Pure water vs the traditional method: which is better?

15 June 2026 Deluxe Admin

There are two main ways to clean windows professionally, and both have their place. We use whichever gives the best result for your property — here's the difference.

The traditional method

Soap, water and a squeegee, applied by hand. It's brilliant for ground-floor windows and for getting right into the corners, and many people love the classic finish. The limitation is reach: anything high up needs ladders, which isn't ideal around conservatories, extensions or three-storey homes.

Pure water (reach & wash)

Pure water cleaning passes ordinary tap water through filters and resin to strip out every mineral and impurity. That ultra-pure water is fed up soft-bristled telescopic poles, agitates the dirt, and rinses it away. Because there's nothing left in the water, the glass dries naturally with no spots or streaks.

  • Reaches upper-storey windows safely from the ground — no ladders against your home
  • Cleans the full frame, sills and UPVC, not just the glass
  • Leaves a spotless, streak-free finish as it dries

So which is better?

Neither — they're complementary. We pick the right tool for each window so you get a flawless result everywhere, from the front bay to the top-floor landing window over the stairs.

Whatever the method, every clean includes the frames and sills as standard — we treat the whole window, not just the pane.
