Window Cleaning After Softwashing?

[Herm]

Hi, after softwashing a house or doing the gutters and fascia boards I like the clean off the windows afterwards as they are always streaky. I don't hold or carry pure water and without going onto long ladders to clean them, does anyone have some advice? I've been trying to find a squeegee to go onto the end of the wfp without any luck? Also any little hacks that are best to use to clean the windows, or is some water and window cleaner ok? I've never got into window cleaning and don't really want to as the hassle of pure water puts me off, so it's just something to make the house look nice on completion.

Thanks Tom

Depending what your tap water TDS is you might be able to get away with cleaning With that your in Dorset aren’t you?. Guessing it’s quite low , or another option would be a resin vessel and connect to customers tap and just use di

Most pole manufacturers do fittings to enable squeegees and applicators to go on a wfp. A slightly cheaper method might be a trad pole like this : https://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/pole-assembly-for-use-with-traditional-tools.html

Thanks, as I don't charge for this I was hoping to use something inexpensive. Though that's handy to know for the future, thanks mate.

I will check the TDS but I'm sure from last time checking it wasn't to low, maybe time to look at something like a resin setup I could then add some windows onto my round?

If you aren’t a window cleaner and just pressure washing / softwashing a house I don’t think the customer would be expecting 100% results on the glass I think you could get away with scrubbing and rinsing them with tap water when you do the walls and gutters etc

It depends what part of dorset you live in. East Dorset TDS is sky high.

Ah ok I assumed it would be low like Cornwall and Devon

I would be looking at getting a 300l tank fitted. Every time I do a SFG I need to clean the windows with hot pure water due to streaks.

Moerman excelerator on a pole and wipe the sills with a cloth on the pole afterwards
Cheap and easy

Yeah I think you're right Pjj. It's just a little extra touch I like to do. Think I'll get an adapter for the pole and squeegee, give them a rinse off and use the squeegee afterwards.
