Title: Different technique side squeegee fanning method.
Post by: H MAN on December 20, 2016, 10:37:29 am
This is just to show that if you have the right swivel movement on the handle .
That it makes the whole swivel fanning experience.
Easy to do.

Different method to how I squeegee (although I'm very rarely on the tools now), however at least one of my lads works this way.

Maybe it's just me but there's something soothing about watching someone squeegee windows, it's therapeutic!

Funny how people come on here having made a video of their cleaning technique. When in actual fact it is just a means by which they're illustrating all the bad habits and ways of cutting corners, excuse the pun, they've picked up over the years.

I'm not saying my technique is any better or worse than anyone else's but I tend to work double handed, similar to Terry Burrows (I'm probably faster  ;) )

Its always easy to criticise others and find faults.

What actually cleans the windows? The soap on the mop or the squeeqee ? On wfp what cleanes the windows the brish or the water?

So provided the dirt on the window is agitated enough and theres plenty of soap/liquid on the windows. When the squeegee blades into/around the corners and the windows, this will pull enough detergent to ensure the corners are cleaned and esp if detailing with a scrim.

Personally im not a huge fan of h mans videos or gimmicks. Or swivels or dog tails or the likes,,,ive done my fair share of yrs on trad tools to know its technique and a good rubber in the squeegee that makes the difference on the glass

Thanks for pointing that out.
But basically the video was to show how the movement worked.   ;D

But it didn't.
It showed a blade that pivoted, much like a wagtail? There was no detail to it.
Are you paid per click or view

H-man  it appears you're wasting your ingenuity and time with this lot. 
Whatever make your life easier with tools you have design yourself good on you for sharing.
Pity that most that use gardiner wfp kit don't realise that they use at least one of your ideas that you never got anything out of it. Lets hope the same don't happen to your others ideas too.

The blade takes the water into the corners. Don't tell me the corners need a scrub ?

Indeed that is how us pro's do it so to avoid soaking the frames etc when you don't need to.

Fitted swivel on a squeegee channel to see how it goes.
Found that it gives a nice smooth flow as you are using the squeegee.

Looks a lot better action than the other types of swivels I've used.

What would you say are the main benefits/selling points on developing a new type of swivel.

This is the basics.
It has a smooth action via a unique action that allows it to be used with minable movement of arms  and shoulders. 
Also it will allow you to have even pressure on the squeegee channel no matter what angle you are using it on.
The good thing to is that it will also have a channel clamp that fits just about any channel on the market.
