Title: what system?
Post by: Alan McTernan on March 23, 2010, 09:46:22 pm: Hi guys,

I have been asked by a large building contractor if i do window cleaning, i said no, he said thats a shame because i need a 6 acre site (regular) and a large warehouse cleaned. So i am looking to take the plunge and invest in a full set up to go in my existing van (if i get the contract). I have just spent the last hour or so checking previous posts and am still not sure which one to go for!!!!

So what system to you guys recommend? And i would also be looking at a training course to go on!!!

Cheers
Alan

As for systems, there is a multitude to choose from, depends exactly what you need and how bothered you are about things like safety.

Very good price & crash tested. They sell the best poles & brushes too IMO. ring them, they're good people to deal with.

Other than that, buy a 400ltr tank, 2 DI vessels, pump box, hose reel, pole & brush & off you go. ;)

You can always sort an RO out later if your in a hard water area but the above will get you going right away.

you honestly do not need to go on a course, pratise on your own windows for a hour or so and you will get the knack of it

you could allways ask a local window cleaner to watch him for a hour or 2

i clean mine like this

brush around the edges of the glass
brush up and down moving across the glass
1 last brush of the top of the pane
then rinse ( pull brush away from glass a few inches ) moving left to right whilst moving down the glass

you dont need a window cleaninfg school for that

The training with them was brill! after that when youve got the tricks of the trade get stuck in, its not brain taxing!
Mart.
