ABOUT

PURE WATER:

​

The term Pure Water in window cleaning describes ordinary tap water that has been filtered through a purification system, to remove all the natural minerals. This water is often described as ‘deionised water’ due to the type of filtration used.

​

In the simplest terms, RO and DI purification systems exist in many industries as a means to reduce the mineral content of water. When applied to Window Cleaning, the water will need all of the minerals stripped away for it to be suitable, as some minerals have a tendency to leave ugly white spots on the windows when the water evaporates away. When water is purified to a point that it has a mineral content of 0ppm (parts per million), it is considered to be pure.

​

You may hear that you can clean with a water quality of up to 10ppm and some Window Cleaners boast cleaning right up to 20 or 30ppm with perfect results and this may be the case. The truth is that not all minerals dry to leave ugly marks on the windows, the issue is that this can change from one area to the next and it’s not really feasible to selectively remove the minerals that dry to leave white marks, meaning it is a lot more simple (and cost effective) to simply remove them all and guarantee perfect results.

REACH & WASH

​

Everyone has the right to work safely, and that includes window cleaners. For decades, work at height was simply accepted as an occupational hazard of the window cleaning industry. Reach & Wash® systems allow windows to be cleaned from the safety of the ground using long reaching, telescopic poles. A soft bristled brush is used to scrub the dirt off the glass, while jets of pure water rinse the window. The pure water, as it has no impurities, dries to a spot-free finish leaving no marks behind. Using The Reach & Wash® system, modern window cleaning is no longer the dangerous job it once was.

​

Safety is the most important benefit of the Reach & Wash® system, but it is not the only one. Window cleaners find that they are typically able to work at least twice as fast using poles, but that’s not all…

Reach & Wash® can clean to a height of 80ft, well beyond the reach of ladders, and is much safer, more efficient and cost-effective than other methods of working at height. For these reasons, it’s no surprise that window cleaners the world over are using Reach & Wash® systems to clean higher, faster and most importantly, safer!

ADVANTAGE OF REACH & WASH

​

• Time-saving. This is one of the major benefits of using the telescopic pole system. In a fast-paced world, every technique that reduces the time to get things done brings unparalleled value to both the property owners and the window cleaners.

• Safety. There is no price for human life as there are no spare parts for the human body. Working from the ground reduces and avoids many risks like falling from heights or ladders.

• Ease of use. It simplifies the process of window cleaning and that leads to a learning curve that’s actually not that extensive or time-consuming.

• Less physically demanding. There’s no need to carry around buckets full of water, climb up and down ladders or wipe windows for hours. And with the modern lightweight water fed poles, one doesn’t have to be Superman to work all day long.

• Windows stay clean for longer. The systems work with purified water that removes all the accumulated dust and grime from the glass panes without the use of any chemicals. What makes this possible is the ultra-pure state of the water as it has no dissolved solid particles in it. In this state, the water easily connects with all impurities on the glass surface. And the final result of this in-depth washing is a super smooth state of your windows. It takes a significantly longer for contaminates to start building up again on them, which guarantees you’ll enjoy the long-lasting sparkling effect.

• Can be done in rainy weather. Even light rain or drizzle will make ladders wet and slippery but with extendable poles, that’s no longer an issue.

• Versatile cleaning tool. Water fed pole goes beyond the usual window cleaning and can be used to get your window frames, sills, soffits and fascias back to their pristine condition. Removing dirt from flat glass roof lights and velux windows is child’s play thanks to the telescopic pole system. With its help, you can easily reach solar panels and conservatory roofs, too.

• Eco-friendly solution. The sponge and bucket method often relies on some chemical solution or detergent to remove dirt and stains from the glass and that poses health and environmental risks. On the other hand, water fed pole systems use only purified water that has no side effects and won’t do any harm to your property, your wellbeing or the local ecosystem.

​

Customers are sometimes resistant to the change but after a few cleans they invariably appreciate their cleaner, clearer, shiny windows.
