Wiper

This is the easiest window cleaning tool. It is a regular scraper with an elastic band, to which a container is attached to collect or spray water or a cleaning agent. Water flowing down the scraper flows directly into the tank.

Important! Sometimes you can find models that allow you to spray water through the window, because it is known that washing glass surfaces is impossible without a large amount of liquid.

Kärcher has become a pioneer in the design and manufacture of these devices. They are the first to launch truly high-quality wipers equipped with automatic programs. Even in simple models, they can meet the function of liquid absorption and automatic surface spraying of detergent.

• The price of even good models is relatively small and affordable.
• The device allows you to wash even tall windows.
• In addition to windows, the device can wash mirrors and even tiles in the bathroom.

disadvantages

Most often, the device is equipped with batteries so that the wire does not interfere with washing. At the same time, the battery lasts for only one or two cleanings.

Important! At the time of purchase, pay attention to the weight of the device. It does not have to be very large, because the device has to be kept on hand for a long time during harvesting.

Window cleaner

Recently, robots for washing windows, which can also be used to clean many other surfaces protected from moisture, have gained great popularity.

The principle of operation is simple - water enters the surface, and then it is suctioned back by a vacuum under high pressure.

To clean windows and mirrors, it is important to have a special nozzle, which is necessary for this purpose. Often, manufacturers supplement the nozzle with a microfiber cloth, in this case, the cleaning is even more effective.

Window Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Recently, on the shelves of shops you can find unusual compact devices for washing windows - robotic vacuum cleaners. The principle of their action is as follows:

• with the help of magnets or a vacuum suction cup, the device is fixed to the window;
• with the help of wheels and electricity, he moves on the surface;
• on the inside there is a microfiber cleaning cloth that removes all dirt without leaving streaks.

Important! The movements of the robot are not chaotic - given the size of the window, it moves along the vertical and horizontal axis so that cleaning is as effective as possible. Its path is determined by built-in shock sensors.

In order to make cleaning as efficient as possible, detergent is sometimes added to the capacity of the vacuum cleaner. It is automatically fed to the napkin, and after cleaning, the scraper will remove the remaining substance along with dirt.

Important! When buying a device, carefully read the thickness of the window for which the device is designed. For ordinary glass and double-glazed windows, different robots are needed, otherwise - the magnets needed to hold on the surface simply can not cope with their function.

Advantages:

• The window cleaner works fully automatically. This significantly saves time and effort on cleaning the premises.
• If the robot works correctly, then cleaning is extremely effective.
• In some models, cleaning is carried out immediately from two sides, which allows you to immediately wash the window over the entire surface.

Disadvantages:

• The range of such devices is still quite poor.
• A window cleaner is very expensive.
• The process of washing one window takes quite a long time. In addition, if the apartment has many windows, it is advisable to buy several appliances.

Important! Many users note that the battery charging time is not enough to clean large windows.
