Title: Internal stairwells 15 ft clean how?
Post by: chez on November 07, 2013, 05:34:45 pm: Hey guys.
Got a contract which I have been cleaning just over a year, and now they have asked us to clean the inside of the stairwells 3 monthly which are up to 15 ft high. Not allowed to take ladders inside which I would prefer.
Can anyone mention best/quickest method they use. Wagtail? Cheap pole, if so which pole. The microfibre Velcro system? Don't really want to invest in the dragonfly system as I don't think I would get the money back that quickly.
Much appreciation of your thoughts. Anyone with actual experience would help!
Cheers all
Chez

YouTube has some good videos showing technique.
Unger fixi clamps with a scrim and unger padholders are good too.

Post by: Total shine cleaning services on November 07, 2013, 10:40:10 pm: we use the wagtail (flipper) cheap pole, get the 5 metre Harris pole off amazon, about £15, then buy the unger connector off wintecs, about a fiver, drill and screw it onto Harris pole, as above we then bought the unger pad holder and a lot if there microfibre pads, more or less the same as the easy shine set up
