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.
Many window cleaners understanding of health and safety law is actually incorrect, it is still legal to use ladders in the UK as long as the work is for short periods of time and no other means of access is available.
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 or H2O as it is also referred to is basically one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms that are two charged ions.
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 achieve 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.
