Indoor window cleaning kits
« on: September 18, 2015, 03:10:18 pm »
Gonna buy one of these - non pumped, on cleaning spot there seems to be 3 options vikan  £75ish, unger £75ish and delux £26ish. The vikan and unger come with 6 mops the delux with one. Most people seem to have the vikan do any of you use the unger or delux or have have experience of using all or any of these?

With these type of indoor kits you can get through a lot of pads if windows are quite dirty,may be ok for regular maintance internals.
Probably easier to trad clean them with applicator and blade that's what I find and I do a lot of internal work.

I us the Vikan one but only on windows that are cleaned regularly and hard to reach (office desk or photocopier in the way).
For this purpose it saves messing around time and physically having to move equipment with all the associated risks.
Blade and mop is always my first choice for interior windows but for circumstances such as mentioned above the Vikan has paid for itself many times over.
I even found another use for it recently and that was on a glass conservatory roof with a shallow angle, usually it's really hard work getting the water and brush to wash all the dirt and debris away towards the gutters. I  attached the Vikan to the end of my pole and literally mopped the roof before rinsing off.
Worked a treat.

We use both the vikan and unger kits, not a lot to choose between the two, vikan pads are good all rounders, unger do several grades which perform well and they do a heavy duty pile which is great for really dirty stuff.

You can easily go through 40+ in a day ( schools - hospitals etc ) if he windows haven't been regularly cleaned you sometimes need to go over them a second time - tadgh's waffle cloths work well on the pad holder as well.
