I done so many of these over the years and you all know on a first clean loads of water and your brush sometimes isnt aggresive enough...easier way.......backpack with gg3 diluted (just water from your tank if no backback) with the following on your pole easily made then once youve done all windows just go back over with your normall poles

Not sure about doing that on windows , but could be onto a winner for con roofs, good idea ;)
-
It works fine on windows..its a window cleaning applicator only it has continuous water feed not dipping in and out of bucket so you can scrub the glass harder than you can with a brush.....then you only need a once pass with your water fed pole after instead of 2/3 but this works fine for anyone else

I was meaning the frames sorry you cant get into them with an applicator

are you using a visea versa t bar there , the simple ideas are allways the best .
-
That's pretty excellent. :)

Good little idea there but i prefer to just turn the heater on for the dirty jobs lol. ;D ;D
-
Interesting idea though I won't be doing it myself. Maybe it could be taken a stage further if it's for scrubbing very dirty windows. There are applicator sleeves with a scrubbing pad down one side. Maybe that would serve you even better?

Fit a porcupine sleeve and you would have a formidable cleaner for cladding - no need to waste your money on hot water. ;D
I think it's a brilliant idea, not that far removed from the indoor pad idea from that mega expensive Dutch company. You might even be able to use microfibre sleeves and much finer jets.
For cladding it would soak up those dirty drips that gather after a clean, would also hold tfr or a soap solution longer than a brush for scrubbing conservatory roofs. Biggest drawback would be that it won't self clean like a brush does.

The reason really i made this is for the last 4 years ive been cleaning a building that has "self cleaning glass" right.....which is right by a main industrial road...now the builing has 50 6 ' x 6 tinted panes of glass that come down at an angle...anyway when i first cleaned with just water fed poles even after 3 scrubs you could still see the traffic film so it took 4 scrubs and 7 hours later ....but using this first with a back pack full of gg3 mixed first and then one clean with water fed pole after not only have i saved water ive also got the glass perfectly clean and also cut the time down to 2 hours each month .........SIMPLES ..........

Brilliant stuff. I will try to keep that in mind when a similar situation/job arises.

JUST BUY YOURSELF A PROPER BRUSH!,
I can't be faffing about with different gadgets! ;D

I throw a fly mesh scrim over brush if it's really bad to speed the job up.
