Best squeegee for pole tradding

[Dan Paton]

As per the title really. I don't particularly like ladder work so I'm going to practice tradding with a pole in case I can't WFP for any reason. What's the best squeegee for the job? I have a couple of wagtails but just wondered what others use.

not the best trading top windows, as all our brothers are saying get used to the ladders

I use Unger blades, with an angle adaptor fitted to the Moerman 6 meter telescopic pole.

You can get the Moerman pole in ToolZone for a cracking price

I have two slimline wagtail flippers 10" and 14". Stick it on a 5m harris pole with an angle adapter. As others have said you will struggle with the frames but is doable.

Check out some of the vids on youtube.

Trading the top windows using a pole is fine if you only have one or two windows upstairs and the rest are ground floor, so not worth unloading the ladders or if using a ladder would be unsafe like on decking. Otherwise going up a ladder for top windows is always going to be better as your up close and personal and can clean the frames, sills and vents.
