Title: wagtail & karcher
Post by: Kevin Beanz on March 23, 2015, 09:11:05 pm

Hey, What's happening,

Today I used a wagtail flipper, the one with the applicator sleeve that hangs down while squeegeeing. Well it was just fab while I cleaned an INTERNAL kitchen glass roof, no having to catch the run of water that is usual from a conventional  squeegee. But more important able to keep one hand on the ladder.It got me thinking that the Karcher window cleaning vacuum would do the same even if upside down????????????

These work well for internal windows if they are quiet clean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A71lmCMyXxg

Although it is possible to make swivel type squeegees that work same as a wagtail?

Thanks for the window cleaning warehouse link. I've ordered a wagtail flipper pivot wotsit thingy. It'll be interesting to see how it goes.

H Man, I don't have the ability to make my own otherwise I'd give it a go but thanks anyway.
