Window cleaning used to be something of a craft in
which specialists on ladders would work hard to produce a streak-free
finish using a detergent solution and a sgueegee. But factors such as
speed, efficiency, safety and sustainability have become increasingly
important and perhaps even more valued than craftsmanship.
Enter the water-fed pole solution. But what are the pros and cons of using pure water versus traditional window cleaning systems? Ann Laffeaty finds out. Window cleaning used to be something of a craft in which specialists on ladders would work hard to produce a streak-free finish using a detergent solution and a squeegee. But factors such as speed, efficiency, safety and sustainability have become increasingly important and perhaps even more valued than craftsmanship.
Enter the water-fed pole solution. This removes the environmental
impact of chemicals by using pure water alone while also allowing
operatives to clean windows safely – and more quickly - from the ground.
So why would anyone ever again require a traditional window cleaner?
Marketing manager of Ionic Systems Philip Hanson says the benefits of water-fed pole systems can be summed up in three words: safer, faster and higher. “Using hand tools requires working at height and unfortunately, falls from height have always been the biggest killer of window cleaners,” he said. “Most companies we deal with switch to our Reach and Wash system for safety reasons.”
He says most window cleaning companies can double their productivity by using poles. “In window cleaning where time is money, this increased efficiency is a serious benefit,” said Hanson. And he adds that water-fed poles can clean at greater heights without the need for access equipment. “Currently poles can clean to over 24 metres from the safety of the ground, and cleaning companies are using poles where previously they would have used hydraulic platforms or even rope access,” he said. “This means the work is not only safer, but it is also much more cost-effective.”
