What Is Reach and Wash Window Cleaning and When Is It Useful?

Keeping every window and other glass surfaces clean can become difficult when some are too high, awkwardly positioned or blocked by parts of your property. Upper-floor windows, glazing above conservatories and windows surrounded by walls or landscaping can all make routine cleaning more challenging.

A practical option for dealing with these hard-to-access areas is reach and wash window cleaning. Using high-reach poles and purified water, professional cleaners can reach many windows from ground level, making it easier and safer to clean areas that usually require ladders in order to get to them.

So, when is reach and wash most useful, and could it be suitable for your property?

What Is Reach and Wash Window Cleaning?

Reach and wash uses an extendable pole fitted with a brush and water system. The brush loosens dirt and grime from the surface, while the purified water rinses it away. As the water dries, it can leave the glass clean without traditional hand wiping.

The poles can be extended to different heights, making the system suitable for a range of properties. And it's not just about height. A water-fed pole can also be useful for windows that are difficult to access because of conservatories, extensions, walls, landscaping or other obstacles.

When Is Water-Fed Pole Window Cleaning Useful?

The right cleaning method will depend on the property and the position of its windows, but reach and wash can be particularly useful for:

• Commercial buildings: Offices, shops and other businesses often have large areas of glazing that need regular cleaning.

• Residential blocks: Upper-floor windows and communal glazing can be difficult to access using conventional methods.

• Large properties: Larger homes and buildings may have high-level windows that need a more practical way of being cleaned.

• Hard-to-reach windows: Windows above conservatories, extensions or other obstacles can often be reached using a suitable water-fed pole.

It can even be useful for lower buildings where the windows aren't particularly high but are awkward to reach because of the surrounding layout.

What Are the Benefits of Water-Fed Pole Cleaning?

One of the main benefits of water-fed pole window cleaning is that many windows can be cleaned while the cleaner remains at ground level. This makes it a practical option for properties with high or awkwardly positioned glass.

It can also make ongoing maintenance simpler. Hard-to-reach windows can often be included as part of the property's regular cleaning schedule rather than being treated as a separate job.

That said, not every window is suitable for a water-fed pole. The cleaner needs to be able to position the pole properly and make good contact with the glass. Obstructions, overhangs or particularly awkward window positions can sometimes make access difficult.
