Title: water fed pole is crap
Post by: paul saunders on June 22, 2010, 08:48:08 pm: My wife has just used it to clean the windows and she's not inpressed, and neither am I.

The lounge carpet is wet through, and the wood flooring in the hallway is ruined. ;D ;D

What it's called and how do you get on with it on typical dirty inside windows, or kitchen windows with lots of splashes on the glass?

i bought mine from here
http://www.marketeer-london.com/Leifheitprod/cleaning/picospraywindow.html
the same pads that come with the vikanshine fitts this tool 8) if the glass is really dirty, you can trad with it, then turn to the microfibre pads, and the water tank lasts for ages, the great thing about the picospray, is the rubber is specialy made to glide with pure water, no drag, for the price you cant go wronge
