This versatile kit includes everything needed to tackle a wide range of cleaning jobs, making it ideal for homeowners, property managers, and anyone who wants to maintain a streak-free shine on their glass surfaces.
At its core, the kit centres around a robust aluminium pole that extends up to 5 metres (12 feet) thanks to a clever quick-lock segment design. This extended reach is particularly useful for high windows in conservatories or upstairs rooms, and it also handles challenging jobs like solar panels and siding with ease. The included 2ft extension pole brings the total reach up to 3.6m/12ft.
The kit includes a durable 10-inch squeegee featuring a left-right adjusting head for tackling awkward angles and corners, along with two spare rubber blades designed for long-lasting performance. It also comes with a smaller 25cm (10") squeegee, two machine-washable cloths, and a 1.3m (4ft) aluminium pole to get you started. The lightweight design contributes to comfortable operation, particularly when undertaking overhead cleaning tasks.
The kit’s multi-purpose design makes it suitable for windows, mirrors, bathroom walls, cars, vans, conservatories and shower doors. Stock is held in Birmingham with customer service located in Coventry ready to assist with any queries. It's important to note that the fully extended pole may exhibit slight flexing on exceptionally tall windows.
