Finding I'm getting increasing annoyed at my hose/protective ball getting caught on things, snagging and generally being a bloody nuisance! Also finding that rinsing off the windows takes probably longer than scrubbing them......and scrapping off crap from the windows can be a mare.
So are there any gadgets, homemade or bought that just makes life easier when out pole pushing?

the hose is a pain, full stop. Nothing we can do about that. Its part of the job.

gardiners super scrapers with scrub pads.removes birdmuck,pollen spots etc easier.

extreme poles 25ft and 47ft and brushes.makes poling all day a whole lot easier.

i never use protector balls.just rectus 26 connectors which last ages compared to rectus 21s.

i work with a high flow which makes rinsing quicker.

working with long hoses all day can be frustrating sometimes but usually better than using a backpack(but not always!).

Unfortunately hoses are something we just have to put up with, I never find bird muck much
of a problem as along as you let it soak for a few minutes.
Experiment with your rinsing and scrubbing you will find that very little rinsing is required
most over rinse and over scrub because they lack confidence in the method.
I tend to scrub more and rinse less because when I scrub I'm not holding the pole off the glass which is harder on the
joints. Don't forget when your scrubbing your still rinsing dirt of the glass.
You will even find guys who don't rinse at all and don't have problems.
You do get a few arguments on here about which is best a high or low flow but to be honest everybody
has their own preference that suits them best and everybody has a different idea of what they class as a high
or low flow.

If you don't rinse enough you will be leaving foreign bodies on the glass. I don't know of any window cleaners who don't rinse at all, but you can be sure if they don't rinse at all they won't be doing a very good job.

Did you ever hear of rinsing on the glass, that's nothing more than a light scrub, and yes there guys on here who don't
rinse.

You really do get your knickers in a twist when someone disagrees with you don't you! Yes I've heard of rinsing on, I do it myself sometimes.
