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 how can pure water fed pole methods possibly clean windows as well as tradditional methods, I hear you ask?

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 little known fact about pure water is that it actually possesses a remarkably solvent capability, resulting in the capacity of these charged ions to bond with other ions in the same way.

Simply put, when purified water flows over a surface, it actually dissolves and absorbs all potential substances and because the final rinse is also pure water when left to dry naturally it leaves a streak-free surface behind.

Reach and Wash WFP can access windows up to 7 floors high all with out the risks of ladder access, and trained professional window cleaners will be able to get perfect results every time rain or shine.

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.
