The image below looks more like a “Cirque du Soleil” act than a professional window cleaning photo. But make no mistake, this photo taken in the early 1900’s truly captures what professional window cleaners dealt with in those early years. Having been a professional window cleaner myself for over 20 years now, I have watched firsthand the ground breaking advancements made within the window cleaning industry. Without a doubt the single greatest technological advancement has been the introduction of Ultra-Pure Water Technology and the Water Fed Pole. Ultra-Pure Water Technology is a process were water is filtered by either a two-stage or three-stage filtration system. This usually includes a carbon filter, with a de-ionization filter, or a carbon filter, a reverse osmosis filter, and a de-ionization resin filter. The filtering process brings the waters TDS (total dissolved solids) down to 0 ppm, (parts per million) resulting in a spot free, streak free, chemical free, 100% green clean. Ultra-Pure Water Technology creates a very advanced way of cleaning windows and includes many benefits. Below is a list of 6 of the benefits associated with Ultra-Pure Water Technology & professional window cleaning. ULTRA-PURE WATER TECHNOLOGY IS MUCH SAFER Historically window cleaning has been accomplished with the use of various ladders. Ladders have always been very much a part of professional window cleaning and indispensable as they allow window cleaners access to high and hard to reach windows. With the invention of the Water fed pole and Pure-Water Technology, window cleaners can now clean windows from the ground without the need for a ladder. In fact, many commercial companies daily perform window cleaning services up to 7 stories from the ground without the use of a ladder. Pure Water-Technology and the invention of the Water fed Pole has introduced a much safer way for professional window cleaners to perform their services. ULTRA-PURE WATER WINDOW CLEANING IS HIGH-TECH Unlike the traditional method of cleaning a window with a squeegee and mop, the Ultra-Pure Water delivery system is truly high-tech. Immediately after the water leaves the purification process it is than run through specially designed tubing. This tubing is than run up a very light, very strong carbon fiber pole outfitted with a special window cleaning brush. These brushes come in many sizes and shapes utilizing both mono filament as well as real Boars hair for maximum cleaning power. The brushes release the Ultra-Pure water to agitate the debris off the windows and then the brush is lifted a few inches from the glass to rinse the glass with the pure water jets. Fan jets are used for hydrophobic glass, and "pencil" jets are used for hydrophilic glass. ULTRA-PURE WATER IS AN AGGRESSIVE CLEANER The final stage in creating the Ultra-Pure water is accomplished using a de-ionization filter. The de-ionized water is lacking in ions, so it will pull solids off the glass and dissolve the solids into the water, aiding in the cleaning process. Ultra-Pure Water is actually a very aggressive cleaner that produces amazing results without the need for any soap solutions or hazardous chemicals. ULTRA-PURE WATER CREATES 100% GREEN CLEAN While most traditional window cleaning soaps and solutions are non-toxic and very user friendly, nothing can compare with Ultra-Pure water and a 100% green clean. Windows that are cleaned with Ultra-Pure water create run-off that is absolutely environmentally friendly and creates zero problems for your home, plants or pets. ULTRA-PURE WATER WINDOW CLEANING INCLUDES FRAMES White vinyl frames are very common with Milgard windows as well as Anderson and others. These white frames often get dirty along with the glass. Ultra-pure water window cleaning requires that frames are fully cleaned even before the glass to prevent the Ultra-Pure water from becoming contaminated and creating spots. Frame cleaning, like track cleaning is not something that is usually part traditional window cleaning, making the Ultra-Pure method a tremendous upgrade. ULTRA-PURE WATER ALLOWS WINDOWS TO STAY CLEAN LONGER Windows may look flat and smooth to the naked eye, but they are in fact very porous. When windows are cleaned using traditional methods (Squeegee, Mop & Soap) trace amounts of soap solutions remain on the glass. These soap solutions will create a sort of magnetic pull which attracts dust. Ultra-Pure Water window cleaning leaves windows without any soap residue and the result is a window that stays cleaner longer. Author/Marc Kunze
