Friday Window Cleaning Releases

50? Not a day over 25! Unger keeps it young.

Unger celebrates 50th anniversary in style with limited edition work wear range: As part of Unger’s celebrations to mark 50 years of innovation and excellence in cleaning tool design and manufacture, a limited edition, high quality work wear range has been launched. Each item of high quality outdoor work wear features the 50th anniversary commemorative logo. Practical enough to withstand the rigours of day-to-day work, but also smart enough to use when off-duty, the range is available to UK customers now. The work wear collection consists of: - 

• Softshell jacket – A versatile garment that is both wind resistant and water repellent, with the added bonus of a warm lining for greater comfort. The jacket also features two zipped hand warmer pockets and one zipped chest pocket. 
• Hoodie – A practical hooded jacket with two front kangaroo pockets, inner headphone pocket and reinforced seams. 
• Softshell waistcoat – A sleeveless version of the jacket, featuring all the same great benefits. 
• Beanie – A warm, knitted hat; a must-have for the professional window cleaner and Unger fan! 

These products have been developed as part of a year-long celebration to mark Unger’s 50th anniversary. More activities and special promotions will be launched throughout 2014, to thank customers for their continued loyalty.

Classic squeegee and accessories celebrate Unger milestone

NEWS RELEASE: In 2014 Unger is celebrating an amazing 50 years of supplying quality equipment to cleaning professionals, and it is marking it in style by launching limited editions of some of the products that have made Unger a trusted name in the cleaning industry.

When it was first introduced, the ErgoTec^® Squeegee was a welcome breakthrough in ergonomic design, offering increased comfort, balance, and greater control to window cleaners. Its moulded handle ensures a secure grip when wet and is warm to the touch in winter. The special edition ‘50 years’ squeegee features:

·       Soft Rubber Green – Sharp edges enable thorough wiping for superior finish

·       Ergonomic two-component handle in exclusive grey color with silver metallic effect

·       Laser engraved 50th Anniversary logo

 

A 50 years washer with Ninja sleeve is also available, featuring an ergonomic two-component handle with water wells, in exclusive grey color with silver metallic effect. The washer sleeve is highly absorbent with two abrasive side pads featuring built-in rows of scrubbing fibers, complete with a 50th Anniversary logo on the Velcro fastening.

Both products are available individually, but also feature in a 50 years anniversary set, together with Unger’s ‘bucket on a belt’. This convenient holdall for important tools has a clip lock for quick fastening, and is ideal for use when working on ladders, indoors, or in narrow, confined spaces. The set, which features the special 50^th anniversary logo on each product, includes a Certificate of Authenticity and is packed in a unique box set.  All products will be available throughout the anniversary year, while stocks last.
