BEST BRASS SQUEEGIE SALE:
WELCOME MY WINDO-PRO BLOG/SUPPLY STORE
As a Commercial and Residential Window cleaner for 35 years, I discovered early in my career the best window cleaning squeegies are the Ettorre brand brass squeegies (pictured below). Why brass you ask? Because brass has memory. When dropped from high place and bent, it can be bent back straight and will work even better than before more often than not.

MY FAVORITE BRASS SQUEEGIE SIZE:
Since I am an experienced pro, and I am quite capable of using longer squeegies as job requires without making mistakes, I prefer the sizes 20" upto 36" for standard commercial showroom windows. They get the job done quickly if your capable of using them successfully.
It is good to stock squeegie channels from 4" to 6" incraments. That way you can do any size window surface. Just use the clipable handle and switch channels quickly.
Shown here is a 22" Ettore channel. Tap image or link below for more info or to purchase item:
A 12 INCHER IS A MUST FOR SMALL PANES:
A 12" channel that can be slid into clipable handle is very handy for small window surfaces, and beginner squeegie practice, since it is a hand dexterity skill which needs to be learned.

A 6 INCHER IS MY NEXT SMALLER SIZE FOR X-SMALL PANES:
A good 6" is squeegie is always handy for small stuff on any job. Tap image or link below for more info or to purchase item:
RUBBER SQUEEGIE REFILLS:
You will always wear out squeegie rubbers in a week, or several weeks depending on how much weekly work you have to do. Personally I have 4", 12" and 20" squeegies, so when I buy rubber refills, I buy the 36" because it can be cut twice into 3 sections that fit all my squeegie channel lengths. It is cheaper to buy one 36" for all tools and easier to carry one extra to cut down to spur of the moment size needs.

SWIVELL CLAMP HANDLE:
Also, I reccomend having a swivel handle with clip on system to quickly change out the squeegie channel to a different length for different size windows. That way you only need to carry the few extra channels in your bucket instead of full size squeegie tools.
This handle will fit on just about any extension pole.

MY FAVORITE WAND SYSTEM:
And for a larger wand, like the 18" shown here, I prefer the one with the swivel handle to get into those hard to navigate corners with deep sills while using an extension pole. Tap the image or the link below for more info or to purchase item:
WAND REFILLS:
You will need a wand sleeve refill one day and this 18" one goes with above wand and can be bought in single unit or multiple unit orders. This single unit could last a few months to a year depending on your work load. They can be purchased in lots of 12.

MY FAVORITE SMALL WAND:
Of course you will need a smaller wand to use on smaller panes with smaller squeegies.
Pictured here is an Ettore 10" wand for the small stuff.

SMALL AND REFILLS:
Just like squeegie rubbers, you will wear out wand sleeve (refills) sooner or later. It is best to buy some things in bulk. A dozen of these will last you for years and save you money.
pictured here is a 10" wand sleeve refill, sold in lots of 12.

WAND SQEEGIE COMBO:
A great way to do high windows with one pole in the hot sun is with one of these. Wet down and scrub with the wand side and quickly flip it to the squeegie side and finish up before the sun dries the window pane to much.
It also works great and fast on the ground level jobs. Tap link below for more info or to purchase product.
GOOD SPONGES FOR JOB:
Of course you will need a good sponge for cleaning your squeegie blade and wiping the sills. This 3 pack is a great deal for same price as single pack. Or you could buy single sponges at the .99cent store. They are large so I reccomend that they be cut in half so they last even longer. Tap image or link below for more info or to purchase item:
ONE OF MY FAVORITE EXTENSION POLES:
For first and second floor window cleaning work this 20' extension pole is great once you aquire the skill to use it. I have 3 extension poles, one for high first floor, the second for second floor and the third for third floor work. I can do windows perfectly with all of them upto 3 floors while blindfolded. It is a lot safer and easier than usng and dragging around big ladders, something I have done my share of too.

Another great scraper for removing grout, paint, adhesive and vinal graphics. This 4" scraper is a little bigger and heavier for big jobs. And always a handle that attaches to extension poles.
REMINDER: Be careful with these heavier scrapers, test scrape a small corner of pane first to see if it scratches glass, or tinting on inside of panes.
It comes with 10 extra razor sharp blades, too.
