Unlike traditional window cleaning methods that use detergents in the water, at Impact Window Cleaning we use highly purified water that is processed on our premises. This water is then gently pumped onto the windows and frames through carbon fibre poles that have specially adapted nylon brushes on the end. The windows and frames are then scrubbed with the nylon brushes to remove all the dirt and then finally they are rinsed.
If purified water flows over a surface it will absorb all pollutants like dust, dirt, grease etc. and will leave a smear free finish. Unlike other cleaning methods purified water does not leave any residue on the glass after the water has dried.
Window cleaning is inherently dangerous and there are up to 10 deaths per year, because of this, window cleaners have new regulations with regards to working at height, for these reasons, the window cleaning industry is addressing the issues of safe working practices, that is why the UK’s leading window cleaning companies including ourselves now use this system.
Yes! Pure water window cleaning is recognised to be better than traditional methods, and will not leave sticky soap residue on the glass or frames and will not attract fresh dirt. With the frames now being cleaned, no dirt will run on to the glass when we get a downpour of rain, giving a better cleaning result than traditional methods. To coin a phrase we are window cleaners not glass cleaners.
When you are having your windows cleaned with our system we use laboratory grade pure water, so when the windows and frames have been scrubbed, washed and then finally rinsed, no dirt is left and the water dries to a natural streak free finish.
