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.
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 what are the benefits of pure water and the reach and wash sytem and can I be sure that it works?
Water or H2O as it is also referred to is basically one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms that are two charged ions.
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.
