Hi folks.
I popped into a pub in Plymouth recently to ask about their window cleaning 'cause their windows were dirty. The landlady told me that she had a window cleaner but he was late and she wasn't happy with him anyway. Apparantly he runs a " green " window cleaning service. The reason she wasn't happy was down to his choice of chemicals, though being green that's probably the wrong choice of word. Apparently they choke her customers and her!!
Now, as most of my work is WFP, not on the insides though eh, I can't imagine anything is more green than pure water; apart from the waste I guess.
Has anyone else come across these sorts of companies in their areas?
It's the first time I've heard of him, though if he has the same affect on all of his customers I think I'll follow him around and offer them a " no choking " option ;)

Maybe he uses Ammonia. That causes a right stink
-
Ammonia doesn't seem too "green"
Maybe when he sells his services as green its because thats what colour his customers turn. ;D

I used to use that and you're right, it's horrible. I then swithed to a chemical called Ubik. Now however, since the ciggie ban pub windows don't get particularly dirty and simple soap works fine.

Alex explains how pure water is greener than trad.
Because you use no soap.
And when you put your trad cloths in the washing machine it takes hundreds of litres to wash it through and then when the soapy waste goes to the water filtration plant it takes many hundreds more to get all the soap out to make it drinkable again.

Not so green at all really is it ??? ???

I thought recycling Rainwater was going "Green"!
If like me you used to use a clear IBC Tank... your water certainly will!
Now using black IBC tank, excellent, clear and no waste water, unlike my Merlin!

I don't think that carrying hundreds of liters of water around is very green. Extra deisel and all that. Maybe his name is green. Ammonia is just part of the natural nitrogen cycle.

Several people have suggested I play up the fact that my surname is Green to imply the fact that my WFP is environmentally friendly. As in "Green window cleaning" .
I on the other hand get a mental picture of some musili eating vegetarian Guardian reader who does a crap job and talks to his customers about recycling toilet paper.
Not my style.
