What is The Holy Grail of WFP Window Cleaning?

Simply put hydrophylic window glass. There are three ways this can be done. First the glass can be “deep cleaned” to remove all hydrocarbon pollution that makes glass hydrophobic. Second the windows can be treated with a reactive hydrophylic sealant (not a hydrophobic sealant). Third the rinse water can be injected with a superwetting surfactant that dramatically reduces the surface tension of the water causing it to spread out evenly. When all three of these solutions are implemented we will have attained the Holy Grail of WFP window cleaning. This is one of the themes of the Glass Smart Insider I have just now begun publishing. It is published electronically every Sunday. Next week will focus on the chemistry of hydrophylic sealants. And yes there will be sources for you to go to for samples of products. It is true that we can make more money if we can clean windows faster. You don’t do that working on hydrophobic glass!

Just now had a fascinating chat with a company that specializes in hydrophylic nanocoats for substrates including glass. This is an entirely new technology. It is all out there! Really really exciting! And the Glass Smart Insider will bring it to you. But you will need to ask and subscribe.
