Choosing a magnetic window brush

Modern household appliances do not stand still. Even well-known and familiar products are gradually being replaced by new products that increase the user's comfort in everything and the productivity of the housewife's activities. For the same purpose, a magnetic device was invented a few years ago for washing glass on both sides. This tool is designed for quick and easy window cleaning.

The magnetic brush cleans from the outside and inside. By doing this, she significantly saves the housewife's time and eliminates the possibility of falling. However, the choice of a product is not so simple: you need to know the features of the brush, its varieties and nuances of use.

The brush is made of sturdy plastic. Outwardly, it is a system of two halves that flush the windows simultaneously from both sides. At the heart of each of them is a special magnet. Because of it, the part that is fixed in the hands restrains the second part, which is located on the outside of the window.

The two parts are interconnected by the attraction of plates with magnets. The first brush is used for the inner surface of the window, the second is needed for the outer one. The cleansing area is covered with softened substances, usually foam or felt. When the material is worn out, there is no need to completely replace the product. They just buy new sponges in the store.

A rubber strip (scraper) is located along the edge, which removes the remaining liquid. It does not leave streaks, polishes the glass. The washing time when using the device is reduced by at least two times.During window cleaning, both parts move synchronously: the second moves behind the first, cleaning the second surface.

To prevent the second part from falling out if the magnet fails, there is a safety measure - a cord. Its end can be attached to a part of the device or at the end of a ring that is attached to a window handle or a cleaning hand. The double-sided cleaning brush has only positive customer reviews.

Today, there are many such products on the market for such products. They can be designed for:

• washing glasses with a thickness of 5–6 mm;
• single-chamber double-glazed windows 16–24 mm;
• two-chamber structures up to 34 mm thick.

In this case, it is important to provide for a certain feature. It seems that if you buy a product for double-glazed windows, into which the most powerful magnets are inserted, you can use it to clean not only the window, but also the balcony panes. But this is a serious misconception. For thin glasses, such a device is too powerful: it is difficult to move the second brush. Therefore, for each thickness, you must choose your own device.

Before starting cleaning, the parts of the device must be disconnected. To do this, they are turned 90 degrees relative to each other. Both parts are lowered into a bucket, and then attached to the glass on both sides of the glass at the same level. They put a safety ring on the hand and begin to wash the window from the corners of the structure, gradually moving towards its center.

The part of the magnetic brush, which is located on the outside of the glass unit, repeats all the movements of the first half. The procedure for double-sided cleaning of panoramic windows begins from the top so that streams of contaminated water do not flood the washed glass.

To understand whether you need such a device for cleaning windows in an apartment, you need to understand all its strengths and weaknesses. When using this product, the user does not need to expose himself to the risk of hanging out of the window to wash the back of the glass. Windows are completely cleaned from inside the room. Due to the fact that the cleaning process takes place from both sides at once, you use less effort to clean the windows and spend less time.

Magnetic brushes are made of extremely durable material, they are difficult to damage, which makes them highly sought after by customers. In addition, they have many other advantages.

• When using these devices, you can wash not only windows. They can be used one at a time to wash the bathroom mirror or clean the vanity unit.
• They are suitable for cleaning a variety of substrates, including plastics and other coatings.
• The main advantage of the brush is that it makes work several times easier, since when using this device on glasses, simultaneous cleaning is performed on both sides.

• The very idea of ​​a magnetic brush is very simple and straightforward, it is immediately clear how to use it. This is a simple and comfortable thing that you need in your everyday life.
• Increasing the level of safety when cleaning glass is an essential element of cleaning. A powerful magnet helps to do this, holding the brush firmly on the outside of the glass.
• The device is made of durable plastic. It does not corrode or break. Aging is uncharacteristic for him: the operating time of the device is long. The loss of one part is not terrible, since the device is equipped with a safety cable.
• The device is equipped with a brush with strong bristles, if necessary, it can be used to clean other flat surfaces (plastic window sill, window frame). This brush will cope with the task of removing excess dirt.
• The brush is small and does not take up much space in the pantry. Even if there is very little space in the apartment, there is a place for the device.

The types of brushes with magnets are different in the strength of the devices themselves, the characteristic of the thickness of the glass covered by them from 3 to 32 mm. Brushes for washing wide glass units differ from other devices for glass in more powerful magnets.

Such a device is always available in the assortment of any store and does not cost much money. Each person can afford it, having accumulated a little money. Keep in mind that cleaning the windows with a cleaning company with a regular call would cost you a lot.

Now let's look at the cons of magnetic brushes. There are not many of them.

• Not all brushes are suitable for cleaning thick glass or double glazed windows. For such structures, you need to select a device with a stronger magnet.
• The cost of such a device can be very high. Especially if you choose a model designed for washing thick glasses.

The main defect lies in the technical features of the device. Magnetic devices are equipped with magnets of various powers. If the glasses in the apartment are thicker than indicated in the manual, the magnets will not cope and will not be able to firmly fix the two sides of the device. Therefore, the brush may fall off or not hold at all. It is worth knowing exactly the width of the double-glazed windows before purchasing this device.

There are few shortcomings in the functionality of the brush with magnets. It does not handle difficult areas very well. These include the joints and edges of the glass. The same defect is found in robots for washing glasses, devices with similar properties. Their design features simply do not allow cleaning surfaces in such places.

Using a magnetic brush for cleaning windows involves taking into account several nuances. Rinse the windowsill before cleaning the glass. Then take out the parts of the device and separate them by turning them 90 degrees. In this case, the influence of the magnet weakens, so the halves are easily detached from each other.

Wet cleaning surfaces with water or splash window cleaner on them. Then place the halves exactly opposite each other on the inner and outer glass halves. Before doing this, secure the ring with rope to your arm or window handle. Run the brush in your hand over the surface. The second will completely duplicate the movement of the first, washing the glass from the street side.

The technology of using a magnetic brush for cleaning windows is simple, but you need to take into account the nuances.

• Some water or cleaning liquid is sprayed on the glass.
• To stop the attraction of the magnet, the halves are turned towards each other at an angle equal to 90 degrees.
• Washing surfaces are soaked in water and a little glass cleaner (or plain water).
• If the rope has a ring at the end, it is fixed on the handle of the glass unit or on the hand of the cleaner.
• The first half of the brush is leaned against the inner plane, the second (with a cable) - against the outer surface of the glass or glass unit. The magnet will attract them to each other.
• It is necessary to choose a comfortable hand position.
• Wash the surface in the same way as with a simple rag.
• First, they wipe the area near the frame (from the bottom nearest corner), then move up, to the side, down, then to the side to the original position.
• The middle part is processed, moving from top to bottom. With such an algorithm, there will be no traces of liquid on the glass.
• If after the first time the window is not transparent enough, the procedure is carried out again. A detailed algorithm for using the device is indicated in the instructions.

The most suitable trajectory of the device is described in the instructions. To clean windows with high quality, you should follow it. Both halves of the magnetic brush are equipped with a special cloth or sponge that absorbs the detergent and then transfers it to the glass surface. On the other side of the brush is the squeegee, which scoops dirt and water off the glass. When used on an already clean window, the squeegee is used for polishing.
