How to choose the professional window squeegee handle
When choosing a professional raclette handle, several criteria must be taken into account to ensure that it perfectly meets your needs:

Compatibility with the bar or squeegee blade

The blade or bar of the squeegee, which must be of high quality, made of robust materials such as stainless steel or rubber, in order to guarantee gentle cleaning without leaving marks or scratches, must be compatible in terms of attachment with the handle chosen. The size of the blade glass strip determines the surface that you can clean with each pass. The rigidity of the handle must be adapted to the size of the barrette. By opting for standard models (35 to 45 cm) a standard professional handle will be suitable. If you use larger window bars up to 55 cm 75 cm or more, you will need to take a suitable handle.

In this case, we are not talking about a one-off use but rather a use to leave m2 . In this case improving productivity during intensive cleaning is strategic to reduce costs. Look for models with soft and comfortable handles, with trigger buttons for ease of use.
