whats the next step in the evolution of window cleaning,

step 1   ragging
step 2   sponge and bucket
step 3   squeege and t bar
step 4   wfp/hot wfp
step 5   ? any ideas, 

what do you think could make it better?

wet&dry vac, a system where as you clean the windows the vac sucks the water of to leave them clean and dry

[dazmond]

im still on squeegy/T BAR and ragging!

i will be adding and most probably be mostly wfp by this time next year.(not hot though!)no need!

thats it!good tools for the job!

i do think that 2 monthly cleans will become the regular frequency due to wfp leaving the windows cleaner for longer!! :

the self raising pole is next, i am working on it now, just thing no fumbling with clamps just the press of a trigger, same for closing the pole, i am not talking of anything similar to peter fogwills clampless pole

hoseless  waterfed pole systems

i have invented that already, best pole ever, but no company has made me any offers yet, still waiting

The ultimate system would utilise steam!!!. This would allow everyone to carry much smaller quantities of water. I know Glyn looked into this years ago but not sure where he got to with it.

Steam still leaves spots 
Karlos has an idea that sound will be the next thing, got a link Karl ?

[Rob_Mac]

Even if the steam was created from a pool of pure water??

Rob

[Jeff Brimble]

Yes, even after RO/DI
However steam is very turbulent and there is a small possibility that as a vortex of steam forces its way through the air that it sucks in dirt from the atmosphere.

Thanks jeff

Read something on a forum some while ago about de-gassed water.  That is pure water that then has all the dissolved gas removed (all water has gas/air dissolved in it, otherwise fish would die of asphyxiation).  Apparently this water is very aggressive when it comes into contact with air/solids, so dissolves contamination from the surface of the glass.

I've already got the self raising pole. About seven thirty every morning

Heating water using sound is possible, cleaning windows with ultrasonics has been done out of water for delicate glass. The internet links come & go & the ones I did have became dead. I'd stick the links on here, for the blog, but I'd only get banned like last time.

Pure water will not heat up with sound waves nothing to vibrate in pure water.Micro wave water heater for the  water tanks.
I once saw a net made of, looked like fishing gut formed into a net which was placed under a carpet to heat the room.The best thing, it was placed into a tank of water and it boiled the water.This would be good for the winter.I have tried to find out what it was but to nbo joy.

[wizard]

A brush that vibrates the brisels to clean glass without moving the pole to a fro.

Wait 'til you get to Tosh's age - the embarrassment of "hiding the horn" behind your newspaper will be a thing of distant memory.

Waterless cleaning technology will be the next step, similar stuff to what is used in the car cleaning market.

Big vans & gallons upon gallons of pure water will be a thing of the past.
