Latest Window Cleaning Videos

Another installment from Mark Strange of "Beautiful View" from Toronto, Canada gives us a few more unbiased reviews of products in the window cleaners workplace, this week the swivel version of the "Stutzy" handle from Pulex. The fixed "Stutzy" handle is reviewed here.

Previously featured in another blog entitled "extreme window cleaning," the "Karcher WV 50" is a cross between a rubber bladed squeegee and a dustbuster handheld vacuum. Only time will tell if this machine will catch on, in my experience most home owners would rather spend their time doing something else.

How safe are glass cleaners around children and pets? Poison control centers get thousands of calls a year regarding glass cleaners. ABC7 Los Angeles teamed up with Consumer Reports, and found out that only a few glass cleaners provide warnings on their products. Certain concentrated cleaning products are required to have warning labels on the outside of the container. However, glass cleaners are not. Some companies do include safety information on their bottles. However, it's on the back of the front label. So you might have to peer around a bar-code sticker, through the plastic bottle and through colored liquid in order to read it. Another reason to hire a professional window cleaner!

The "Stutzy" Pulex Squeegee Handle

When Giulio Guizzi (founder and CEO of Pulex - pictured left) gave me my first Stutzy handle he managed to snap the channel right in to the handle from the top - I've never been able to repeat that action, but not for want of trying. However I have made it work hard over the last few years & is still one of my favourites even though it's on the heavy side! Alex Lambrinides of Window Cleaning Resources gives us a run through of the squeegee handle below. Another installment (last video) from Mark Strange of "Beautiful View" from Toronto, Canada gives us a few more unbiased reviews of products in the window cleaners workplace. This time his opinion on the Stutzy squeegee, in this weeks edition of "Tool Talk." Ssshhh - they make them in swivels!!



Stutzy: the window washer that combines unrivalled mechanical quality with total safety in use. The result of an in-depth study of professional window cleaners’ safety, practicality and quality requirements, Stutzy is the top of the IPC Pulex range. Stutzy is designed to satisfy the most demanding European and American standards for safety and performance in high-rise work. Mechanically simple but precise, Stutzy incorporates all the traditional qualities of IPC Pulex window washers plus a patented safety mechanism that makes it the only washer able to guarantee the active and passive safety of high-rise operators. Stutzy’s clever design can be summarised in three main points. Stutzy is universal: because it is able to use all common squeegee holders, irrespective of type and length. This allows cleaning professionals using Stutzy to choose the squeegee holders that best suit their needs or the operating situations they have to work in. Stutzy is guaranteed safe: A safety spring prevents the channel from detaching from the handle even if the mechanism is accidentally opened during the course of high-rise operations. This simple but safe mechanism, patented by IPC Pulex, lets you work in total safety and change channels quickly and easily even during precarious operations, in the knowledge that they cannot accidentally fall, causing major inconvenience and possibly even injuring passers by. Stutzy is fast to use: Squeegees can be slid in even with the channel in place, making assembly easier than ever. With other tools, squeegee changes waste a great deal of valuable working time; with Stutzy changing the squeegee is amazingly quick and easy. Technical characteristics: The Stutzy handle is made from co-moulded steel and plastic in two sections, one of which incorporates a non-slip rubber section. A slot in the base allows Stutzy to be attached to a safety cord. Stutzy can be used on telescopic poles. The clamp locks in place without screws, using a nylon locking and release lever. The internal fixing system incorporates a spring to lock the channel in place. Stutzy can use all common professional window cleaning squeegee channels.
