For anyone who has ever had to climb a ladder with a bucket, paper towels, and cleaner the hydrophobic window cleaning method is obviously a smart alternative. Balancing on a ladder while you clean the outside of the window, often reaching precariously, can end tragically for all involved. However, with this method, all you do is reach with a tool and spray water.
Hydrophobic window cleaning requires the use of purified water. The water has to be purified in order for the system to work. Water tends to carry molecules of trace elements, which is why our windows can have spots on them after the water has dried. When water evaporates it leaves behind all of those trace minerals, creating spots that make the glass look dirty.
Purified water has no trace elements. However, the water is not in a natural state and it would like to return to a natural state. Just like any natural element that has been altered, purified water will automatically try to adjust to its surroundings and find ways to return the natural state. It does this by acting very much like a solvent agent.
When the purified water hits the glass surface the dirt molecules are absorbed by the water, as this is the effort to return its more natural state. The water molecules bond to the dirt molecules and thereby remove the dirt from the glass surface. The final rinse washes away the dirt that is now bonded to the water and because you are still using purified water it rinses clean and dries without leaving any trace material behind. Thus, there are not spots on the glass.
Purified water attracts and absorbs dirt very much like a solvent. It is not comfortable being pure and it wants to return to its normal state of being laden with trace elements. Since it can’t have these elements it will adhere and bond to the dirt molecules instead. This means that the water is literally lifting the dirt away, becoming one with it.
The dangers of ladders, scaffolding, and chemical issues prompted the invention of such a system. Created from nothing more than mere water, several window cleaning issues were resolved well. There is no longer a need for fearful cleaning methods when it comes to most windows.
The basic delivery system for the hydrophobic window cleaning method is through a long reach tube that can shoot water. The hydrophobic solution is added to the water supply and bonds with the glass, also known as Hydrostorm this barrier will keep glass clean for up to four times as long, saving huge ammounts of money for the client. Since all you’re using is water, there is nothing left behind other than clean windows and a barrier to protect them from dirt.
