It seems you place one of the magnetic squeegies on the outside of the window and squeegie from the inside.  It cuts the cleaning time in half.

No need for expensive window cleaners, apparantly.

Modern fangled things what will they think of next?

On the up side you can double your prices.

On the down side will need to use ladders to put them in place on upstairs windows

Hi Tosh
Those things are not new at all. I had a customer that told me about them over 10 yrs ago, she had previously lived in a flat and had used them to clean her windows. The problem is the magnets dont always work and fall of the outside window which is good when you have it connected to a string. Only trouble is the string gets caught up as you clean. In the end you give up and get a w/c to do the job.
