If you're referring to your high internal cleaning post then if you can master it , yes (i better point out i havent really used it myself though, apart from trying it out a bit)
Search for waggas videos using a wagtail on youtube
If you can reach it with an a frame/step ladder then i'd stick to normal mop/squeegee
(Although i'm guessing from yoyr post you dont trad at all at the moment?)

Hi.
I use a wagtail for some high internal stairwells at retirement apartments. I modified it as per a video I saw somewhere, which makes it not so floppy (no rude comments lol)
I agree with the previous post that it works well for high up with a pole if you can master the technique, but when you get to a height where you can blade without a pole switch over to a lambs wool and separate blade. I use the wagtail also to do the tops of shop windows but then swap back to an individual blade and lambs wool to finish off.
Cheers chez

Learn to trad buddy, quickest way to do insides and some exterior (shops etc...) are better for it...

Learn with t bar n squeegee. Wagtails are good but quality is poor. Velcro pads peel off very easily

I use Wagtail Applicator and Wagtail Slimline Squeegy's for externals and Wagtail Flipper for internals.

I bought a wagtail flipper for about £35.00 for some high internal windows but it pretty much fell apart after using it twice! Really bad quality!
