Mascarello have brought us this great little product that is easily affordable for anyone, but still has features more commonly fund on window cleaning poles that are twice the price! The Chenille microfibre scrubber can be detached from the head when it needs a wash of its own, and reattaching it takes seconds as it is connected by Velcro. So, no need for any clips or screws. Now, will this Velcro wear down with time? I would say that’s inevitable, but replacing it wouldn’t cost much. Apart from a few little niggles, I still think this is a very good option for customers who don’t want to spend a lot on a water fed window cleaning hose. The connectors for the separate sections are solid, as are the aluminium sections themselves, and the 3 metre range is very practical. These tools really do take the effort out of cleaning windows. Well, maybe not quite as much as my cordless pressure washer for the downstairs windows anyway, but the cheapest models can be yours for under twenty pounds, and that’s a bargain if you ask me.

Now, before we start this review proper, it is important that you know this product must be used with a pressure washer, preferably a Karcher brand one to get the best results. Most higher end window cleaning poles will be made out of metal, usually aluminium. This material is chosen because it s very lightweight, yet still strong, and has very good corrosion resistance. There are two rubberised sections on the pole, and this ensures that you can always have a good grip, even when water drips down. This rubber coating feels very good quality and I don’t think it will wear away anytime soon. These are the kinds of little flaws you have to expect when you want to save money though, and it’s not the end of the world. You could quite simply buy another basic squeegee on a pole for a few quid and use it separately, and you’d still be saving money compared to many other similar products.For example, the pole is made of rust resistant aluminium and not plastic, it can be attached to a mains source to provide a constant flow of water, and comes with multiple attachments. The Als Ellan 1.5m window cleaning pole is just such a product, giving you that extra bit of range for a very competitive price. You can’t grumble at that. What’s more, the company also have a 265cm version that you can buy for only an extra five pounds or so. For strength, stability, sturdiness, and every other good word starting with ‘s’ you can think of, look no further than the DocaPole.

Steam cleaner: You can steam clean the reversible windows. Once done applying the steam, you should use a squeegee and then microfiber polish cloth to get some added shine. On the other hand, there are some low budget models out there that look the part but will give you nonstop headaches, with parts breaking easily and water leaking everywhere. You can also squeegee off the leftover moisture. Utilize a telescopic cleaning kit, in case the water is taking a long time to leave your windows. This telescopic window cleaning pole can be extended from 5 to 12 feet and it never feels wrongly weighted or off balance, allowing you to keep complete control of it even at the full length. There are no rubber coated section for extra grip on this window cleaning pole, again a cost saving thing I would say, but the plastic handle and small plastic sections along the pole are quite adequate and at the base of the handle there is a handy hanging hole for easy storage.If you really want to take the effort out of cleaning your windows, and you don’t mind paying a little extra, the Karcher Telescopic Jet Pipe could be right up your street. Water fed window cleaning poles can be attached to a garden hose and have a constant flow of water travelling through them.
