Title: High internal /pivoting squeegee?
Post by: pure tech on December 26, 2010, 07:05:28 am

Just wondering which is the best way to clean high internal window (12'-15' up)
Often not accessable by ladder for various reasons.
These I usually do by pole and rotating sorbo squeegee.
Downward strokes and a final horiz stroke to clear the sill but it is hard to close out due to pole angle etc.
Would an ettore contour or a pivoting wagtail be the way to go?
I gather these have the option of rotating the channel 90 degrees and also the ability to pivot the handle angle to the blade to be a 0-40 degree squeegee.
If anyone can understand what I am on about and offer some advise it would be much appreciated. :)

i use Wagtail. its worth buying the Wagtail angle arm too for getting over deep sills and if you cant stand in front of the window ,turn the angle arm at a different angle and this makes the job really easy and fun

Wagtails are BRILLIANT for high internal work. Very quick & easy.

Thanks guys, looks like a 14"wagtail with an angle arm is whats required.
Any suggestions on which wagtail ?
Thinking maybe the whirlwind for its versatility?
If anyone has used the ettore contour it would be nice to know how you liked it.
Thanks
