Well, here we go.......

I cleaned a couple of large windows last week with my 18' pole.
They came up a treat, but it was hard work..
I had to do them from 10' up my ladder!

WFP or Ladders are safer than WFP up a Ladder :o

Has the health and safety exec published any details about window cleaning accidents. I think they have to publish any 'reported accidents'

I find I scratch the glass trying to use ladders.

The brush is softer on wfp.

I've had a ladder in my garden for 5 years. It's never had an accident yet. In fact for 5 years, it hasn't moved.

Mind you, my wfp pole has never had an accident either.

Its all down to the user, a s with any tool if you take chances or try to cut corners then accidents will happen

Hi Pat- just joking. Is that "cutting corners"  a new type of fanning the window technique ?

WFP with Squeaky straped to the end is safest.

Fastest wfp on the market, no wasting water, no spots etc.  ;)
