High-Rise Window Cleaning Tools: Sorbo Squeegees

Video Transcript

"My name is Jason, I'm with Hi-Tech Window Cleaning and in step two of this, I'm going to keep on talking about the kind of equipment we use. In the last step I talked about Sorbo, this is another Sorbo, it's a smaller channel. They make them in all different sizes from two inch, up to thirty six inch, you know, eighteen is about the biggest we use, cause anything larger is a little bit tougher to turn, and I will show you how to do that in another step. Another squeegee is made by Ettore. This is a smaller channel, it's a thinner channel, it bends a lot easier but it is a little bit lighter weight, and their a lot cheaper. This is for doing very small Frenchy windows, cut up's, things of that nature, and this type of handle does not swivel, so it doesn't turn on you. Another squeegee we have is a zero degree, it's made by Unger, this is for doing pole work mainly, it swivels, but you can lock it as well. This is mainly for doing pole work, it's not something you really use on house windows that much, and I'll show you how to use that later on in the segment. Those are the main types of squeegees, there are other's, but that is what is used universally by Professional Window Cleaners, and the cost ranges from ten to fifteen dollars for the handle, and on up. The channels range about the same. But, a typical squeegee set up is going to run you about thirty dollars."
