Introduction.Window cleaning poles.Also commonly known as water fed poles are fast becoming the industry standard in window cleaning.The old traditional method of using a bucket and squeegee etc is being less used as window cleaners find the overall safety and flexibility window cleaning poles give you.Window cleaning used to be an art form, basic in its execution, though, many tried and failed.Most falls to window cleaners involve the use of portable ladders large and small that are basically mounted on top of vehicle.In recent years figures for accidents reported to HSE and local authorities show that between two and seven window cleaners have been killed each year in Great Britain and about 20-30 suffer major injuries as a result of falls involving ladders.As you can expect, this is a relatively small problem as accidents go.Not if you're a window cleaner though.A great deal window cleaners suffer less serious injuries that result in several days off work.The man in the street would probably relish a few days off here and there, but not if you're a window cleaner who is self employed and doesn't receive any sick pay.What's The Solution? .The window cleaning pole/water fed pole.What is a window cleaning pole/water fed pole?A window cleaning pole/water fed pole is basically an extended carbon fibre (or other materials) pole that is made in sections that extend.You can generally get them in various sizes from 10ft to 45ft and higher, though it is considered a little pointless going higher as they are less effective.The process of and methodology behind the pole is where pure water is pumped through a hose reel, up the telescopic window cleaning pole/water fed pole and passes through jets.These jets are located in the brush that is found at the top of the window cleaning pole.These jets spray a light stream onto the surface of the glass and the operator just agitates glass loosening the dirt.With simple upwards and sideways movements the glass is clean in a matter of seconds.Any dirt or dust particles held within the glass are simply flushed away by the constant stream of water from the jets.Can you use normal tap water to wash a window?The simple answer is yes.Well, yes and no actually.You can get your window clean using normal tap water, but the water has calcium particles and lots of impurities that would be left on the glass once the water dries.You would have that milky white effect where you'd be able to write your name.Not what I would call a clean window.Pure Water You Say?By pure water, I mean of distilled water or de-mineralised water.This water doesn't exist naturally.It has to be made by using a process of de-ionised resin vessels, pre filters, filters and water softeners.It's quite a simple process and pure water can be made either in a van, office or even your home.My pure water system is nicely packaged in my garage at home.When this pure water is applied to the glass by way of the window cleaning pole/water fed pole, there is no mineral content or calcium etc; thus, when it dries on your glass your windows are perfectly clean since the pure water has been able to absorb the dirt.Flexibility.Window cleaners using these poles can now reach those hard to reach places with ease and without any risk.Since they don't need to use ladders anymore, window above conservatories and extensions are a breeze.Windows that are 3 and 4 storeys up can now be cleaned with ease.These poles also allow you to clean window frames and window sills at the same time which gives the client an extra service and allows the window cleaner to obtain more work!How Much Should You Pay?The prices on these window cleaning poles is coming down dramatically as I write.There are a few companies you can check out below..Pure Freedom - http.//www.Purefreedom.Co.Uk (Who I Use).Window-Tools - http.//www.Window-tools.Com.Streampole - http.//www.Streampole.Co.Uk.To name a few.There are many more, just simply log onto Google and type in "window cleaning pole/water fed pole" into the search box and see what you find.To summarise.The window cleaning pole/water fed pole is here to stay.With safety issues in mind and the general flexibility they give you.Window cleaners around the world are throwing the bucket and squeegee away a switching to this new method.
We cover the importance of buying a fire escape ladder in this home safety article - take a look, perhaps you can pick up some useful pointers for preventing accidents and actually save some lives by doing so yourself, if you haven't already!Homeowners are advised by fires safety experts to invest in quality and dependable security measures besides educating family members about hazardous substances and handling of equipment that can trigger off fire accidents in the house, especially the kitchen.However, the importance of a fire escape ladder is hardly ever mentioned in the reams of paper spent in educating people about fire hazards and preventions.We amend this aberration here today (and also save paper being in a virtual environment) by bringing you an alert on the necessity of having a fire escape ladder close at hand in your home should a fire take place so you and your family are prepared to take measures for safety and escape to it.It takes less than a minute for a full-blown fire to completely engulf a house and it needs to be controlled fast and effectively for it to reduce the inevitable possibility of smoke that limits visibility and causes constriction in the lungs.Thus, if life is endangered and the fire cannot be controlled or there are too many people to get to safety, the investment of a fire escape ladder comes handy as an inexpensive and useful tool to get away from the danger a raging fire presents.One can go in for installing a fixed fire escape or choose a sturdy, portable/drop-down version of the fire escape ladders, depending on their budget on assessing personal needs, but even the assembled kinds are good enough in times of emergency.The permanent fixed structures are best suited for a homeowner while those staying on rent can opt for the porta-ladder variant so there is always a residential fire escape ladder on the premises.Among the most popular designs are the chain-rung fire escape ladders that can be used on multi-storied buildings, permanent interior or exterior ladders, collapsible or retractable versions that are all easily available in the market.Most modern apartment blocks will typically accommodate a fire escape for its residents and these vary in height according to that of the building and the number of flats each building has; some permanent structures may have steps as opposed to ladders, but all in all, fire escape ladders are mandatory for very tall buildings and sky-scrapers.Investing in a fire escape ladder is especially important for those living on the top-most floors of very high-rise buildings as they need an escape route more desperately than those closer to the ground that can run out faster even if taking the regular stairway.This is the recommendation for apartment structures; however, the importance of such a safety tool is no less for a home environment and with the easy availability of easy-assembly kits that come with a durable escape ladder of up to 40 feet long, smoke-protection hoods, chemical sticks and a horn to alert rescuers that one is safe!The fire safety department advises persons living in homes over 2 stories high to invest in a safety device such as this as this is money well-spent - and possibly could save precious lives in times to come.

Living in a city with a small yard and no beach in site, this is my savior! Just enough room to float around in and small enough not to take up the little bit of yard I have. The last Intex pool I had wound up on some rocks which weren't noticed while setting it up. The pool did not puncture at all. This is one tough pool yet so easy to set up!

This is an awesome pool! Great for that water therapy if you don't have a lot of room or even if you do. Add the "Intex River Run I" to this pool and you can float and spin with the breeze and changing sun. I just love it. After upgrading the stock filter and pump to the Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System and Filter Pump (2010 Model from CMS) I haven't had to add any chemicals to the pool. the water is very clear and has been all summer. The pump can cycle the 1000 plus gals. very quickly. It feels like a spray jet on the spa. This pool hasn't leaked or given me any problems all summer long and with the "Intex Filter Pump Salt Chlorinator" it's perfect. Don't forget the fantastic Intex River Run I. You'll be in tube heaven!

Hunting can be one of the most relaxing and rewarding hobbies a person can take part in.At the same time, the excitement and thrill of a successful hunt is unparalleled.The sheer number of things one must remember to do to make a hunt a success can be overwhelming and safety is often not the top priority on a hunters list.Tree stand safety is in my opinion, one of the most basic and yet important and overlooked, area of hunter safety.As a physician, I have personally cared for a number of stand related injuries and a good friend of mine who is a spine surgeon has confirmed that hunting season around Western Pennsylvania are some of the busiest months he has every year.Falls are obviously the number one accident when it comes to tree stand injuries.Commercial stands continue to improve as do harness devices to keep hunters safely in their stands.Your first order of business is to choose the right tree.Not only do you want the tree to be located in an area where you will have a chance at taking a deer, but the tree must be able to support your weight.To narrow a tree and it may not support your weight, but to wide of a tree, and connecting harnesses can be difficult.I personally like a ladder stand at this point in my life.Climbing stands are much harder to get up the tree and also much harder to do so safely.They do add the convenience of walking into the field and finding that perfect tree.I prefer to give up that portability and pre-scout my hunting area.I can then safely set up a ladder stand exactly where I want it and still have a good chance at taking a deer.Climbing stands also require much more physical fitness.I personally was hunting last season and learned of a 50-year-old man who had a heart attack and died about a mile or two from me.He used a climber and apparently could not handle the physical exertion.A ladder stand is much easier and certainly safer to get in to.A Treestand Manufacturers Association approved restraint system is also vital.Once in the stand and before doing anything at all, you should attach your restraint system to your harness system and the tree so you simply can not fall.I have heard stories of people falling out and hanging themselves with their harness system, but the newer ones are more like a vest/harness and this is highly unlikely and certainly less likely than serious injury if a fall takes place without a harness.One other thing to keep in mind is the actual process of getting in the stand.Any packs or bulky clothing should be removed and put back on once securely hooked into the harness system.Also never carry your weapon up the stand with you.A "tow cord" should be used to bring all your equipment up.Make sure the weapon is unloaded until in the stand as well as an accidental discharge can be life threatening.Following these rules of advice can keep you safe in the stand and allow for years of hunting excitement.
Fires can spread faster than the blink of an eye.This is why, emergency preparedness for such kind of situation is crucial whether at home or in the workplace.Installing firefighting devices such as extinguishers, hose, and sprinkler systems are a good way to begin.However, you should not neglect other aspects of fire safety such as evacuation.Not only do you need to formulate a comprehensive exit plan, you should also ensure that exits are readily available and that you have a fire escape ladder handy to assist people during this kind of emergency.Safe and Easy Way Out.This piece of safety device does not detect smoke or extinguish flames and yet, it can be a valuable tool that can save your life one day.If you live or work in a multi-story building, it is not that easy to make a quick exit during this type of situation.If the fire were on the ground floor or in certain stairways, escaping would be very tricky and dangerous.If there is a handy escape ladder that you can roll out and hang onto the window, then you can easily flee your way out before you are trapped inside the burning building.This is why, home and building owners are advised by safety experts to invest in high quality escape ladders that can ensure safe exit.These pieces of equipment can be either a fixed structure or a portable rope ladder that can be stored in a box.While the former is sturdy and accessible at all times, the latter can be more advantageous in the sense that you can bring it with you while you try to find a window, which you can use to exit through.This is because it is possible that there is fire in the room where fixed ladder is located, whereas you can carry the portable rope ladder anywhere so you can easily escape the burning premises.Some Buying Tips Before You Go.One vital thing you have to consider when buying this safety tool is the length.It is important that the product you buy is long enough to reach the ground from the window.The standard domestic fire escape ladder measures 4.5 metre long or 15 feet.This is ideal for use from a first-storey window.On the other hand, the 7.5 metre in length is suitable for use from a second-storey window.Aside from that, you should also ensure that the product you buy meets the British Standards for Fire Equipment or BAFE.The equipment should also be easy-to-use, sturdy, and reliable.This tool is widely available online.You can also buy other safety devices such as extinguishers, smoke alarms, and fire exit signs in most online stores.Just make sure you find a reputable store where you can purchase a high quality escape ladder.As you probably know, ever since the time of its invention, fire escape ladders have saved countless lives by providing a safe and efficient escape from a burning building.Invest in one now.Who knows? One day, it may save your life.

To be quite honest, I purchase a lot of products from Amazon, but rarely take out the time to write a review. However, for this product I must say a few words.
No I am not throwing around that 4-star rating effortlessly, however the amount of effort I save by using the Flatform 4 should be recognized. I replaced a set of hand-carts with this hand "truck" and I could not be happier. The construction is superb, it folds down and expands in under 10 seconds and holds a great deal of stuff in place while transporting. It is extremely sturdy (it holds more than 300lbs), although I would not make a habit of it.
I would presume that you are interested in purchasing this hand truck because of its unique ability to fold down into such a compact size, and you would be right. Even though it can handle such a great deal of weight, the wheels move freely, it never locks up and then folds down into a compact size which is perfect for travel. I personally liked it so much, I... Read more

I have trouble walking and have limited strength due to a disabling illness. I've long dreamed of buying a cart with a big platform for the times that my traditional hand truck isn't appropriate for what I need to move, but never tried to find one. But when I had new rug installed recently, I got motivated to try to find the cart of my dreams. The installers were able to move my furniture -- but only after I'd emptied and moved everything stored in or on top of things. Among other things, I had 6 large bookcases full of books to move. So I knew I had to find a cart to use. Luckily, I found this one, because it works perfectly. I'd been worried about buying the very common, less expensive platform carts because they had tiny wheels that I feared would not move well over the carpet. Also, reviews indicated that wheels had actually broken off those cheaper carts. This cart looked promising because of its big wheels. PLUS, it weighs much less, it easily folds into a very compact... Read more

I bought this and the Magna Cart(tm) MCX at the same time. Was tired of carrying stuff. I put both of them in my car. I have used the Magna Cart Flatform hand truck more than the Magna Cart(tm) MCX. Both are great products.
The Flatform truck is easy to use. Rolls very smoothly. Folds up very flat. Is sturdy enough to hold the 300 lbs as advertised. It works as advertised. The only negative is that there is no wheel brakes on it. So it will roll away unless the surface is level.
I'm going to buy more for Christmas presents this year.
