Changing from traditional cleaning to waterfed poles

  • August 9, 2021

Traditional OVA8

Making the change from a traditional window cleaning round can be a big leap for some, but it is ultimately worth it in the long run.

Investing in quality, anti-spin waterfed poles from OVA8 is the best first step to take on your journey to becoming a waterfed pole cleaner.
We offer a wide range of accessories to ensure you’re fully prepared for the big switch, and you will be able to offer a much more professional finish.

While the traditional way of cleaning has been used by window cleaners for hundreds of years, there are a number of reasons to make the switch to a waterfed pole.

Here at OVA8, we’ve broken it down for you to help you make the most informed decision about the future of your window cleaning round.

Safety

This is a big reason for many window cleaners, and rightly so. Changing health and safety rules and regulations have led to the emergence of waterfed poles, especially in commercial window cleaning.

Climbing up a ladder with a cloth and a bucket of water just isn’t that safe anymore. The window cleaning industry isn’t as well regulated as other industries but is improving. It’s up to the window cleaners themselves to prove that they can work safely.

While using a ladder in the summer, on hot dry days, can be fine. It becomes riskier when it’s been raining, or there’s ice or frost around residential or commercial properties. The price for setting up as a traditional window cleaner might be smaller, but riskier in the long term. Using a waterfed pole is on the ground only, so no potential of falling from a ladder.

Quantity AND quality

Waterfed poles deliver a professional finish that just can’t be achieved by traditional window cleaning. OVA8 anti-spin poles and our wide-ranging accessories provide your customer’s window frames will have a much deeper clean.

No soap, or other cleaning agents, are used when cleaning with a waterfed pole, meaning that there’s no risk of streaks or dirt build-up. Products with soap in them, no matter how many times you buff it with a cloth, will always leave residue behind. Build up over time will attract more dust, pollen, and pollution.

You can deliver a fantastic finish in half the time, thanks to the efficient waterfed pole system which we offer at OVA8.
