Jjs window cleaning service 23 Posted January 26 I brought a stingray for a job similar to this...I was wary as some windies have said its a load of poo for want of a better word. I was surprised it did a great job using the new deep clean pad and after 1st job it paid for itself. No need for ladders and I've never liked wagtails though it's a personal preference Share this post Link to post

Daniel Perkins 136 Posted January 26 Get an angle adaptor like wagtail or buy a ledger. Perfect for jobs with no leverage Share this post Link to post

Ive tested the stingray and i dont like it..... i dont think it gives a very good finish. the best tools are an applicator and squeegey 1 Daniel Perkins reacted to this Share this post Link to post

I only use it though on hard to reach places and trad the rest Share this post Link to post
Pjj 1,028 Posted January 26 Certainly for the first clean you will get far better results by getting up close and personal and doing it with a mop and blade , it could be done like this using a pole , ladder or scaffold tower , from experience I have found the dragonfly and all other similar things don’t give a satisfactory result especially in low sun angles Share this post Link to post

scottish cleaning service 717 Posted January 27 I was painting a window with astragals outside like the one you are cleaning. I decided to bolt on a large piece of 3"/2" wood on to the end of my ladder. It meant I could bridge the centre of the window without touching it. Would need to have someone footing the bottom of the ladder or a bag of sand to hold it in place. Then you could get up close and deep clean them. Share this post Link to post
