Bars on windows
« on: May 03, 2010, 06:30:47 pm »
I've just landed a contract to clean the windows in a large public building.  ;D
Most of the upper windows have bars over the window frames and, when I priced the job I thought a standard 10inch WFP brush would do the trick. I did the first clean this morning and, unfortunately, the bars stop the brush head from sitting squarely on the glass.   :'(
My question is - where can I get a brush that is less than 10 inches wide (8 would be best)?

Not a prison Stan, but a large Victorian Town Hall with high mullioned windows. At some point it was thought that bars on the outside would stop people falling out. Very little chance of that, but it's now a listed building and the bars are ther to stay.

I HAVE just bought a brush head exactly for that kind of work, with bars.

Bought it from Ionics = called The Sidewinder

The brush head drops down, then when you turn the pole it goes back to its normal position to clean the windows.
