Hydrophobic Window Cleaning For Safety And Environment

Hydrophobic window cleaning was developed to make the industry safer and more environmentally friendly. The idea that the traditional ladder and scaffolding could be replaced by a pole that shoots just water seemed a bit preposterous. In the end it was proven to be a rather ingenious idea.

The increased safety of this window cleaning method really can’t be argued. What is equally as impressive is that one would be hard pressed to claim that this system didn’t clean better as well. For a spot free clean the hydrophobic window cleaning method is definitely the way to go.

Purified water has no trace elements. However, the water is not in a natural state and it would like to return to a natural state. Just like any natural element that has been altered, purified water will automatically try to adjust to its surroundings and find ways to return the natural state. It does this by acting very much like a solvent agent.

When the purified water hits the glass surface the dirt molecules are absorbed by the water, as this is the effort to return its more natural state. The water molecules bond to the dirt molecules and thereby remove the dirt from the glass surface. The final rinse washes away the dirt that is now bonded to the water and because you are still using purified water it rinses clean and dries without leaving any trace material behind. Thus, there are not spots on the glass.

This method is generally applied via a long pole that shoots the purified water. These poles are designed to extend several stories, with some reaching as high as seven stories up. Of course, high rise buildings still require at least some traditional cleaning methods in order for the windows to be accessible.

Because of the molecular structure of water and its reaction to dirt it can easily be said that hydrophobic window cleaning is at least just as effective, if not more effective, than using soap, water, and a squeegee while perched up on an elevated surface. In fact, with the elimination of the need for the squeegee it is becoming apparent that the hydrophobic method leaves behind considerably less streaking. The clean surface remains clean and the pure water rinse leaves nothing behind.

The basic delivery system for the hydrophobic window cleaning method is through a long reach tube that can shoot water. The hydrophobic solution is added to the water supply and bonds with the glass, also known as Hydrostorm this barrier will keep glass clean for up to four times as long, saving huge ammounts of money for the client. Since all you’re using is water, there is nothing left behind other than clean windows and a barrier to protect them from dirt.
