Post by: Steve H on October 12, 2012, 06:35:50 pm: im no expert on wfp, however, surely if you are spilling pure water on it (and no detergent) then it cant do any harm, have you explained that to the client or do they think you have detergent in the water??? Pure water is... pure water, thats going to damage any glass roof in my book ???

I wouldn't say it's a gimmick, it's definitely easier to clean. Just don't take the name too literally.
