I am wondering if pure water is absolutly necessary for poling windows.

Here in BC, Canada I have never seen anyone use pure water in their poles.

Most windows will cause the water to film on to the window and dry clean.  But there are occassionnal windows where the water pearls and then you get spotting. I am wondering if an additive could be added throug a chemical dispenser to prevent pearling?

Any ideas



Also I am amaze at the fact no company has made a double trigger poling system (One for soap and one for rinsing).

I use the Unger Teleplus poles. I bought the first three and they're great for cleaning conservatory roofs with.
It does take some practice to use them for cleaning high windows though. At first I found that it left them streaky. I'm getting better at it though.

I don't think you could control a pole with a squeegee on the end at that height, well I couldn't.  You can control a brush, as it just has to cover all of the glass, but a squeegee is more a precision thing. You can get a squeegee up there, but you will only know what mess you will leave behind once you try it.  I have used a squeegee on a pole successfully on third storey, around 30 feet.

I have not tried using a squeegee at 40' however Sorbo squeegees are claimed to be capable of doing so due to their three position sqeegee chanel. We have happily used them at 20+ feet for internal work.
