Window and solar panel cleaning

Window cleaning choosing the right tools

The historical tool used for window cleaning is the window squeegee . It is a material that may seem simple and quite basic but there are nevertheless major technical differences between the models available on the market.
First of all, you will need to choose the width of the squeegee, which ranges from 25 cm to 105 cm . The two most used sizes in professional use are the 35 cm and 45 cm widths , which alone represent more than 90% of the use because they adapt to most of the glass surfaces encountered and remain easy to use.

Types of Unger window squeegees

Unger is today the world leader in the manufacture of window and solar panel cleaning equipment.
There are several types of squeegees at Unger and we will differentiate for example:
- Unger Ergotec Ninja squeegee which features a Triloc mechanism for secure attachment of the bar as well as a pivoting squeegee head.
- S-shaped window squeegee for standard applications with the S-shaped spring allowing the squeegee bar to be changed and locked quickly.
- Unger Ergotec squeegee which is the Unger classic with a design and ergonomics adapted to all situations
The other component of the squeegee is the nature of thesqueegee rubber chosen which, depending on the condition of the surface and the external conditions, will not be the same. There are in fact two hardnesses of rubber (soft or hard).
The other complementary tool is the window cleaner which will allow you to spread the water + soap solution on the surface and thus degrease the surface. Unger offers specific window cleaning products to achieve better cleaning efficiency.
The last element that can be useful for accessing heights and in safety are of coursetelescopic poles .
There are several systems, notably at Unger with the Optiloc, Teleplus and Unitec systems.
9 heights are available up to 10 meters of range while remaining safely on the ground.

Pure water window cleaning, the professional solution

In recent years, a solution has appeared for cleaning windows, but also solar panels or washable surfaces such as cladding on industrial buildings, using pure water, the advantage of which is that it leaves no trace and eliminates the need for "scraping" and wiping.
Indeed, cleaning windows, solar panels or high surfaces with a squeegee is not always possible due to access problems or surfaces to be treated...
If you have a solar panel field of several hundreds (or even thousands) of m2, it is impossible to treat with a classic squeegee solution!
The same goes for cleaning large exterior glass surfaces, especially if they are placed high up, which will require moving the basket, ladders or scaffolding...
In this case of great height the pure water cleaning kit is perfectly adapted.
These kits offer poles with suitable heights and rigidities, water softeners (to have water free of limescale and therefore without traces) and brushes adapted to the surface.

Pure water, clean windows up to 20 meters!

The pure water window and solar panel cleaning solution is now the reference solution.
With possible working heights of up to 20 metres while remaining safely on the ground and with the guarantee of obtaining an impeccable result, pure water is the solution for large areas.
You can adjust the construction of the poles and brushes to adapt your solution to each intervention.
The benefits of pure water cleaning solution are numerous:
Safety: The pole systems used allow you to work safely up to 20 m while remaining on the ground.
Stop using dangerous ladders
Save time and increase productivity
No more wiping or scraping windows
The gain is greater on large surfaces
No use of chemicals
