When cleaning windows for customers as an add on a customer asks you to clean their uPVC. Do you keep a separate pole and battery backpack to apply TFR or your choosen chemical and keep a seperate WFP only for pure water/windows. So your not contaminating your pure water?

Saw a guy do a video who does this, even rinses uPVC with his good WFP for windows, doesn't touch uPVC till chemical fully rinsed then agitates with his good window WFP and brushes anything left to leave clean uPVC
 
Personally I do use a different brush for gfs (gutter, fascia and soffit) but that's because the longer bristles on it help get behind the gutters. You will not contaminate your pure. If using the same brush make sure all the rubbish and soap is rinsed off the brush before cleaning windows.
I did have 2 backpacks when I worked from my car - one for pure the other for chemicals - I found that easier, I also use different pole hose from the chemical backpack so I didn't need to flush the hose out before reverting to pure.
Again personally, I would clean windows after gsf clean as dirt & chemicals falls down onto windows, so clean them last.
 
Yes definitely start from the top and work your way down so not giving ourselves double the work.
Just starting and have only a basic knowledge and will look into the brushes to learn more about the different bristles and lengths etc. Was just trying to picture if it would affect pure water as be another couple of days before get to try it out on my own house and get going. Thanks for the reply
