How Does it Work? Everyone has the right to work safely, and that includes window cleaners. For decades, work at height was simply accepted as an occupational hazard of the window cleaning industry. Reach & Wash systems allow windows to be cleaned from the safety of the ground using long reaching, telescopic poles. A soft bristled brush is used to scrub the dirt off the glass, while jets of pure w
ater rinse the window. The pure water, as it has no impurities, dries to a spot-free finish leaving no marks behind. Using The Reach & Wash system, modern window cleaning is no longer the dangerous job it once was. FAQ
Q: Will 'Reach & Wash' Pure water clean my windows as well as the old method? A: When cleaned using the Reach & Wash windows will be cleaned better. If you've been having your windows cleaned using a traditional method with soap, you will often see 'spotting' or streaks over the whole window following rain or showers. This is soap residue running down the windows! It's also worth remembering that as well as the glass the window frames will also be cleaned and the sills rinsed as part of the process. Q:Can you clean the window above my conservatory? We can safely reach all windows above conservatories, including velux roof windows from the ground using our Water Fed Poles. We can also clean over obstacles such as pitched roofs making most windows accessible for cleaning. In fact, there aren't many places Water Fed Poles can't reach! Q: Will I need to be in when my windows are cleaned? There's no need to be at home when we clean your windows. We always contact you in advance to advise when we intend to clean. If you're not in at the time we clean, we will put a note through your door to advise we have cleaned. As we respect your privacy, Payment can be made in various ways, without us having to call back during the evenings, giving you time to relax with your family. Q: Do you still clean windows in the rain? A: Living in the UK, unfortunately there's no escaping the weather! Yes we still have to work in the rain, unless it's a storm or snow. We employ staff and they need to be paid. We'd have no staff if we didn't pay them each time it rained. We would also be breaking employment law. Q: Why are my windows left wet and not dried off? A: When you are having your windows cleaned using Pure water, all the trace elements contained in the tap water, known as Total Dissolved Solids or TDS, need to be removed from the water. Pure water attracts dirt like a magnet, as the water wants to return back to its conventional state. So when the windows and frames have been washed and rinsed with Pure water, no residue or dirt is left behind and the water dries naturally without leaving nasty streaks or major spotting.
