In Britain today professional window cleaning companies in London are using water fed pole reach and wash systems to clean glass surfaces deemed to be at a height too dangerous or risky to gain access by traditional methods.
There are still many window cleaners across the UK who believe ladder use is now illegal, this is incorrect. Ladder use is still permitted for work with short periods of time like for example, window cleaning.
It would be wrong to believe that ladder use is illegal but many window cleaners still misunderstand the law in the UK.
But how, may you ask does the water fed pole system work and will it give me the same results as a traditional clean?
Water is made up of a single atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen hence the term H2O. These atoms exist as two charged ions in water. A hydrogen atom is a positively charged hydrogen ion; the other is connected to the oxygen atom to form a negatively charged hydroxide-ion.
Water purification will remove all impurities in the water this includes all minerals and as a result when the pure water evaporates from a glass surface it leaves non of the trace mineral deposits that common tap water would, but this is not the only benefit of using pure water to clean windows.
A fact that is not widely known about pure water is that it performs in the same way as a solvent, as the water is in an unaturally pure state it will aggressively fight to return to its more natural “impure” state, absorbing dirt on contact.
Simply put, when purified water flows over a surface, it actually dissolves and absorbs all potential substances and because the final rinse is also pure water when left to dry naturally it leaves a streak-free surface behind.
Water fed poles will reach to heights of over 60 feet and after practice an experienced window cleaner can acheive perfect results minus the potential risks of ladder use.
Rain repellents are now entering the UK market place with one of London’s leading window cleaners using a product called Hydrostom that is added to the pure water cleaning system. These hydrophobic polymers keep the glass surface cleaner for far longer periods of time, reducing the yearly costs of window cleaning for their clients.
