De-ionized Bucket Water?
« on: May 21, 2005, 04:37:16 am »
Most of my work is in malls, so I can't bring WFP with me.  Would the same principle work though?  Is there a way to make the water deionized in the bucket...simply wash the glass with standard washer and do no squeegie work? 

Probably sounds stupid, but I have never really considered wfp or anything similar.

Hi Mark,
Ni, I'm afraid that wouldn't work, wish it would though!
WFP is a continuous wash & rinse process, were you to put pure water into a spotlessly clean bucket and had your applicator so uncontaminated that you could leave it in the bucket of pure water and still have the reading for the water reading 0.000 on a TDS meter, by the time you had washed a single pane of glass the water would become contaminated :-\ And you would still be unable to rinse the glass, any dirt, dust or greasy finger prints would just be spread all over the glass, so without rinsing with pure water you would have to squeegee it off anyway!!

Regards,

I was wondering about that also.

There goes another one of my brainwaves into the dustbin of history.  :-[

i used to clean a pub, and it had a BIG mirror

went allaround the place, must have started at 10 ft high of the ground and been 10 ft high itself (if you get what i mean)

i had to pole it all, used to use pure water with a small dash of GG in it, mop it on, sqeegee it off, any marks would normally dry clear

the mirror was 30 years old aswell, so wasnt in the best of nick and had etched bits which were a right pain

some c****y guy took over and now doesnt haev them done by any1
