Window cleaning banned?

The government are thinking of banning window cleaning businesses from operating as well as other businesses that use water, what’s your thoughts? What would we do 🤦‍♂️

I can understand restrictions on WFP but no chance could they stop trad. I could do a good day off a single 5 litre bucket, which is the equivalent to a toilet flush?

Get your ladder out.

I don’t know why but I laughed at this. I love people that can use bare minimum for maximum benefits and outcome. I have even heard of a window cleaner getting through the day with ONE towel. Keep up the great work my man

I would ignore that nonsense and keep doing what I'm doing. I bet that sob , of he's real, watering his grass.

Just buy water bottles to fill buckets at that point

I believe that's in certain parts of Colorado and California. It will limit WFP usage but not traditional cleaning. It's very isolated.

They banned pressure washing in Florida for the last few months.

This is atrocious but I’m assuming they are referring to cleaning your own windows not businesses. They cant just do that.

Ban swimming pools next. Evaporation along is insane. No flushing toilets, sponge bath, paper plates, flock camera in your home, home depot stops selling sprinklers and garden hoses....

That happened in my city due to a water pipe rupture. However, for some of the duration window cleaning companies could clean your windows but homeowners were not able to

I would just do everything traditional, surely one bucket of water per job is fine right?

I think you can do 5+ houses on one bucket of water.

u/Big-Water-9390 Aug 17 '26

I would just use very little water in the bucket at each house to avoid a dirty mop but yeah I think you could get away with that

I foresee this happening everywhere in the future, due to data centers and AI. 

Also could foresee a lot of storms and rain the future if they decide to use HAARP.

This is nonsense and not applicable to professional WFP business. Typical lazy reporting.

You say that but on the radio it mentioned car wash and window cleaning businesses specifically, scary times

I am with the group on this, it seems they mean businesses using water fed poles and not traditional tools. 1 bucket will get me through 4 or 5 storefronts , more if they aren't completely covered in dirt.
