When I'm cleaning windows

[^woody^]

No, I'm not after a ukelele but a window cleaning pole system for the house - for windows, cladding and plastic around the eaves/soffit /verge. The pole will ideally need to be around 6m long

It looks like there are the options for a cheap pole and brush or cloth using traditional soap and water (£20 or so ), or the potentially better and easier (but more expensive) pure water systems (£130 or so ).

Is anyone using either and can share the advantages or disdavantages?

Or if anyone knows what I would actually need for a pure water system and how long the resin lasts, that would be good to know.

Good length of 3x2 and strap a belt around the apprentice?

I'm sending the HSE to your site.

Soapy water leaves smears, my window cleaner uses an additive which leaves the windows clear and so does not need to wipe them.

My window cleaner uses a water purifying system. It goes further than the water softener I use, but with ordinary softened water, I can clean a glass mirror or other glass, and it leaves no smears or watermarks.

I usually add half a drop of WUL to each bucket of washing water, in case of grease, and rinse off with softened hot water. It also leaves the car very shiny and doesn't need leathering off.

The cheap pole would probably be ok for your pvc soffits & guttering but it will just leave residue on you glass, that's why the window cleaners use purified water. How long your resin will last depends on how hard it has to work to get your water clean. You will also need a 12v pump
