Title: Tip Of The Day
Post by: ftp on May 22, 2009, 04:14:06 pm
A tip given to me by an old, retiring windowcleaner in my area:

You know when you are winding in your reel hose and you've got loads of hose out at an awkward angle with loads of tension?
Well you can't run it through your hand 'cos it burns like hell, so you grab a cloth only it adds to the tension?

Well, the answer is to clip a climbers karrabiner around the hose and hold that - brilliant and simple.

Good idea that but i use a damp cloth so it slides easier and cleans the hose at the same time.

Yea what he said lol.

Spray bottle of desinfectant works a treat, you never know where the hose goes, this way it cleans the hose and keeps it free from nasties. And slides well enough.
