In the UK and other Countries around the globe more and more window cleaning companies are turning to reach and wash methods to wash windows at heights considered too dangerous to be cleaned by tradditional ladder access.
Contrary to what some window cleaners believe, it is not against the law in the UK to use ladders for short periods of time.
Misunderstanding of the health and Safety legislation in the UK is common place and many window cleaners wrongly believe that ladder use for window cleaning is now illegal.
But how can pure water fed pole methods possibly clean windows as well as tradditional methods, I hear you ask?
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.
The water purification process removes all mineral and particle impurities from the water enabling it evaporate naturally without leaving behind any trace mineral deposits on the surface the water was on, but there are other benefits of using pure water to clean windows that are not as straight forward as one might imagine.
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.
In Layman\’s terms when purified H2O runs over a glass surface it breaks down the dirt by dissolving it and absorbing it into the water itself and as the glass is washed and rinsed with more pure water the surface will dry to a sparkling clean smear free surface.
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.
