Internal Windows

[mark m]

I am pricing a internal office job at the moment as there is a lot of computers and paperwork everywhere some of the walls are 8ft high made of glass with the desk in front so could be a pain to reach so i was thinking at looking at a vikan easyshine kit or the unger internal kit both the same sort of money what is best ? are they any good or just for people like H lol sorry mate

You have a clx 4?? Well you can buy an adapter for the vikan easy shine so you can connect the head to your clx.. So just buy the head pal.. With the scrubber mop and a few micros, save yourself a few ££...

^^ that's what I'm doing... But I need to buy a clx 4!!!

i have been think along those lines a well but do mops micros etc work or do i price to move tables etc and just use squeegge ?

Never used one mate. I'd say it would be hard work and take longer than with squeegee. Are the windows bad? Is there glass under the desks or they stop above the top?

I want to get one set up as it would come in handy for some work

no glass below desk but i can see it would be a pain if i have to move the desk , i could hop on desk but even that looks a pain

The viking kits are great, but down side to them you need a lot of pads as the get damp and they just marks on the window,

I use one on a wedding shop, they always got several wedding dresses in the windows and range in price of £1,000 to £7,000 each, works well on them,

As long as there is guard rail, has harness on, hard hat and no hot tea/coffee then he will be fine!!! Lol

I have a Vikan one mate. Pretty good - I do some factory offices with it that are tall and start at waist height. A right pain to do trad (I used to do them trad until I got the vikan) but yes you need a lot of pads as one only covers approx 10sq metres. Did that job today used 10 pads but took me half the time of squeegee /emoticons/wink.png

Depends how much liquid you use, when I first got mine I went a little mad on my windows at home, ended up using 3pads on one small bit of glass! Lol

Don't use hardly any water mate. A very fine misting normally does the trick.

[mark m]

thanks boys so vikan is the best ?

 

[BostonMike]

I'd use a zero degree squeegee on a pole and reach over the desks. Some guys use a wagtail squeegee. Sometimes the old way is the best way. I use to be a carpet cleaner/sales rep for a really big carpet cleaning company and we NEVER moved desks, moving desks can be very risky and time consuming. Can you spell liability?

Reach over with a pole it's quick and slick. A short step stool could come in handy because it will change your angle of reach, being two feet taller. On some windows it may help. Just my two cents.

This video shows how it's done.

I'm one of them :huh:.........a Wagtail user is what I mean :lol: .

You only need a damp pad on the Whirlwind or Swoop etc....'job done'.
