Professional window cleaners run into stains on windows that require additional scrubbing. A scrub handle with a pad is a great option for dealing with difficult spots. Scrub pads give you the option of using them by hand or having the ability to attach to a scrub pad holder. The scrub pad holders allow for cleaning high up stains with the capability of attaching to a pole. Bronze and steel wool pads are popular because they resist rusting as well as scrubber sleeves that go on a t-bar.
Different scrubbing tools can work best in certain situations but a lot of the scrubbing options boil down to your personal preference of cleaning. You need to consider the height you are working at, how aggressive a scrub you need and what you want to keep on hand. Some window cleaners will walk around with a small bronze wool pad, others will prefer it to be able to attach to their t-bar. In the end, the end goal is to remove all abrasion off the window without scratching the surface of the glass.
Our team at Detroit Sponge always recommends trying out a tool with the least aggression before putting anything super abrasive on the glass. Again, most of the products will work but must be used with caution. From there, it is all about your personal preference of scrubbing style. We love recommending our selection of scrub pads and holders to our customers. Check out some of the specs on our best sellers you can use at a higher working height when attached to a pole!
