What Type of Window Cleaning Is Best – Traditional or Pure Water?

Traditional Window Cleaning

This is the classic method most people are familiar with. Using a squeegee, applicator, and professional cleaning solution, your window cleaner cleans and wipes away dirt and grime by hand.

Traditional window cleaning is ideal for:

. Interior windows and conservatories

. Shopfronts and low-level glass

. Smaller residential properties

. Situations where a close-up, hands-on finish is preferred

Because it’s done by hand, this method allows for precision detailing — perfect for inside work or delicate glass.

 However, it’s slower and less practical for large or high windows, which often require ladders and sometimes, other types of access equipment.

Pure Water Window Cleaning

This modern technique uses carbon fibre poles and purified water, allowing windows to be cleaned safely from the ground.

Pure water window cleaning is ideal for:

Exterior windows on homes and commercial units

High or hard-to-reach glass

Frames, sills, and uPVC surfaces

Key benefits:



✅ Safer: all work done from ground level — no ladders needed

✅ Cleaner: leaves no streaks or residue

✅ Eco-friendly: no soaps or chemicals

✅ Efficient: cleans glass, frames, and sills in one go

How It Works

Our van-mounted system filters tap water through an array of filters and resin tanks, removing all minerals and impurities.

This produces 100% pure water, which naturally absorbs dirt and rinses away cleanly. When it dries, there’s nothing left behind — just crystal-clear, streak-free glass.

It’s the safest and most efficient way to clean windows. Our window cleaning service across Leicestershire and Warwickshire tries to utilise this method for most of the work that we complete, although it sometimes isn’t suited on certain jobs. 

Which Window Cleaning Method Is Best for You?

Exterior windows: Pure water system

Interior glass: Traditional hand cleaning
