    Great demo! What is the best way to detail underneath the window with the pole when you can't reach the area by hand?

    • @TradMan
      @TradMan  8 месяцев назад +1

      The sill? You can use something like the maykker handy sleeve with a cloth over it as the tool to wipe the sill and you will need an angle adaptor on your pole so you can angle the tool forward.

    Very much obliged to you for sharing your knowledge. I am looking at waterfed poles to clean my first floor windows above a conservatory. I have a window cleaner - he just appeared one day, not long after I moved in - but he only cleans from a ladder and does not clean the windows he cannot access. I can reach them from inside, but it does involve a lot of furniture moving and vertical blind action. Anyway, I'm glad I spotted your channel. I'll have a wee shifty to see your pole recommendations.

      It's not good thou as you can easily wet the cleaned window with "just absorbed wetness" from the window seal or the wall etc... Using the pole for domestic for edges i do not recommend.

    Good info although what you did not explain is if you are using a long pole working from the ground, how do you detail? Obviously, it won't be with your finger in a microfibre cloth. Sticking the cloth on the pole will be difficult. Also, none of the fanning techniques will be possible with a long-reach pole if using a fixed squeegee. The more tricky skill would be required with a swivel squeegee. I point all this out because you started the video stating this is for using a pole and the only reason you are using a short pole here is for demonstration purposes. You explain everything else well, so maybe another video to explain the points I mentioned would be good.
