im still on squeegy/T BAR and ragging! ;) ;D

i will be adding and most probably be mostly wfp by this time next year.(not hot though!)no need!

thats it!good tools for the job!

i do think that 2 monthly cleans will become the regular frequency due to wfp leaving the windows cleaner for longer!! ::)

The ultimate system would utilise steam!!!. This would allow everyone to carry much smaller quantities of water. I know Glyn looked into this years ago but not sure where he got to with it.

Even if the steam was created from a pool of pure water??

Rob ;D

Post by: Jeff Brimble on February 27, 2010, 06:18:03 pm
Yes, even after RO/DI
However steam is very turbulent and there is a small possibility that as a vortex of steam forces its way through the air that it sucks in dirt from the atmosphere.

Read something on a forum some while ago about de-gassed water.  That is pure water that then has all the dissolved gas removed (all water has gas/air dissolved in it, otherwise fish would die of asphyxiation).  Apparently this water is very aggressive when it comes into contact with air/solids, so dissolves contamination from the surface of the glass.

Heating water using sound is possible, cleaning windows with ultrasonics has been done out of water for delicate glass. The internet links come & go & the ones I did have became dead. I'd stick the links on here, for the blog, but I'd only get banned like last time.

Pure water will not heat up with sound waves nothing to vibrate in pure water.Micro wave water heater for the  water tanks.
I once saw a net made of, looked like fishing gut formed into a net which was placed under a carpet to heat the room.The best thing, it was placed into a tank of water and it boiled the water.This would be good for the winter.I have tried to find out what it was but to nbo joy.

A brush that vibrates the brisels to clean glass without moving the pole to a fro.

Waterless cleaning technology will be the next step, similar stuff to what is used in the car cleaning market. ;)

Big vans & gallons upon gallons of pure water will be a thing of the past.

A general election, followed by huge tax increases, & new tax`s being created on things like water purification, so I think 3 will be number 5 in your list as follows,

step 1   ragging
step 2   sponge and bucket
step 3   squeege and t bar
step 4   wfp/hot wfp
step 5   Squeege & t bar

It is possible, if I could post the links I would.
There is also water structure & it's effect from it's surroundings & also snowflakes (pure) that will change shape & molecular beauty by way of sound.
Ultrasonics are the way forward. It's just making it safe out of water.

Dont understand the suggestion about degassing the water. If you take out the Oxygen aren't you just left with hydrogen, still at least you can run your car on it I believe.

you will love this one vandim, i warned everyone years ago, but no one listened, they must think i am a mad inventor or something  ;D so i took up the gauntlet and did it myself, this is not a little tool, this can be a full system, and will cause a big upset in the industry, i was using it today, and the attention i got from the public was very good advertising, i was being watched, even the children refused to go where there mums where taking them lol, watch this space wont be long now

The prime minister has just said that in the forthcoming budget on the 24 March 2010, that his goverment is re-indroducing the "Window Tax".

He has stated that this will revieve the building industry, because its cheaper to build a building if it doesn't have windows.

Reporters have asked what people will be able to look at if there are no windows?

The prime minister replied that is the real beauty of this tax, instead of windows, they can have flat screen tvs instead, this is ideal for everyone, firstly our factories can re-tool and start making flat screan tvs, bringing hundreds of thousands of new jobs, in fact there's properly be more vacancies than there are currently on the dole, but he said that will be solved by lifting all imirigration rules.

Next he said that it will resolved the problem of people moving homes, if someone whats a different area, all they have to do is insert a dvd of the new area they are interested in, so now the goverment  have cured the housing market.

He was asked about the affects this will have on the window cleaning trade, but the prime minister pointed out that there will be millions of tv screans to be cleaned instead, it also resolves the working at height problem, because all the tvs will be placed on walls that are easy to reach.
