Title: Cleaning show today
Post by: colin purewater on March 19, 2013, 04:46:30 pm
All in all I thought it was ok! Only stayed
A couple of hours as there wasn't that much
For windies

Good bits:
Iconic stand was good all the poles out against
The wall and I am impressed by them!
The 45, 60. & 80ft pole look really good
As did the 25 for the price and there was
Even a window you could pole
That parts per billion Machine is some thing else  :o
If I had 9k + vat I'd.......


Not buy one but it looks cool  ;)

The unger stall  was good, nice new mops and cloths
To play with ( think ill be putting an order in)
Friendly staff that were very helpful
(Even to a scoucer)  :o

Most interesting thing I seen was a little internal
Mist pole and pad all in one with a little bowl
For pure on the bottom. Nice simple peace of
Kit made by an Italian company, I hope the stick
To there word and email me the price and order form!


But the highlight of the day was Danny kleenaway when
Mr. Fox was having a little at the facelift poles
At the pure freedom stand, Danny walked over and said
"I wouldn't bother with them mate just go to Gardiners!"

If looks could kill   :D

All in all not a bad morning out apart from £10 burger
For weatherspoons but a nice pint of John smiths non the less  ;)

I saw Mr Fox before lunch at his poles and when someone wanted to buy one he  was missing. If that is the way his goes about business he will not see my pounds, that's for sure.I took the Fella of and he bought a Evolution pole and brush for double the price that what he was going to spent.SORRY FOXY YOU LOST OUT AGAIN.

I bought a 16 inch brush from X Line looks a lot like a Extreme but more bristles so hoping it will be good with hot pure.Price 28 quid. I liked there poles very ridged but too much money , and the clamps work well but a bit clumsy IMO.
     I do not know who designs Unger pole but who ever it is come from another planet.There new brush is a joke big floppy and its looks as  if you should carry it in a street  a parade. I think they see a window needs slapping clean.I am sure someone will come on a say they are great but in my eyes.One word crap.

Colen, Foxy told me he had stock in his van thinking I would buy and that he had sold two that morning. the fella from the stall told me" Foxy was there to support them" and looked around for him and he was gone.

  Don't knock them until you havr tried one, knocks spots of a gardiners brush and lasts a lot longer.

Smithie, I think you are confusing me with someone else. I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you. I didnt go to the Cleaning Show in a van or take 'stock' up ???

But I did meet the Liverpool trio, who were on the wind up!

Well unless you employ someone with grey hair called Steve then the Fella on the stand has told me different.

Haven't got grey hair (no yet any way!) and we don't have a stand at the Cleaning Show. Which stand were you on?

Just got back. Not a lot of wfp stuff really. Some of it though was really good. I did see that hand held Italian sprayer for indoors. £200 is a bit much for it though haha. Under sold one that I liked for much cheaper. Also had a go at the ninja squeegee an I would of liked to of bought one but you couldn't buy anything. I took a fair few quid to buy some goodies and couldn't buy anything at all. I had a go of the Phoenix pole which was very good. Pity they are the same price as Gardiners though. Think if they went in even 10 quid lower then they'd sell a lot more. I'm. Going to get one just to give it a go

Other than that I'm glad I went. Those brushes from under are unbelievable. Never seen anything so big in my life. I loved the trigger they were using on the under stand though. Must get one of them.

I went to the show today and was very UNDERWHELMED !

Its a large show but the window cleaning related stalls put together would just about fill a small industrial unit.

Shows a few years ago were always a good day out with loads to see and do. now there are more cleaners than ever before yet it seems the suppliers cant be bothered to turn out to meet them.

Doubt I will bother again.

Waste of a day!

Two suppliers you always see are window cleaning warehouse and brodex. Neither of them were there. Although I did see craig from wow on the of stand talking about the Phoenix poles

didnt rate any of the poles there, they all just felt heavy, liked the pure freedom isothermal heater its a shame its so expensive, the pure2o ionics systems looked really good,
