Converting to Waterfed Pole

Cleaning windows with ladder

No Ladder Required

More and more window cleaners are starting up a window cleaning business or converting from traditional window cleaning to waterfed poles.
Health & Safety Executive states if window cleaning can be done from the ground then it should, as ladder work is definitely a higher risk and should be avoided where possible.

It can be very easy to start a window cleaning business with a ladder, bucket, traditional toolset. However, the hard part is starting a customer base in close proximity to your home which reduces travel costs.
Once established and with a regular income, plans can be made to expand and convert to a faster window cleaning system.

 

Waterfed Pole System

An inexpensive waterfed pole system could be simple – DI Resin + vessel to purify tap water; 25 litre drums for storing pure water. A delivery trolley unit and a waterfed pole or more complete van-mounted system.  This long-term good investment and can be found readily via a number of manufacturers and suppliers.

 

Convert Your Traditional Clean Customers to WaterFed Pole Window Cleaning

Converting your customer from leaving dry windows with traditional systems to then leaving windows wet with the water fed pole system can be tricky, but worth the hassle.
Firstly, explain to your customers you want to work safer and that you’ve experienced a few near misses with the ladder, had fallen, damage to lawns/plant beds, suffered from bad shoulders… I think you get the points to make!
Secondly, sell the benefits of cleaning windows with pure water and pole cleaning. The biggest benefit is health and safety both for you – and the customer – not having to carry and use ladders, as it means there’s also no damage to their property or yourself.
A good way of explaining the benefits of cleaning with pure water against soap water is:
Pure water is produced by filtering tap water numerous times to remove particles, chlorine, and carbon and then positively charge the clean water using resin. This makes an active cleaning solution.
Soapy water is a good cleaner, however, it contains polymers that fill voids in the surface to produce a shine. These polymers remain tacky and will attract more dirt quicker than compared to pure water, which has no chemical deposits.
The main benefit to the customer is the windows stay cleaner for longer in between cleans, and all framework is cleaned at the same time, producing a more extensive clean at no extra cost.
This has worked for us for many years and is often easy for customers to understand.
