Title: Tool that catches drips from squeegee (cons, velux)
Post by: [GQC] Tim on June 06, 2011, 07:49:09 pm

I've got one or two jobs where I have to do the velux and conservatory windows on the inside. I know the vice versa and backflip tools from unger and ettore but they only seem to do just that, flip them over for washing and squeegeeing.

Is there a tool that is 100% flexible on the squeegee and scrubber so you can use it in a variety of settings, especially so the scrubber can catch the drips from the squeegee?

Could a wagtail do it? I've never used that before.

Thanks.

We carry a couple of old bed sheets on the vehicle for this sort of thing. Don't need 'em very often because if you hold your aplicator under your squeegy, nothing should drip. The other thing is, don't fan it, pull top to bottom with the aplicator under the squeegy.

Failing that Tim, get a window cleaner to show you  ;) (Runs for cover)

I know all that. Just wanted to know wether there is a tool that does it for me. As for holding the applicator at the same time. I'd rather have three points of contact when I'm all the way at the top of the combination ladder.

After the first clean, I would use Easyshine pads rather than squeegee.  Problem solved.

Back to the top. There must be something out there that does exactly that.
