The Evolution of Window Cleaning

Gone are the days when window cleaning meant a bucket, soapy water, and a squeegee. While these traditional methods have served us well for decades, modern technology has revolutionised the industry with pure water cleaning systems that deliver superior results.

At We Wash Exteriors, we exclusively use professional-grade pure water technology for all our window cleaning services. Here's why this approach consistently delivers better results for our customers across the West Midlands.

What Exactly Is Pure Water Window Cleaning?

Pure water window cleaning uses water that has been filtered through a multi-stage purification process, removing all minerals, impurities, and contaminants. This process typically involves:

  1. Sediment filtration - removing larger particles
  2. Carbon filtration - removing chlorine and organic compounds
  3. Reverse osmosis - eliminating most dissolved solids
  4. Deionisation - removing the final mineral traces

The result is 100% pure water with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) reading of zero. This ultra-pure water becomes a powerful cleaning agent without requiring any additional detergents or chemicals.

Six Reasons Pure Water Cleaning Delivers Superior Results

1. Streak-Free, Spotless Finishes

The most visible benefit of pure water cleaning is the spotless finish. Traditional methods often leave streaks or spots from:

  • Mineral deposits in tap water
  • Soap residue that attracts dust
  • Squeegee blade imperfections

Pure water naturally dries without leaving any residue, as there are simply no dissolved solids to remain behind. The result? Perfectly clear glass without a single streak.

2. Frames and Sills Get Cleaned Too

Traditional window cleaning often focuses primarily on the glass, with frames and sills receiving less attention. With pure water systems, we thoroughly clean:

  • Window glass
  • Frames and sills
  • Surrounding trim
  • Door panels

The powerful yet gentle flow of pure water reaches into corners and crevices that are difficult to access with traditional methods, providing a more comprehensive clean.

3. Longer-Lasting Results

Windows cleaned with pure water typically stay cleaner for up to 3-4 times longer than those cleaned with traditional methods. Why? Because:

  • No soap residue is left behind to attract dust
  • No mineral deposits remain to attract dirt
  • The absence of cleaning chemicals means no sticky residue

This extended cleanliness not only keeps your home looking better but also reduces the frequency of required cleanings, saving you money in the long term.

4. Reach and Safety Benefits

Pure water systems utilise lightweight carbon fibre poles that can reach windows up to 60 feet high without ladders. This provides several advantages:

  • Eliminates the safety risks associated with ladder work
  • Allows access to difficult-to-reach windows
  • Prevents damage to plants, flowerbeds, and landscaping
  • Enables cleaning of windows above conservatories or extensions

5. Environmentally Friendly Approach

Today's environmentally conscious homeowners appreciate that pure water cleaning is significantly greener than traditional methods:

  • No detergents or chemicals entering the water system
  • Reduced water usage compared to traditional methods
  • No fuel consumption from transport of ladders and equipment
  • Less disruption to garden plants and wildlife

6. More Thorough Cleaning Process

The technique used with pure water systems involves a more thorough cleaning process:

  1. Agitation phase - loosening dirt and debris
  2. Washing phase - thorough rinsing of all surfaces
  3. Final rinse - ensuring all dirt is removed
  4. Natural drying - leaving windows spotless

The methodical approach ensures that all dirt is removed, not just pushed around or partially cleaned as can happen with squeegee methods.

What About Rain After Cleaning?

A common concern we hear is: "What happens if it rains shortly after my windows are cleaned?"

With traditional window cleaning methods, rain can indeed be a problem, mixing with soap residue and creating spots. However, with pure water cleaning:

  • Rain is essentially the same as the pure water used to clean (just less pure)
  • Windows typically remain cleaner even after rainfall
  • The absence of soap means rain doesn't activate any residue

This makes pure water cleaning particularly suitable for the unpredictable British weather!

Is Pure Water Cleaning Right for Every Property?

While pure water technology is superior for most situations, there are considerations:

  • Very old, single-pane windows with deteriorating putty may require traditional methods
  • Interior windows are still best cleaned with traditional approaches
  • Properties with extremely hard-to-remove stains may need combined approaches

During our initial assessment, we evaluate your specific property needs and recommend the most appropriate cleaning method.

The Environmental Aspect

Beyond the cleaning benefits, many of our customers choose pure water cleaning for environmental reasons:

  • Chemical-free cleaning - no detergents entering soil or water systems
  • Reduced water usage - our systems are efficient and use less water
  • Fewer cleaning cycles - longer-lasting results mean less frequent cleaning
  • Safer for garden plants - no chemical runoff damaging your landscaping
