The cleaning of windows, PV systems and façades is an essential aspect of building maintenance in order to preserve the aesthetic appearance of a building and ensure the longevity of its surfaces. In this context, the use of osmosis water as a cleaning agent has proven to be an extremely wise choice in recent years.
Here you can find some of our mobile osmosis systems in the store:

Here are some reasons why osmosis cleaning offers nothing but advantages. We try to explain everything as clearly and in as much detail as possible:
1. streak-free results and better cleaning effect: osmosis water is extremely pure as it is freed from dissolved minerals and impurities. This means that it leaves no residue behind, resulting in a streak-free, shiny finish on the facades. Unlike conventional tap water, which can leave behind mineral deposits, osmosis water delivers a flawless result. In addition, the water basically wants to achieve a so-called "particle equalization" after the minerals have been removed. This ensures that the water sponges up mineral components (which we find in almost all dirt) and sets them in motion, similar to the way most surfactants or cleaning agents do. However, osmosis cleaning does this completely without the use of chemicals.
2. protection of surfaces: osmosis water is gentle on surfaces. It contains no mineral salts or chemicals that could damage the facades. This ensures that cleaning does not cause abrasion or deterioration of colors or materials. It is therefore ideal for the care of delicate surfaces.
3. environmentally friendly: the use of osmosis water is environmentally friendly as it does not use chemicals or detergents. This not only reduces the environmental impact, but also minimizes the contamination of waste water with harmful substances. If the water is also produced with an osmosis system (and not with a mixed bed resin), the production of the water is also as environmentally friendly as possible. This is good for the user and good for the environment. Finally, the elimination of lifting platforms - which is often possible with osmosis cleaning - also helps to consume less gasoline and diesel.
4. longevity and efficiency: osmosis systems are able to continuously supply high-purity water at extremely low running costs. This enables efficient cleaning without any interruptions. The systems are durable and only require regular maintenance, which results in long-term cost savings.
5. greater work safety: osmosis cleaning is often carried out in conjunction with carbon telescopic poles, which today allow a reach of up to 25 meters. This means that ladders, scaffolding and cherry pickers need to be used less often and the employee can stay on the ground most of the time.
6. higher working speed helps against staff shortages and promotes economic efficiency: The speed advantage of osmosis cleaning can often be seen in practice in the example of double-sided window cleaning. While the surfaces on the inside still have to be cleaned conventionally (with a few exceptions, running water cannot be used on the inside), the surfaces on the outside are washed with clean water. Here it is often the case that one employee is faster from the outside than 2-3 colleagues who work from the inside using the classic method with a washer and squeegee.
7. surfaces stay clean for longer: As osmosis cleaning leaves a soiling-neutral surface on which there are no soaps or surfactant residues, the surfaces generally stay clean for longer than with a cleaning process that relies on chemicals. Even if the squeegee is used thoroughly and the surface is cleaned again, residues of surfactants and soap remain on rubber, in beads and joints and in scratches. Although these dissolve the dirt during cleaning, they also hold on to it. This effect subsequently causes the residues to act as a kind of "dirt magnet", creating initial starting points for atmospheric soiling or organic compounds (mosses, lichens, etc.) on the surfaces. In glass cleaning, the osmosis process can often reduce cleaning from 3 to 2 passes per year.
