[p-pole]

Did anyone buy the Baudoin wash systems after the cleaning show ? Thought the poles were great but very expensive. What about the indoor cleaning system does it have a future in the cleaning game. I spoke to the company on the phone and turns out you have to add 19 % vat to their prices.

Im going to make my own indoor cleaning pole for a new contract I won, it doesn't need to be anything very complicated, the principle is simple.

It will be similar to the Baudoin one.

just use this hudson pak as your water pump, you can use the superlite pole, or a harris pole, what ever you can afford, the rest is easy

Hi, mates.

I have paid for the Baudoin outdoor & indoor poles and trolley as well. Plan to get in 1,5 weeks. Very expensive, indeed. The kit costs me 2,850 euros ex-works (35ft). But we have the contracts for indoor wc in auto and trade centers.

They are based here in Holland...everything here is expensive....

I recently got a quote for a 650l lay flat water tank from a company here...640 euros was the price....!!! a set of 3 filters for a ro system 10"...62 euro's.....

Despite the 19% VAT here..the price difference is truely scary...hence why I buy all my bits from the UK and normally in bulk.


Cheers

Those are ridiculous prices.

I'm glad I moved to the UK.

Btw, that garden sprayer thing just begs to be used on a small x-tel, and that microfibre swivel pad. Who's going to try it first!!

[Jeff Brimble]

Only downside to it is it runs on small batteries. I have made 2 prototypes on off a flojet and one from a garden sprayer. The big problem I am having is finding small vaporising jets, otherwise even pin hole size jets squirt too far too much water.

Hi jeff,
Have you tried your local agricultural dealer? There are systems for spraying iodine onto cows teats. This comes out as a very fine spray & the nozzles can be plastic or stainless. (1/4" bsp)
(ambic or Cotswold are the big players)

jeff, i use the nozzle from an old pressure sprayer i had, you turn the numpty and you get fine mist, to pencil

I have popped on this thread as Clive asked me about it


i might have missed something ( and i didnt go to the show, thus i havent seen it ), but its just a flat pad ( like you get for laminate floors and a spray ) alot like the FLASH mops they sell, couldnt you just take the head of the FLASH mop and use that ? ? ? ?

have i got the right idea on what this is  ?? ? ?

[jouk45]

yes you got it right matt, we are taking about diying an inside wfp

Thanks Kev, thanks Joe, will do.

Am i right in thinking the pole in the pic was a baudoin?

I thought the poles dear, but i didn't realise that was the complete system, i wonder how much the cloths are?

[Ian W]

I was told the cloths are about £5 each.

Jeff, try jouks idea....or why not phone baudoin up and order their jets!!!

[Jeff Brimble]

I dont speak double dutch  but did get some freebie cleaning solutions off the guy in the crocodile shoes.

[Brian B]

What about the plume spray nozzle for £15.95 on here

Um, surely the biggest drawback of this system is keeping the pad clean? We all know that microfibre cloths don't work very well when they get damp and dirty - you just end up pushing the dirt around. I would imagine you would get through a pad per large pane easily. I haven't seen the system but it does look flawed. A squeegie still works fairly well even with dirty water. I think the future for inside cleaning would be more like the electrical Karcher unit but more advanced. That has a squeegie and simply sucks the dirty water away into a container.
We already have the poles so we are halfway there.

I have got one of those electric Flash mops for hard floors and they work very well. They have an excellent swivel, removable pads and a very good battery run spray which has a button on the handle, this sprays from a changeable bottle. With no effort you could use it as an indoor system. Cost us about £8 in Asda they had them on sale. You could easily fit ordinary microfibre cleaning pads to the head as it uses Velcro to hold the current floor pads in place. It even has a scritchy pad on one side for stubborn marks. I really think they have done the job for us at a bargain price, just fill the bottle with pure water (and maybe isopropanyl) and away you go.
