than giving a customer the wow effect when they see the results of your work! When you are self-employed, the sky is the limit for your income, and when you master the skills, you get to be the master of your own income.

My advice would be to always make sure to be proud of what you are doing, and keep doing what you’re doing; consistency is your key to success.

And the last one: Believe in your dreams.
