wfp hands
« on: May 09, 2012, 09:51:31 pm »
do any of you get saw hands  after a days work using your CLX poles,  i dont know if its the pole or just a new cleaning method making my hands feel saw,    i know you are advised to wear gloves,   this might be a bit restricting   i dont know yet,  all a learning curve.   people seem surprised when i tell them its not normal tap water im using.

 The water is mildly acidic but you will get used to it. Try gloves occasionally.

cant say I do, but try wearing light weight fingerless cycling gloves now spring is here, less restricting and you can keep them on whilst writing driving etc

blisters on calases are part and parcel of window cleaning, your hands harden to this.

when you start to get cracks on your hands get some good hand cream to soften up the cracks, I get them on my thumbs quite a bit, I do wear gloves sometimes but feels alien
