When it comes to window cleaning generally there are two ways you can clean windows, traditional window cleaning and water fed pole (WFP). Traditional Window Cleaning typical uses ladders, water, soap, squeegee and cloth's to clean your windows. Water Fed Pole uses an extendable pole with a brush attached to the end, using purified water (000 particles per million, unlike tap water which has lots of chemicals added, such as chlorine), which is then pumped through the WFP brush.

So which is best? 

At H2K, we think water fed pole beats traditional window cleaning hands down. Here are just a few reasons why:

Windows Cleaner for Longer The traditional window cleaning method usually has two issues for the cleanliness of your windows.

Sometimes dirt is left in the crevices of your window frame. When it rains this dirt can become dislodged and leave streaks on your windows. Secondly, traditional window cleaning uses detergents which look sparkling clean to begin with, however leave a film on your windows that attracts the dust and dirt from traffic pollution, making them not stay clean for long.

However with water fed pole cleaning, you don’t experience either of these problems. Special WFP brushes deep clean your glass, window frames and sills, providing a more thorough clean with no dirt left behind. Also using purified water for regular cleaning, means no detergents or impurities left on the glass leaving it stay cleaner for longer.

We Can Reach Higher and Awkward Windows Using ladders isn’t always safe and is an unnecessary risk for injury or worse on your property, Water Fed Pole eliminates this risk. With a water fed pole we can reach windows higher up and hard to reach places such as above your conservatory or extensions, conservatory roofs, Velux's, solar panels and so on.

Water fed pole allows your windows to become accessible to clean which the traditional method wouldn't be possible.

We Can Work in the Rain Working on ladders in the rain is slippery and dangerous. So a traditional window cleaner might not be able to clean your windows on a rainy day.

With WFP this isn't a problem, we can clean your windows whatever the weather, and because rain water is pure water it won't effect the results, allowing us to provide a more reliable and regular service.

It’s more Eco-Friendly Traditional window cleaning uses detergents, this runs off into the ground/drains surrounding your property and can impact the ecosystem.

The water fed pole method uses just pure water, which is much kinder to the environment (apart from an initial deep clean where an alkaline solution is used to return it back to a maintainable state with pure water).

Summary

Water fed pole window cleaning with pure water leaves incredible results. It’s safer, kinder to the environment and allows us to reach the majority of windows.
