Deionized Water & Water-Fed Poles

The Science Behind Deionized Water

Deionized water is also known as demineralized water. It is water that has its mineral ions removed (chlorine, fluoride, haloacetic acids (HAAs) and other impurities) through a filter and reverse osmosis process. The science behind deionized water for window cleaning lies in its unique properties and the manor it interacts with glass surfaces.

1. Minimizing Mineral Deposits: Tap water contains minerals that will leave behind deposits when it evaporates on glass surfaces. These deposits, commonly known as water spots or streaks, can be unsightly and difficult to remove. Deionized water, with its reduced mineral content, significantly reduces the likelihood of these deposits forming, resulting in cleaner and clearer windows.
2. Improved Cleaning Power: Deionized water is a highly effective cleaning agent due to its high purity. It acts as a solvent and can effectively dissolve and remove dirt, grime, pollutants, and organic compounds. Since it lacks minerals, it doesn't leave behind any residue after cleaning, resulting in streak-free and spotless windows.
3. Enhanced Wetting Ability: Deionized water has a very low surface tension compared to tap water. This property allows it to spread more evenly and penetrate the nooks and crannies of window surfaces, reaching areas that might otherwise be difficult to clean. It enables better coverage and effectively helps in removing dirt particles from the glass.
4. Electrostatic Cleaning: Another benefit of using deionized water for window cleaning is its ability to neutralize static charges on the glass surface. Static charges can attract dust and particles, making windows appear dirty, even after cleaning. Deionized water, being electrically neutral, reduces the buildup of static charges, resulting in cleaner windows that stay cleaner for a longer time.

Deionized water is highly effective for cleaning all glass surfaces. Combined with our water-fed poles and high-quality brushes, Glass Act Window Cleaning guarantees a superior spotless finish on all your glass surfaces.

Our Water-Fed Pole Systems

Glass Act Window Cleaning uses only cutting-edge, carbon fiber water-fed poles, coupled with our premium cleaning brushes. These allow us to effectively clean buildings as high as four (4) stories in height. We have all the proper equipment and training to ensure we provide the highest quality service in the safest manner possible.

Advantages of using our water-fed pole system over traditional window cleaning methods:

1. Increased Safety: Water-fed pole systems allow our window cleaners to work safely from the ground, eliminating the need for ladders or scaffolding. This reduces the risk of falls or injuries associated with working at heights.
2. Time and Cost Savings: With water-fed pole systems, window cleaning tasks are completed more efficiently. There is no need for time-consuming setup or dismantling of ladders or scaffolding. The system also allows for faster cleaning, as multiple windows can be cleaned from one position without constantly repositioning equipment.
3. Reach and Access: Water-fed poles are extendable, allowing window cleaners to reach higher windows or windows in difficult-to-reach areas. That eliminates the need for special access equipment, making it easier to clean windows in all locations.
4. Environmentally Friendly: Our water-fed pole systems use purified water, free from minerals and impurities. That means strong detergents, soaps or cleaning chemicals are often unnecessary, making it an environmentally friendly cleaning method. Additionally, the purified water dries without leaving streaks or residue on the windows.
5. Consistent Results: Using purified water and our water-fed pole systems ensures a spotless finish. As the water dries naturally, it does not leave behind any residue, watermarks or streaks, resulting in consistently clean, streak-free and sparkling windows.
6. Reduced Disturbance: Traditional window cleaning methods often require cleaners to access the interior of a building, that can be disruptive for occupants. With water-fed pole systems, exterior windows can be cleaned without access entry into the building, minimizing disturbance and preserving privacy.
7. Versatility: Water-fed pole systems are used to clean not only windows, but also other exterior surfaces, such as siding, fascias, and signage. The flexibility of these systems allows for efficient cleaning of various outdoor surfaces using a single tool.

It's important to note that the effectiveness of a water-fed pole system depends on factors such as water quality, the skill of our operators, and the level of soiling on the windows. Overall, the advantages of these systems make it the most effective and economical choice for our customers.
