The International Window Cleaning Association convention, held in Savannah, GA, in January 2020, gathered window cleaners from all around the country to learn and share about the industry. The strength of the window cleaning industry was evident as attendees were eager to learn from other professionals. There was a common goal to work towards creating and becoming more efficient workers in efforts to keep up with industry growth. Detroit Sponge’s trade booth had a steady stream of visitors to discuss and teach about our products and manufacturers, and to continue conversations on how to grow with new industry tools. And don’t forget, the FREE Sorbo channel giveaway!
This year in the professional window cleaning tool industry, we expect to be offering a new line of Pure Water system as well as plenty of scrubbing accessories and adapters for waterpoles. Other new tools for Pure Water cleaning were presented at the show and discussed in detail:
- the Tucker Alpha Scrubber
- specialized goosenecks
- easy to maintain Pure Water systems
Our inventory continues to expand with these types of new products. This year we teamed up with Sorbo once again to give away a custom channel to those who visited Detroit Sponge’s booth. The deep blue channel with lightning strikes was a huge hit with attendees of the conference. We love to offer these perks of the IWCA events for window cleaners!
You can visit our website online and our warehouse in person in Wixom, MI, to learn more and see all the new products.
Remember, it’s not all about waterpoles! All the pros still have their eye on trying to find the best setup for hand tools such as squeegees and scrubbers. With a new, younger generation of window cleaners joining the trade, there are fresh eyes and new innovations to some of the time honored tools of the trade. We heard positive feedback about the great texture, feel, and performance of the Unger Ninja products, the timeless quality of the Ettore Rubber, as well as the durability and flawless performance of the Sorbo line. It was fun to see some of the younger crowd looking at the timeless Ledger squeegee handles! The new Moerman Ultimate 2.0 squeegee combo was a hit as well, with its snazzy look and efficiency on the job.
In summary, it was great to support the IWCA’s 2020 event and to be there to enjoy time with window cleaning pros from all over the USA. The convention continues to impress the industry leaders with the quality of the attendees, large and small companies alike, who seek out how best to improve their enterprises with increased safety and efficiency. If you are interested in hearing from professionals about the great economy for beginning and growing a window cleaning business, learning about the struggles to find new team members to keep up with growth, ever expanding use of waterpoles and Pure Water technology, or even just a FREE Sorbo channel giveaway, keep you ears and eyes open for what is to come with the IWCA.
Stay tuned in 2020 for more new products from all of our great manufacturers and for the upcoming IWCA convention 2021 in Las Vegas, NV. We have been and will continue to be a proud supporter of this great organization.
