Looking at an atrium clean on a office development .OK at getting most of the windows jfrom a small ladder and other from the staircase with either mop n squeeze or unger cleaning kit theres just a few that are high... question is have lads in the past used wfp on the odd couple of windows...low flow rate with a trolly ..fan jets..there's not any decorated walls near the windows concerned...

Good luck with that....
use internal pads on long pole
or
get in some access equipment

I can remember years ago Ionics had a reach and wash pole with a hoover that sucked up the water as you poled, don't know if they are still on the market, wasn't cheap when they brought it out but then they were previously Over The Top with pricing.

Someone is showing their age :)
I think they're still Over The Top with their pricing now. Good kit though.

Maybe it would be okay to do just the odd few windows inside with the WFP. If going down that route though, it'd probably be best to run it past the customer first and put some old blankets or sheets down or something to soak up much of the run off or drips.
As already mentioned, I think there is a internal WFP system on the market or at least there was at one time. I have a memory of something called the Dragon Fly but it was pretty expensive. Only worth getting if you'd use it a lot.

If you want overpriced gear there's the year old Phantom Mod set up from Facelift/Window Cleaning Warehouse. Still need 2nd operator to soap up the window then the vac head attachment squeegee's solution and sucks up drips 🤦

Dare I suggest a footed ladder?

However, if you specialize I imagine this might be cost effective. Especially as it attaches to readily available vacs.
Anyone know what they cost?

We did 2 atriums on our local high school. The school provided a 3 section ladder for the entrance atrium, and a tower for the main atrium. We provided harnesses.
One of the window cleaners did what was ICI, and they used wfp with absorbent mats on the floor.
Our school atrium was full of wiring in the frames for lights, door alarms and other things. We couldn't employ the same tactic, although I looked at the idea very carefully.

Whole host of replacement/additional parts. Shortest pole kit and Vak head about a grand.
