Pump up type sprayer

The Garage Vehicle Setups

Long thread here…brace yourselves.

I have stopped using a BOAB and hence…stopped getting little bruises on my legs.

I either toss the mop into the bucket or just carry it.

I used to carry the mop in a BOAB and a squirt bottle to re-apply water. My belt looked like bat Mans belt…only without the cool 'Bat" and no hot chicks nearby.

I know Larry and others use the spray system by Under…I have been giving though to 1 or 2 gallon pump sprayer to apply the water/soap for insides.

All of my clients are on a route so it is not often I have to deal with real dirty windows…just greasy little finger prints.

Anyone else every try or use a garden type sprayer?

I’ve used one as a wfp with paintbrush for in between bars or railings.

I don’t see the relevance of this quote, to a system that actually works.

Many experienced wfp’ers have used this the way I have described to wfp between bars. Infact there are some wfp’ers that use a pressure system as a means of getting the water on to the window. I believe a manufacturer is now making systems using the pressure method copied from existing users of this method.

So how would you wfp between 1.5" bars?
I’m not asking if you have a job like that - I’m asking how would you do it with the current tools available on the market.

I see the humor…and the practicality…of the method described.

meanwhile…you guys have hijacked my thread. :slight_smile:

Uhhhh… I have never used a WFP in my life, but I can imagine exactly what Karl is talking about, and don’t see how your comment s even close to relating.

Deeper clean… I’ve never gotten bruises or even anything close to it from my boab, what kind are you using?

sometimes I spary of the exterior of the window with a hose, is this what you mean? or are you talking about interior cleaning as well?

why is there a thumbs down icon on my post? I didn’t put that there on purpose

Not sure of the type of BOAB I use…blue, one place for squeegee.

Interiors only.

I carry a bucket now (square) and a mop…

I thought maybe I’d try just using a pump type sprayer and ‘mist’ the windows then squeegee.

Scrub with a sponge any finger prints etc.

Just curious if anyone else tried this.

They aren’t 1.5 inch bars.
In some cases on my ‘barred’ jobs, I can’t even get a squeegee through to the window.

Anyone else every try or use a garden type sprayer?

Its wasonly me answering to your thread originally & I do believe its related & you have been answering what I’ve written. Its not hijacked if you are the only one replying or its related to the original question.

Thank you.

I have used only the hose from my DI tank (without the Water Fed Pole & brush) to spray DI water and rinse behind bars over a glass door pane. I did this after scrubbing the glass with a Doodle Bug (on a short pole) & white pad because it was not possible to use a regular scrubber and squeegee or the water fed pole brush.

Your idea of using a paint brush is great!!! I wish I would’ve thought of that instead of using the Doodle Bug w/white pad. The Doodle Bug would not reach all of the glass behind the bars but I believe a good stiff paint brush would’ve done the trick just fine.

Of course you were using a pump up sprayer instead of a DI water hose. That’s fine if you don’t have a DI tank and hose.

This method does not strike me as being funny…but more as a very neat trick of the trade. I’m glad you mentioned it!

Those of us with WFP setup can use a paint brush to scrub behind the bars as we squirt DI water (straight from the hose) over the glass.

Those without WFP and DI setup can use a pump up sprayer and spray distilled water to rinse the glass after scrubbing with a paint brush. This is the method I’m assuming karlosdaze was using.

I’ll try the paint brush the next time I run into glass behind bars or wrought iron.
