Matthieu Foldz: From real estate to window cleaning

Matthieu Foldz is a professional window cleaner and the founder of Matthieu Foldz Propreté, a company he started in 2012. Strongly connected to the field, Matthieu represents a hands-on generation of professionals who value craftsmanship, efficiency and authenticity. His daily work on site shapes not only the way he cleans windows, but also the way he shares his experience with others.

A career that started by chance

Before becoming a window cleaner, Matthieu worked in real estate. His career change was not planned, but sparked by a meaningful encounter. After meeting a professional window cleaner and hearing about the realities of the job, something clicked. He discovered a profession that is concrete and demanding, yet deeply satisfying. What began as curiosity quickly became a conscious professional choice, and today Matthieu practises his craft with pride and passion.

Discovering Moerman

Matthieu first came into contact with Moerman more than four years ago at the Europropre trade show in Paris. While exploring the Moerman window-cleaning range, he met Maxime Martino from Lamatex, who introduced him to the tools. What stood out was that this was not a standard sales pitch, but a genuine exchange between professionals. Matthieu immediately felt that Moerman truly understands the day-to-day reality of window cleaners.

Tools designed for real work

The first Moerman products Matthieu worked with were the Excelerator handle and the F*LIQ. He instantly understood how they functioned and how they could improve his workflow. For him, the strength of Moerman lies in the fact that every product is designed to make movements easier, save time and improve working comfort. The tools feel intuitive because they are built around real-life use on the job.

If Matthieu had to choose just one Moerman tool, his answer would be the Gekko. It is a reliable tool he can take to almost any job, where efficiency and consistency matter day after day.

Sharing the reality of the job

Beyond his daily work, Matthieu shares his experience online. His content is inspired by his everyday routine and does not aim to compete or impress. Instead, he shows the job as it really is, with its constraints, its satisfactions and its small but important details. Social media helps him give visibility to his company, highlight the window-cleaning profession and spotlight brands that play an essential role in his work.

One video that particularly surprised him by the attention it received was a simple explanation of why he uses a sponge to wash windows. It sparked curiosity and discussion, especially among fellow window cleaners. For Matthieu, this confirms that the most valuable content is often simple, practical and honest.

Looking ahead

For those starting out in the profession, Matthieu’s advice is clear: be patient and consistent. Window cleaning is a craft that is learned over time, on the field. Looking ahead, Matthieu wants to continue developing his company while staying true to who he is and how he works, sharing his daily reality without pressure or pretense.
