Window Cleaning Kits

A window cleaning kit is a squeegee, a washer and a pole supplied together with matching thread sizes, so the squeegee and washer both fit the pole without an adapter. Buying the same parts separately costs more and frequently produces a mismatch.What is in a window cleaning kitEvery kit contains four things: a telescopic pole, a stainless-steel squeegee channel with a rubber blade, a microfibre washer sleeve on a T-bar, and the thread fitting that joins them. The larger kits add a spare sleeve and a replacement rubber, which are the two parts that wear out first. Nothing else in a kit is consumable.What separates one kit from the next is not the squeegee — it is the pole length, and pole length is decided by the height of the glass.Which window cleaning kit suits which buildingKitPoleReachesPrice incl.

Buy separately when one part has failed: a worn blade needs a rubber, not a new kit. Our window cleaning squeegees and telescopic window cleaning poles are sold individually for exactly that reason.The one case where a kit is the wrong answer is glass above roughly nine metres, where a squeegee on a pole stops being workable at all.When a kit is not enoughAbove three storeys the water on the glass dries before the squeegee reaches it, and the pole flexes too much to keep the blade flat. That is the point at which cleaners move to purified water and a brush head instead of a squeegee. See high reach window cleaning equipment for how working height changes the method, and water fed poles for the equipment that replaces the squeegee.Panels are a separate case again: they are cleaned with a soft rotating brush rather than a squeegee, covered under solar panel cleaning equipment.
