Using a bucket and squeegee I probably use about 10 litres of water a day.  Water fed pole uses hundreds of litres a day. Some could argue it is not a very 'green' practice.

I would sooner use load of water than
Fall of a ladder and break my neck 

All the water evaporates or goes down the drain so not really a waste

Some may call it "the water cycle"

To be honest mate I value my limbs more than I do the planet. The world isn't going to end before I die so I'll leave the worrying to the future generations while I earn a decent wage from the safety of the ground.

Do you drive to your work with the ladders on the roof rack  

You should walk its better for the enviroment

My sentiments exactly. I am not a ''green'' person myself. I just think it may be difficult to argue that all that water usage is ''environmentally friendly''

10 litres a day . i take it you dont change the water in your bucket much . unless you only work1 hour a day . when i was living in the miiddle ages i used about 40 - 50 litres a day . plus how many litresw does your washiing machine use when your washing those cloths . mine was on twice a week . now its once a month

some would also say , they are not risking thier lives, they dont have to stop in the rain, they dont use chemicels (greener), they wash all the frames they make a lot more money than you, but personally you should stick with trad

WFP  and rainwater harvesting so I am really enviro friendly , went onto rainwater harvesting because I didnt like seeing all that water going to waste from my RO so being on a meter saves me dosh as well .

What is so 'un'green about window cleaning? You get the water, you use it, and its still there. Its not like petrol or diesel that once you've used it it's all gone. Water is always water no matter what yo do to it.

Hi Jackie, I am a rainwater minimalist and use less than most re cycled rainwater, you could also do the same even though your a trad guy here is a link to get you started on your new year resolution.  http://www.rainwaterharvesting.co.uk/index.php?gclid=CNGXpLeKpa0CFUhrfAodhFdTnQ
dont ever rule out wfp to your customers, one day you may develop arthur itis, fallen arches, swollen knees,ankle ache or a broken neck and one day may want to go wfp but if you have rubbished it to your custys you will have closed the door yourself.
Take care, go wfp and save your life 

[Deangsi]

there is the safety aspect to wfp but most will agree you can make alot more money of a pole than a ladder and its safer so in my opinion anyone on ladders needs to move with the times
