Why All London Window Washers Should Salvage Rain Water And Use It To Wash Windows

By Nathan William Holding

There are a lot of windows in a big city like London, and they all need to be cleaned. In fact cleaning windows in London is a great way to make a living or even just make extra money. But why use water from the city supply when rainwater can be recycled for this purpose by being collected in a water butt which is connected to the gutter system?

Window cleaning in a large city such as this offers a valuable employment opportunity for many people, but it also creates a sustainability problem because of the large amounts of water used. Why use city water, save money and save water by collecting rainwater in rain butts which are connected to gutter systems? Rain water is chemical free as well as free, and most of it is lost back into the sea and sewer systems anyway.

If a window cleaner is using the modern water fed reach and wash method rain water is the best option. Rain water is virtually pure, as opposed to tap water it contains only a fraction of the impurities you will find in tap water. The use of rain water has a massive advantage to a window cleaning company as the purification process is much easier and any membranes or filters should last at least 500% longer.

The only reason why every window cleaner does not do this is because they don't think it is important. Just think, rain water has a great deal of potential cleaning uses, and using it keeps the city water supplies more affordable and sustainable. Why would anyone want to pay for something they can get free?

It is both simple and cheap to collect and store rainwater and a typical half inch rainfall can fill a number of 50 to 80 gallon rain butts. If you thing that the roof of a house measuring 2 000 square foot, can collect approximately 1 000 gallon of water, think how many 50 gallon rain buts can be filled.

Think even harder, if you are paying for your own water, for whatever reason, even if you aren't a London window cleaner. How much money can you save on your water bill this way? Even if you only use it for watering the garden, cleaning your car and watering indoor plants!!

Window leaning is not an easy job, it is hard work, so the work ethic is there, why be lazy about water supplies? Get some more very valuable extra cash down on your bottom line by using a rain butt, the entire roof of your home is a giant water funnel, all you have to do is channel it for collection. - 32166
