Internal stairwells 15 ft clean how?
« on: November 07, 2013, 05:34:45 pm »
Hey guys.
Got a contract which I have been cleaning just over a year, and now they have asked us to clean the inside of the stairwells 3 monthly which are up to 15 ft high. Not allowed to take ladders inside which I would prefer.
Can anyone mention best/quickest method they use. Wagtail? Cheap pole, if so which pole.  The microfibre Velcro system?  Don't really want to invest in the dragonfly system as I don't think I would get the money back that quickly.
Much appreciation of your thoughts. Anyone with actual experience would help!
Cheers all

I WOULD GO WAGTAIL, I DO 18FT+ INTERNAL COMMERCIAL EVERY MONTH WITH IT. NOT SURE WHAT MAKE THE TRAD POLE IS BUT THEY ARE NOT THAT EXPENSIVE.

If u have a wfp or just a trad pole, harris etc it's easy to fit  a Wagtail. once u get the hang of it,  this is a good method
YouTube has some good videos showing technique.
Unger fixi clamps with a scrim and unger padholders are good too.

we use the wagtail (flipper) cheap pole, get the 5 metre Harris pole off amazon, about £15, then buy the unger connector off wintecs, about a fiver, drill and screw it onto Harris pole, as above we then bought the unger pad holder and a lot if there microfibre pads, more or less the same as the easy shine set up

Harris pole and wagtail.  Easy peasy. If any windows are a little streaky or slightly smeary then nobody is ever gonna get close enough to see it.  However the wagtail and harris pole does do a very good job.
