Pure Water Window Cleaning, What Are The Benefits?

In london and other cities in the UK window cleaning firms will more than likely use a water fed pole or reach and wash system to clean at heights otherwise considered too risky to get to via 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.

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.

Reverse osmosis and the water purification process will remove all other particle and mineral deposits from the water, leaving no white spots behind on the glass surface as it evaporates will not be the only benefit of using this system though.

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.

Light brushing with a monofilament brush attached to a carbon composite pole that feeds pure water up to heights of up to 70 foot will ensure streak free clean windows with out the high risk and high cost methods of past.

A leading window cleaning company in London use a rain repellent product called Hydrostorm that is added to the pure water supply leaving a thin layer of marine polymer on the glass after the water has evaporated and dried. This rain repellent surface or hydrophobic treatment keeps glass surfaces clean for up to four times as long.
