Different methods. Different advantages.
Traditional window cleaning and water-fed pole cleaning can both deliver clean glass, but the equipment and process are different. Here’s how our purified-water system helps us clean your windows, frames and sills from the ground wherever access allows.
THE TRADITIONAL METHOD
Traditional window cleaning
Uses a hand-held applicator and squeegee to wash and wipe the glass. Reaching upper-floor windows can require ladders or other access equipment.
- Useful for internal glass and suitable low-level windows
- Often focuses mainly on the glass itself
- Upper-level access may involve working at height
OUR REGULAR EXTERNAL METHOD
Water-fed pole cleaning
Uses a telescopic pole, soft brush and purified water to clean the glass, frames and sills from ground level wherever practical.
- Reduces the need for ladders on many properties
- Cleans glass, frames and sills in one process
- Purified water dries naturally when properly cleaned and rinsed
AT A GLANCE
The key differences
Here are the main things to consider when choosing a window-cleaning method.
Safety
Water-fed poles allow many external windows to be cleaned from the ground, reducing the need for ladder work.
Reach
A telescopic pole can reach many upper-floor windows and awkward areas from ground level.
Finish
Purified water has minerals removed, helping prevent mineral spots when the glass is cleaned and rinsed correctly.
What's cleaned
The brush can clean glass, frames and sills together as part of the external clean.
Regular upkeep
Routine cleaning helps stop dirt and grime building up on windows, frames and sills.
A CLOSER LOOK
Why we use a purified water-fed pole system
1. Safer window cleaning
Traditional window cleaning can require ladders to reach upper-floor windows, introducing risks associated with working at height. Our water-fed pole system allows us to clean many windows safely from ground level, reducing the need for ladders and minimising these risks.
2. More than just the glass
Traditional squeegee cleaning focuses primarily on the glass, with frames and sills often requiring additional attention. Our water-fed pole system cleans the glass, frames and sills together, removing built-up dirt, cobwebs and grime for a more thorough clean.
3. The benefits of purified water
Ordinary tap water contains minerals that can leave spots and marks when it dries. We use highly purified water with these minerals removed, allowing windows to dry naturally to a spotless finish when cleaned and rinsed correctly.
4. No soaps or detergents
Our routine water-fed pole cleaning uses purified water rather than soaps or detergents. This avoids routine detergent application and associated residues while keeping the process simple.
5. Helping maintain your windows
Regularly cleaning your windows, frames and sills helps prevent dirt and grime from building up. Keeping them clean helps maintain their appearance and saves you time over the long run.
