Each year
many reports are made of window cleaners incurring serious injury or even death
due to falling from ladders. Thankfully, in recent years modern technology has
provided window cleaners with the opportunity to avoid the dangers associated
with working at height. Safer methods of cleaning have been developed involving
the use of water fed poles. It is likely you have already seen other
professional window cleaners using this system.
How it
works:
Dirt on the windows is agitated with a soft bristled brush and then rinsed away
with extremely pure water. This can be done from the safety of the ground by
pumping the water up a long pole. You may find it surprising to see that the
windows are left wet to dry naturally. Being pure, the water does not leave
mineral deposits as it dries as normal tap water would. Instead windows are
left sparkling clean with none of the streaks that occasionally even the best
window cleaner with a squeegee may leave behind. The results are very
impressive.
Why we decided to use it:
We are sure you agree that it makes good sense
to avoid working at height if it is possible and practical to do so. Especially
since the introduction of new health and safety regulations governing work at
height, we felt that it was the right time to adopt these safer working
practices.
