what is the best pole for ground floor windows? my daughter is starting to help out a bit she is finding it difficult to manage cleaning upstairs windows using an slx 18 but can manage the ground floor fine, would it be better to get a pole more suitable for ground floor only or maybe get an extreem 18 and then let her progress to doing some upstairs windows as she gets more confident and able to control the pole at height?

The best pole for the ground floor windows - a short one.

best to take a clx10, a clx4 can be too short sometimes, even on ground floor.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a Gardiners pole for ground floor work and other makes are actually available and what's more, they do the same job.

Almost and short but light pole will do with the right adapter. An old unger pole etc.

I was talking to another window cleaner a short while back and he bought an Aldi brush, took the brush head off and screwed the wfp brush head onto that. Total cost - 99p.

even better   nice one ross

[alank]

im not that tight i think i can stretch to a decent pole even for ground floor work.

[rosskesava]

It's not a question of being tight.

It's about not just buying this or that because it's made by a, b, or c and to my way of thinking, I use what does the job the way I want to do it and to the extent I need and sometimes I buy the because of the name and sometimes I don't.

I don't over spend and waste money and neither do I always go for cheap just for the sake of it and I always look to maximise profit.

fair enough but i think you can at least spend a bit more for your daughter and have a decent pole rather than a broom from Aldi!

exactly, i think you daughter deserve a decent pole, not a broom from aldi!
