How to choose a fixture that will help clean windows from two sides?

Somewhat earlier, the procedure for washing windows took quite a lot of time and effort. Moreover, the result was far from always positive. Napkins left stains, and if one of the windows was dull, then from the side of the street it was almost impossible to get to all its corners. Over the past decades, a large number of devices have been created that help modern housewives wash windows on both sides. And this process is happening quickly and, most importantly, safely.

Sliding wiper

The simplest, cheapest, and most popular window cleaning tool is a wiper with a sliding handle. This device is convenient in that it is light in weight, and thanks to its simple design, it allows you to easily remove dirt from both the inside and the outside of the double-glazed windows.

A feature of this equipment is its handle - it is a retractable tram that allows you to get and clean the most inaccessible places with high quality.

Telescopic brushes have a number of undeniable advantages:

• economical consumption of detergent;
• the length of the handle can be adjusted independently during operation, and this allows you to wash windows of various heights and designs;
• there are always several different nozzles in the kit, the angle of which can also be easily changed;
• You can use such a device for cleaning windows, as well as any mirror and glass surfaces.

On sale you can find a large number of such devices for cleaning, but the general plan of the structure will be the same for everyone: the squeegee, with which moisture and dirt are removed, a sliding handle and replaceable brushes. However, there are distinctive characteristics. First of all, the length of the telescopic stick. If your house has standard size windows, then in this case you should pay attention to the mop, the handle of which has a length of about a meter. This is enough to wash the glass on both sides.

If the windows are large, panoramic, then they will have to choose a larger device, the handle of which will be about half a meter longer than the height of the glass unit. In addition, when choosing, it is important to pay attention to the strength of the mop - all parts must be firmly fixed and in no case hang out. When turning, the nozzle should not make squeaks or any other extraneous sounds.

Rules for using the telescopic wiper

Using a mop with a retractable handle is quite simple.

1. First you need to set the length of the handle, taking into account the height of the glass and your own height.
2. After the brush is tilted, it should reach all corners of the window on both sides during operation.
3. To clean the windows, you should prepare two buckets with water - one add the detergent, and the second, with clean water, is necessary for washing the nozzles.
4. The wiper is lowered into a bucket of detergent and the sponge part is wiped with a double-glazed window, after which the nozzle is washed in clean water and squeezed.
5. Now you need to change the brush to a scraper, with which all water is driven into the corner of the structure, while the movements are strictly vertical.
6. The scraper is washed, dried and the procedure is repeated on the next window.

Tip

So that after using the telescopic mop on the windows there are no stains left, the scraper should be completely dry. When working, it is pressed tightly to the surface and lead, without tearing, to the corner of the double-glazed window!

Magnetic brushes

Magnetic brushes are more expensive than telescopic wipers, but at the same time they are safer, since when working with them there is no need to bend to wash the glass from the outside.

Such devices can be used for washing windows, glass roofs, heat-saving double-glazed windows, panoramic and ordinary windows. Among the many products of this group can be distinguished brush "Tatla" and Window Wizard.

Tatla device

This magnetic brush has several advantages:

• a variety of configurations, thanks to which the consumer has the opportunity to choose a model for a particular case;
• with minimal labor costs allows you to wash windows of various shapes and heights;
• after using this device on the double-glazed window there are no stains left, therefore, the hostess will not have to spend extra time on eliminating glare;
• Magnetic devices can be used in any weather, both in sultry summers and frosty winters.

However, when using the Tatla brush, it is important to remember some of the operating features that will significantly improve the quality of cleaning. Firstly, before starting work, you need to make sure that the safety cord does not prevent the device from moving. Secondly, the apparatus must be positioned so that the cleaning cloth is in front of the scraper, and the brushes are at an angle of 45 ° on both sides of the window. And thirdly, when washing a double-glazed window, one should not make sudden movements.

Window Wizard Model

This device also helps to clean glass from both sides. The Window Wizard device consists of two brushes interconnected by a magnet. One part is a soft sponge used for washing, the second is a rubber scraper that helps remove moisture.

Important!

Such a device can not be purchased for any double-glazed window - its thickness should not exceed 2.7 cm!

Use the Window Wizard magnetic brush as follows:

• dilute a small amount of detergent in water and soak a washing sponge with the resulting solution;
• attach both parts of the brush to the double-glazed window - one inside, the second outside, while they should be located strictly parallel to each other;
• making smooth movements, window washing starts from the upper corner and gradually moves to the center of the glass; if it is a showcase or a panoramic window, it is better to start washing from the center.

Vacuum cleaner robot

If the range of magnetic brushes is quite wide, then the range of robots for washing double-glazed windows is very scarce. However, this device is able to completely take on the job of cleaning windows.

On the market today you can find the following modifications of such robots.

• Winbot w 730 and Winbot w These devices are held on a double-glazed window thanks to a vacuum sensor that determines the necessary pressure for maximum grip. They work as follows: the nozzle, which is located in front, is impregnated with detergent - it moistens the surface of the windows and removes dirt and dust. The rubber scraper located further removes a moisture layer. On the back of the structure is a microfiber cloth - it completes the job by wiping the windows dry on both sides. When the cleaning is finished, the robot gives a signal. During operation, such a vacuum cleaner itself builds a route and changes the path during cleaning due to the built-in protectors, and the side rollers prevent the possibility of surface damage.
• Windoro WCR-I001. This device is attached in a different way - with the help of a powerful magnet. The brushes, which must be placed on both sides, independently supply the glass with a cleaning agent, and rubber drives prevent the formation of stains. This device runs on battery power, the navigator helps to clean all parts of the glass. First, the robot moves along the perimeter of the structure, determining its dimensions. During washing, it makes zigzag movements, gradually moving to the starting point. A sound signal will inform you of the completion of the work.

On a note

Robot Windoro WCR-I001 will start its work only if the glass is completely dry!

• Hobot-168. This model is most in demand, as it is a convenient compact device. Able to clean glass 3 mm thick. Thanks to the built-in intelligence, it independently finds the edges of the structure. Has a safety cord that prevents the device from dropping. Napkins that wipe the windows at the final stage of washing are removable. They can be washed and reused. This robot is powered by the network, but also has a built-in battery, which helps to finish the job during power outages.

On a note
