💦 Does a Water Fed Pole system clean windows as well as traditional methods?

The simple answer is yes! Water is a fantastic cleaning agent and combined with the gentle cleaning action of the soft brushes your windows will be cleaned to a sparkling finish.

 

💦 When the window cleaner leaves my windows are still wet, won’t that leave marks?

When you wash glass with ordinary tap water and leave it to dry naturally you are often left with white streaky lines. The streaky marks are caused by impurities in the water, because Water Fed Pole systems use completely pure water there is nothing to leave streaks so your windows are left completely clean. Occasionally, on the first or second window clean with purified water, you can get a run down the window after we’ve left. The purified water used to clean the windows has probably got under a top window seal. Purified water is like a magnet to dirt and has come in contact with old dirt or old soap under the seal, attracted it, then run down the glass. Then the water dries and leaves only the impurities it picked up, thus you get a dirty stain or white soap stain on the glass. If this happens simply call me and I will come round and re-clean the window ASAP – for free of course.

 

💦 Pole System Water Jets for Window Cleaning, how does a Water Fed Pole system work?

We use an extendable pole to reach all the windows on your property. Water is sprayed onto the windows and dirt is removed using the soft brush. The windows are then rinsed to remove all dirt.

​

💦 Why do window cleaners use the Water Fed Pole system?

The primary reason window cleaners have moved to a pole system is safety. Window cleaning has long been one of the most dangerous professions in the UK with a number of deaths and serious injuries occurring each year. The Water fed Pole system allows window cleaners to work from the ground reducing the risk of serious injury. This is also backed by our liability insurance policy which wouldn’t cover traditional anymore.

 

💦 My velux windows are never clean, why?

In a lot of cases now velux windows come With “self cleaning glass”, we never find these very effective, but cleaning these become very difficult, as we clean with purified water, it dries and runs off instantly, trapping and drying any dirt we try to remove.. It’s not always apparent to the naked eye if the glass is self cleaning. We now price separately for these jobs and usually require a yearly clean only.

 

💦 You didnt clean my conservatory roof?

A conservatory roof clean is not included in your standard monthly price, We do include a conservatory addition Ranging from £3-£8 and this is to take into account the additional glass area of the frames. This is your call.

 

A conservatory roof clean on average can take up-to 6 hours of cleaning, sometimes longer and on my everyday round this cant be achieved for obvious reasons... We do clean conservatory roofs but a separate visit and individual price will be given dependant on age style access and Time needed to clean, Starting from £30.

 

💦 So are you saying that my windows will be crystal clear after your first visit?
Not in every case. There are many variables which affect the end result. Previously you probably have had your windows cleaned using a solution liquid. It produces a great result immediately after finished cleaning but soon gets dirty afterwards. Liquid can leave deposits on the glass which attracts the dirt between cleans.

When we start cleaning for you, we have to remove all of the cleaning solution deposits to ensure a spotless finish. We also make sure that the accumulated dirt and dust is removed completely from the frame, especially the top.

 

After the first couple of cleans, you may notice one or two spots on the glass where we haven’t manage to totally remove the deposits. These will disappear after a few cleans. But in most cases this is pretty rare

​

💦 Why do you leave the windows wet?

Please do not be concerned by this, it is only pure water which is even less harmful to your building than rainwater. Because this water dries without leaving streaks, it is unnecessary to squeegee the windows dry. This water will quickly evaporate without a trace.

💦 Will you still come if it’s raining?

More often than not, yes we will. Our service maintains your windows all year round.
