The Water fed pole system
What are the results like?
Squirting
windows with pure water from a garden hose pipe attatched to a
telescopic pole with a brush on the end of it, may not have sounded like
a very convincing idea for cleaning windows the first time you heard of
it. The thought of using no cleaning chemicals or detergents may
have left you a little dubious as to what kind of results would be
achieved. The fact is however, that when used properly the results achieved using a reach & wash water fed pole are excellent. As
with traditional window cleaning methods, the results achieved with
water fed pole systems greatly depend on the operator. Somebody new to
using a squeegee will doubtlessly make mistakes, just as a novice using a
water fed pole will have some teething problems. However, once you have
aquired the necessary skills we can safely say that you will be very
pleased with the results. If you make a mistake with a squeegee, the result is a very obvious streak on the window. If we are honest, this
even happens after years of experience. In most cases this is noticed
immediately and we can correct it with the use of our scrim or
microfibre cloth. Occasionally though, the light may be reflecting on
the window in such a way that you don’t notice until you come to do the
inside windows. When looking out of the window in certain light, the
mistake is very obvious. However, it is not always the case that we
clean the inside windows. We can conclude then, that tradtional methods
do not always produce a perfect result. Why is this relevant? When
using a reach & wash water fed pole the results won’t necessarily be perfect every
time either. Generally after some experience, you shouldn’t get the
nasty contaminated drips coming down from the frames and air vents. From
time to time though you may find that there is a certain amount of
‘spotting’ on the window.The difference is that you would have to go
close up to the window and focus on the spotting to notice it, whereas a
streak left from a squeegee blade or cloth is quite obvious even from a
distance.
Is it suitable for domestic work?
A
common myth is that water fed pole systems are no good on domestic
work. The reasoning behind this may vary. Perhaps a window cleaner may
worry as to whether the general household customer would accept this new
window cleaning method. These reservations are valid to a certain
extent. If you turn up one day with a water fed pole and give no
explanation as to how it works or the reason for the change, then the
chances are, some customers will object. They may be confused as to why
the windows have been left dripping wet for example. However, by
taking the time to introduce your customers to the concept of ladderless
window cleaning these objections can be dispelled.We can include the cleaning of your gutter / facia / and any cladding on your property as we offer all aspects of high level window cleaning.
