Lower impact
The other kind of clean.
“A cleaner way to clean” means two things, and this is the second one. None of it is a badge on the leaflet — it’s how the round actually runs, and each piece was a choice.
Electric vehicle
Zero tailpipe emissions on your street.
A window cleaner’s vehicle spends its day stopping and starting outside people’s houses — exactly the kind of driving that puts the most exhaust into the air at the height of a pushchair. Mine is electric. There is nothing coming out of the back of it on your street, and it’s quieter too.
It also means no engine idling outside your window while I work, which is the bit most people notice first.
Renewable energy
Charged at home, from the roof.
The vehicle and all my gear — the pumps, the batteries, the filters — charge at home overnight. Most of that electricity comes from my own solar panels; what the panels don’t cover comes from a renewable tariff.
So the power that cleans your windows was, more often than not, made on a roof a few miles away.
All of it
Four choices, every visit.
-
Pure water
Filtered until nothing but water is left. No detergent, no chemicals, nothing into your drains or your borders — what runs off your windows is water, and only water.
-
Electric vehicle
Zero tailpipe emissions on your street, and quieter too.
-
Renewable energy
My gear runs on solar power, topped up with renewable grid energy when needed.
-
Low waste
Reusable brushes and cloths, refillable water, receipts by email rather than paper. Barely anything to throw away at the end of a day.
The round itself
Short miles, by design.
The least glamorous part is the one that matters most. A round that is scattered across the map spends its day driving; a round grown street by street spends it cleaning. That is why I build the round the way I do, and why neighbours joining together makes it better for everyone already on it.
It’s also why there is a boundary — from Gloucester down to Thornbury and Yate, east to Tetbury, and across the Severn into the Forest of Dean, Chepstow and Caldicot — and why I say no beyond it rather than adding the miles.
It’s how I’d want my own street cleaned, so it’s how I clean yours.
