Online window cleaning training · Justin Orloff, window cleaner since 1999

Window cleaning is only the movement.
It's what you become on the way.

A quiet job for introverts and outroverts, no degree needed. You work alone, you shape your own week, and you give people a clear view.

Read my story Let's talk

You've been thinking about this for a while. Maybe for months.

You've watched the videos. You've read the threads. You know roughly what a squeegee costs.

But nobody has told you what to actually do on Monday morning.

So you stay where you are. In a job that was never yours, feeling behind before you've even begun.

I know that feeling.

A small question first

Which one sounds like you?

Introvert · extrovert · outrovert

I thought I was an ambivert. The test said outrovert.

Outrovert, or otrovert as psychiatrist Dr. Rami Kaminski spells it: someone who is warm one to one, but never needs to belong to the group. An observer. A comfortable outsider.

Warm at every door. Never part of the crowd. A window cleaner looks in from the outside of the glass. That has always been me.

Belonging isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up, flaws and all.

Chapter 1 · the climber

Books were never my way. My hands were.

I'm dyslexic. I learn by doing, not by reading. As a kid I climbed everything: trees, walls, buildings. I was looking for something I could master.

I didn't know yet that it would be glass.

Chapter 2 · Melbourne, 1999

My first window.

I wasn't a natural. But something clicked. Here was something I could get better at, one window at a time. Every streak taught me something.

I became an industrial climber, so my love of heights became my work. Every window had a beginning and an ending, with a clear difference. I loved that.

My dyslexia didn't matter here. My dedication did.

Soap swirls smeared across glass, the light behind it out of focus

Chapter 3 · the hard years

Stubborn dirt doesn't clean away in one pass. You go back again and again until everything is clear again.

Not every view was clear for me.

Actually, it was years of an unclear view of myself. Becoming a husband and a father changed that. An inner voice always said: show up, do the work.

There was no lightning bolt. The turning point came through the work itself, one window at a time.

In Japan, broken pottery is repaired with gold. It's called kintsugi. The cracks are not hidden; they become the most beautiful part.

Those years are my gold lines.

Chapter 4 · Vienna, 2010

Start bad, but start.

New country. New language. I started again from zero, the only way I knew: one window, one customer at a time.

Today I still clean windows in Vienna, solo. My clients rate me 5.0 on Google, and my calendar is booked into 2027.

As I cleared away dirt for others, I started to see myself more clearly too.

What I got, and still get

Why window cleaning is a job for introverts

A different point of view: Every day a new window, a new street, a new view. Literally.
Time alone: Your hands move, your mind is free. That audiobook you always wanted to listen to. Finally.
A new wellness center, every day: Beautiful homes, quiet rooms, light. And you get paid to be there.
Your own week: Freedom to sculpt and design your timetable. Nobody decides it for you.
No degree: No interview panel. No certificate from school. One window at a time.
A change you can see: Your customer's view, clear again. Their next daydream starts at that glass.

How much window cleaners really make

Before, after. For now.

A clean window doesn't stay clean. That isn't failure. That's the practice. Start bad, but start. Resilience is like a muscle: you have to keep using it, or it fades. You only fail when you stop.

Inside my training

From streaky to clear, in 5 steps.

The way I would teach you if you stood next to me on the job. Every step changes something in your hands, and something in you.

The Manifesto

The moment it stops being luck. You understand why glass streaks, and the only 5 tools you need, $35 to $60. Free.

The AR trainer

Your hands learn the strokes on your own windows, before a customer ever sees you.

The Mastery Course

You walk up to any window and know what to do. Corners, French panes, extension poles, ladder safety. Certification at the end.

The Clear View Creator

You see how far you have come. Before and after photos, a journal, a community.

AMA

Thirty minutes, just you and me. Bring your journal and the windows that beat you.

Step 2 · the AR trainer

I'm dyslexic. I learn with my hands, not from books. So I built what I wished I'd had in 1999.

The world's first AR window cleaning trainer.

Point your phone at any window. The right strokes appear on the glass: side-to-side, top-to-bottom, the turn with a twist.

Your hands learn before a customer ever sees you.

Inside my training · step 4 of 5

Document your journey. The highs, the lows, the progress.

Without a record, change feels invisible. You improve, but you can't see it from the inside. In my training, the Clear View Creator (step 4) keeps that record for you.

Before and after photos

A comparison slider for every window. Your first streaky attempt next to your hundredth. Proof you can see.

A journal with 21 guided prompts

One short question at a time, so you never face a blank page. The good days, the bad ones, the day you nearly quit.

A private WhatsApp community

Other Clear View Creators around the world, at every stage. Share the win. Share the bad day.

The first journal prompts: "Why are you here?" · "What holds you back?" · "What does clarity mean to you?" · "Your first attempt"

Documentation isn't vanity. It's proof.

Everything I've built since 1999. Handed to you, ready to run.

Every system I built for my own business. Every lesson. Every mistake I already paid for. It is all in The View.

You don't start from zero like I did. You start where I am today.

What I hand over

Your website, live in your name: For your location, with SEO content and blog posts already on it. Legal pages done.
Your back office, ready to run: Leads and customers, invoicing, expenses, budgeting, reports and a daily operations dashboard.
Your marketing, set up: Your local competitors mapped, Google Business directions, an SEO checklist and a social content machine.
Your prices: How to quote, what to charge, and when to put your prices up.
Your skill: All 5 steps of the training, the AR trainer and professional certification.
Me: A private session, one to one. And first access to the Clear View Network.

A franchise typically costs $20,000 to $33,000, plus a cut of everything you earn, under their name. The View is one payment, and the business is yours.

No franchise fee. No royalties. Your name on the van.

The business is built. Your job is the one thing nobody can do for you.

Find one window. One dirty window.

Let's talk

The next step

Tell me where you are.

This isn't a sales team. It comes straight to me, and I read every one myself.

I reply personally within a few days. We find a time for a call. You ask anything. I tell you honestly whether The View is right for you now. If it isn't, I say so.

Nothing to pay until we have spoken.

Questions about window cleaning as a job for introverts

Is window cleaning a good job for introverts?

For me, yes. Most of the day it is you, the glass and your own thoughts. You meet each customer one to one, at their door, not in a crowded office. I have worked this way, solo, since 1999.

What is an outrovert?

Outrovert, or otrovert as psychiatrist Dr. Rami Kaminski spells it in his book The Gift of Not Belonging, is someone who is warm and social one to one but has no need to belong to a group: an observer, a comfortable outsider. I tested as one. It explains why this work has always fit me.

Do I need a degree to become a window cleaner?

No. You need the right technique, $35 to $60 of tools, and the patience to be bad at it for a few days. I am dyslexic and I learn with my hands. So does everyone who cleans windows well.

What is the Clear View Creator?

Step 4 of the training. Before and after photos with a comparison slider, a reflection journal with 21 guided prompts, and a private WhatsApp community. It is where you document your journey: the good days, the bad days and the progress you cannot see from inside.

What happens in the call with Justin?

Step 5. A 30-minute one-to-one video call with me. Bring your journal, the windows that beat you, the fear of heights, the question of whether to go full-time. You get a written summary within 24 hours.

Do I need experience to start my own window cleaning business?

No. I had none in Melbourne in 1999. What you do need is the patience to be bad at it for a few days before you are good at it.

How long before I am earning?

Three or four days of practice before the basics are solid. After that it depends on how quickly you go out and find people, which is the part I cannot do for you. I will not give you a number, because anybody who does is guessing.

What happens after I press Let's talk?

It comes straight to me and I read it myself. I reply personally within a few days and we find a time to talk. You ask what you need to ask, and I tell you honestly whether The View is right for you now. Nothing to pay until we have spoken.

How much does the training cost?

$199, one payment, lifetime access. All 5 steps, professional certification and the 30-minute call with me. No subscription.

Is there a refund if it does not work?

Yes. There is a 30-day results guarantee. Complete the training, practise with the AR tool and apply the technique. If you are still not getting streak-free results, send me your before and after photos and write to me for a full refund.

Six months from now, you can still be researching. Or you can have cleaned your first hundred windows. The only difference is whether you start.

If you've ever felt behind before you've even begun, I built this for you.

The skill, the business, ready-built, and me beside you while you start. All that's left is one dirty window.
