Did anyone else know that Cleantech has gone out of business? I phoned them today to order some supplies and they told me
-
Thats a shame.
-
Yes mate, there was a thread on here not long back about it :(
-
It was mentioned on the cleaning forums a while back
-
Yes I knew
-
The Scottish one?
-
"The Scottish one?"
Didnt know there was more than one. website for the "scottish cleantech" still up and running so guess its not that one.
-
The Scottish one?
yes the one based in Kilmarnock has ceased operating.
-
that's a shame... friendly company that gave what the customer wonted! guess its the sign of the times
-
The Scottish one?
yes the one based in Kilmarnock has ceased operating.
Checked website and still running. What's the truth?

Oh, I see. Shame. :o

Hmmmmm don`t know spoke with mike last week and he does not know what he is going to do!
Far as i know there are 3/4 companies interested in his place, i have a feeling it could well still be a window cleaning suppy shop
As i had asked mike about taking over the trad side of the supplies and he said he did not know what he was going to do just said i would get a letter,
But strange enough he is building a workshop upstairs!
As streamline was his suppliers for most of his wfp gear it would not surprise me to see them take over and mike would be working for them?
Why else would you build a workshop if you were giving up?
-
Hmm, the soup thickens.
-
I hope Mike carries on, his pump box's are legendary! ;)
-
Yes i hope he carries on to! even if it is working for someone else as he was so helpful!
-
Hmm :-\ We use Cleantech basic aluminium poles, converted for WFP. Great, cheap pole but the clamp inserts don't last very long. Been buying replacements for some years now, but if I can't get them anymore the poles will soon be redundant.
Anyone know if there's an alternative supplier?
-
Ionics?
-
Along with a few other innovations Gardiners R&D are rumoured to be readying a new pump board.My spies tell me they'll be easy to detach in cold weather, you can knock a system up in a few minutes with them, and could be the new industry standard.

A QD pump board would be a good idea. Obvious advantages.

Ian, the Cleantech basic pole was made by Unger, give them a phone to see where you can buy the inserts.

Cleantech have been doing them for years! I've had a quick detach pump box for 7 years Slumpy! Am I really 7 years in front here? :o ;D

All my systems for the last 10 years have come in a pump box so that you have the choice of taking it indoors when needed. It is maybe a Scottish thing with the colder weather.

Can we snuggle up to it?
-
You'll be able to decide for yourself.The suppliers are always going one better, and then one better again. It keeps things fresh and interesting.Even seasoned seven years in front guys like yourself winp can sometimes be pleasantly surprised.Assuming it has a kicker (a big improved feature) what would you think that could be?
-
What?
-
I'm just having a joke. If there was something going on i'd be the last person he'd tell.
On the actual thread i hope mike comes out okay.

Thanks Peter ;)
Spoke to Unger who directed me to www.windowcleaningstuff.com spoke to Tony who says they have taken over Cleantech's database so if you are a registered Cleantech customer they already have your details :)
They don't have access to your order history, or anything else.
They do have my pole inserts :)
Cheers,
Ian

Update to the above:
Had a receipt for my e-mail, just to confirm it had been displayed on Window Cleaning Stuff's computer. Since then, nothing.
Just tried phoning them, phone's unobtainable :o
Is there some sort of virus sweeping through the suppliers and knocking them out one by one??

Phew!!
Just phoned them, it was phone lines blown down by the wind - apparently there's a hurricane in Scotland at the moment ;D
