Not too old to YOLO

Teenagers love having their own jargon to distinguish them from the fuddy duddies.  If you’ve got one (a teenager, not a fuddy duddy) you may be familiar with the phrase YOLO – You Only Live Once.  Teenagers use it to signal that they are about to do something unbelievably stupid - but,  hey, YOLO!

Sadly, I said goodbye to my teenage years some time back, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t empathise with YOLO.  But the implications of YOLO change with age.  Rather than “Hey, look how imbecilic I am!” it’s more likely to resonate with a need for quality of life, while we still have it coursing through us.  For example: YOLO – so mend bridges before it’s too late.  YOLO – so get cracking on your bucket list.  YOLO – so don’t put up with a job you hate. 

I’ve always loved providing a great service cleaning windows across Kent and Sussex.  But I hate climbing ladders.  Every time I had to climb one, I was quaking inside.  So in true YOLO spirit, I stopped climbing them. 

Waterfed Pole Window Cleaning gave me my YOLO breakthrough.  I can now clean windows up to six storeys high while keeping my feet firmly on terra firma.  What’s more, the windows are cleaner and stay cleaner for longer than they ever did when I was hauling buckets up and down ladders.

YOLO – so make sure you enjoy what you do.  I do! 

Giving you back your privacy

The twenty-first century isn’t a very private place. 

Every time you buy something, your bank builds a sharper profile of you, your family, your likes and dislikes.  Cookies follow your every click on the internet to customise your cyber experience (or, more cynically, to optimise which ads you are bombarded with).  And you only have to slip over to discover you are the latest YouTube sensation.  

Wouldn’t it be nice to get back some good old-fashioned privacy?  We think so.  At Waterfed Pole Window Cleaning, we are committed to rekindling that twentieth-century concept of privacy.  And we are among a handful of window cleaners spearheading the campaign.

Unlike traditional window cleaners, who peer in through your upper windows as they perch on their ladders, we keep our feet firmly on the ground, using our very, very long waterfed poles to clean windows up to six storeys high.  With Waterfed Pole Window Cleaning, what goes on in your upper storeys, is your business.

So, we can’t help you if you sign Bohemian Rhapsody at top volume in your car.  When you pull up at the traffic lights, we can do nothing if the teenager standing at the crossing decides your rendition needs sharing with the world.   But we can promise that if we’re round cleaning your windows, you can step out of your shower and we’ll be none the wiser!
