Stopping ladders digging into grass?

Posted by scwindowcleaning (scwindowcleaning), 19 November 2003
What can you use to stop ladders digging into wet grass and leaving little divets?

Hi,
  You can buy something called a Rojak stopper from most cleaning suppliers Smiley  

Hope this helps

I would want the ladder to dig in a bit, no chance of the ladder sliding away at the bottom.

Me too, it feels much safer when the ladders stuck in a little bit. I've never had a complaint, you just have to do it carefully.

We used to call these "excaliladders" because sometimes the ladder went in so far only the pure in heart could get it back out!

The trouble with letting your ladder dig in is if a customer has new turf you could end up with a big bill Shocked
