HOW TO WATER FED POLE - Technique For First Time Cleaning Dirty Windows

In this How To WFP episode, I share some of the techniques and tools, I like to use in first time cleaning windows. You could take some of these tips to use on all types of windows. Such as wood frame, UPVC, etc. In this video I'm working on an aluminum powder coated frame.
The tools I prefer to use for first time cleans, are any WFP brush that has natural boars hair, like those made by tuckerusa.com
I also recommend walnut scrub pads, 0000 wire wool, glass razor scrapers and professional cleaning chemicals. The key to a great result with first time window cleaning, is a really good scrub and an even better rinse. If in doubt rinse and rinse again! Hope you find the video helpful!
Many thanks for watching.

*Awesome content. Love the watering down the frames/edges to reduce contamination and I assume it would help in reducing stains. I window tinted for years and would always wet down the work area walls and floors to suck the dust out of the air. Thanks for sharing.

Really appreciate your comment on my video, and also your input on understanding what it takes to keep contamination to a minimum! It’s more effort, but the results are always great and last a whole lot longer! All the best bro 😎

Great vid and logic. Did you use the ubik neat or diluted?

[@The4x4WindowCleaner]

Appreciate your comment! The majority of the time, I spray ubik neat on to brush and create the suds with pure water. Recommend Viro-Sol for even tougher cleans, but takes more rinsing. Thanks

I just recently purchased and received my WFP & DI System. How do you go about cleaning windows that has hard water stains? It seems to me that the bristles on the WFP are too soft to do any kind of scrubbing.

[@The4x4WindowCleaner]

Appreciate your comment. That’s a good question bro, hard water is a tough one for WFP to deal with on its own. What works for me, is to use 0000 steel wool and a cleaning product called ZEP Calcium Lime and Rust Remover. You’ll probably get another brand in US that’ll do just the same thing. Put the product into a spray bottle neat, spray direct onto hard water stains, let it sit for a minute, and scrub with the steel wool. You may have to hit it a couple of times, if it’s real bad. Then finish clean with WFP. Hope this helps!

@The4x4WindowCleaner ZEP C L R works great. I know it is sold @ home depot here in the US. ✌🏻

If I had spent that long per window I would have gone bankrupt! I only wash using the traditional method with a squeegee, and can wash 450 windows per hour with a pole.

[@The4x4WindowCleaner]

Wow dude, 450 windows an hour, what steroids are you on? Because I could be a very rich man!

[@jrgenaksnes2676]

@@The4x4WindowCleaner No steroids, only self-developed techniques after 32 years of window washing. If the window manufacturers had cooperated with me, I could wash 600 windows per hour.
