No not really. There was a lady in Scotland who used a bicycle with a trailer but soon gave that up. She now has a van.Could somebody help me out here me and my mate don't drive and we are looking to know can u use a system to clean windows without driving
Only other option would be a horse and cart, a 2 man setup requires at least a 650l tank. With other gear you're looking at a tonne plus,Could somebody help me out here me and my mate don't drive and we are looking to know can u use a system to clean windows without driving
The trolley system that we r looking at is a 40 litre tank which I think we could wheel around OK, the houses wee clean only have 4 windows at the top so think 40 litres would do a good few housesNo not really.

You can run a window cleaning round traditionally with ladders but it will be difficult as you really need a compact round to make that work and even then, that won't be easy.
Its the same as asking if you can travel to the moon but you don't have a rocket.
Most of us will use between 350 and 500 liters of pure water a day. 500 liters weighs 1/2 a ton. You aren't going to move that around by hand. So sorry, you need to get your drivers licenses first I'm afraid.
I would guess you would be lucky to do 20 windows with 40 litres!!! That's maintenance cleans with experience. On first cleans you might use 2-3 times that amount!!! So maybe 6 to 10 windows if you are lucky!The trolley system that we r looking at is a 40 litre tank which I think we could wheel around OK, the houses wee clean only have 4 windows at the top so think 40 litres would do a good few houses
Boy told me on phone that wee could full the system up with water from somebodys tap out the back but I was talking to window cleaner I seen today and he said it cannot be done, do u know if wee can or not?I would guess you would be lucky to do 20 windows with 40 litres!!!

All my houses are in the same area carrying ladder is no problem would just like system as it seems handyNo learn to drive or go around the estates with a ladder on a push bike. Seen plenty doing just that in Belfast and Londonderry.
Good luck.
Funny enough my Da has a horse and cart lolOnly other option would be a horse and cart, a 2 man setup requires at least a 650l tank. With other gear you're looking at a tonne plus,
That is possible. Not ideal though.Boy told me on phone that wee could full the system up with water from somebodys tap out the back but I was talking to window cleaner I seen today and he said it cannot be done, do u know if wee can or not?
To be honest mate you need to do a lot of reading and research.Boy told me on phone that wee could full the system up with water from somebodys tap out the back but I was talking to window cleaner I seen today and he said it cannot be done, do u know if wee can or not?
I know I can't use just tap water the trolley system I looked at Purify the water from a tapTo be honest mate you need to do a lot of reading and research.
If you use tap water you will leave water marks on the windows and they will look terrible.
You need pure water not tap water.
Just so you know if you are working on peoples houses you really need liability insurance. Imagine if your trolley fell over into someones car!!!! To name just one possibility.
There are some systems that can run off customers taps but you are talking £2,000+ and they will only work from a tap!!!
That will do it. Basically a fancy version of what I said but with a pump and battery to up the pressure. It will still burn through resin though so It'll have a high running cost but at least is better than climbing ladders and can get you started until you can get a vehicle.I know I can't use just tap water the trolley system I looked at Purify the water from a tap
