Probably one of the most inefficient indoor cleaning tools when it comes down to cost and results.

Of course you will say that you are a supplier.

I am sure Unger will sell huge volumes of their Stingray indoor cleaning system and i wish them great success, its just that i have been around too long in this game to be taken in by all their clever marketing.

Hope it's not as bad as the cleano ( pretty much the same as the stingray - it's heavy, hard to use and costs a fortune! (£300+) no wonder the the guy selling it gave it away at £25 !!

I like the pad and pole for inside cleaning or pad and waffle cloth ! - light, fast, exceptional results!

Its an overpriced pad system designed to appeal to the inexperienced shiner, now like all pad systems it wont be as good
as a mop and squeegee but then that's not the intention.
They are designed to enable us to clean high interior windows safely from the ground, so what makes this product rubbish compared to others, well for a start you can only use the pole designed for the product which is a heavy alloy contraption with a button on each section.
Next you have to lift the liquid and pump machine up to each window unlike the Dragonfly which has it on a belt around your
waist so keeping the weight at the end of the pole as light as possible.
The thing is anybody with experience in using any pad system will know that you don't need to spray the liquid onto the glass
as long as you spray it on the pad it will still get on the glass and clean it.
Will this do the job ? I'm sure it will but there are handier and cheaper pads systems that will give you the same results.

When using  any type of internal window cleaning kits its better to use microfiber cloths with just water instead of using microfiber glass mop pads and any additives. Its said that if a surface is deemed to be clean there should be no SSR's (Streaks,Smears,Residues,) left behind, most additives will leave some residue behind on the glass and with the heat generated from insides these residues will dry out on the glass which will make them appear smeary when the sun shines. from my experience i have found using microfiber cloths with just water to be more effective especially on internals if you want to achieve a finish free of SSR's.  Tadgh

Yes Smurf, when people are walking down stairs especially on a sunny day these residues/smears will be very noticeable. A great feeling of pride and nothing better than looking through crystal clear windows.
