Today in stores you can find a very wide range of cleaning tools. In order not to get confused in all this diversity, you need to study the features of all varieties of such mops.

In stores, you can often find standard mops for cleaning windows. Usually this is just a device with a long handle and a soft nozzle. Such a tool, of course, is convenient to use, but it will not work thoroughly and safely when using it. Such simple household tools, as a rule, are not equipped with additional functions and capabilities.

Professional cleaning equipment is significantly different from the usual one. It can be a tool with a wringer, a sprayer, a sliding handle, and other built-in features and fixtures. The most popular types of this cleaning tool are steam, telescopic and magnetic mops. In order to understand what each of them is capable of, it is necessary to familiarize yourself in detail with the characteristics of each option.

A telescopic mop is a tool that is equipped with a special handle with a lock. This allows you to easily change the angle of the nozzle itself, if necessary, which is very convenient. With such a product, you can easily wash glass from both sides, even if their height reaches 3 meters. Thanks to the special handle, washing windows from the outside will no longer be such a problem as before.

Usually such models have several nozzles. One of them is necessarily made of microfiber, which makes it easy to clean using glass cleaner, and the other nozzle is a kind of blade made of rubber or silicone. With it, you can easily remove the remnants of detergent, remove stains and excess moisture.

The steam model is a real professional tool that does its job perfectly. This model allows you to wash glass with steam. At the same time, you will be able to independently regulate not only the temperature, but also the intensity of the supply of the steam itself. With such a mop, it will be possible to wash not only windows, but also tiles in the kitchen or bathroom, and even carpet.

The model that cleans the dirty surface of windows with steam does its job flawlessly. Dirt and dust are easily removed from the glass surface, the surface is disinfected, and a special nozzle with a short nap prevents stains from remaining on the window.

Another option for cleaning is a magnetic model, which is equipped with special cleaning brushes, at the base of which there is a magnet. With this tool, it is easy to wash glass from both sides at once. The fact is that two brushes are located on both sides of the glass itself and are attracted to each other with the help of a magnet. Of course, this option requires some skill and experience. But if you approach the process with skill, then the windows will shine with a sparkle of cleanliness in a short time.

Using a steam mop is easy, and it does not require any special skills and abilities. First you will need to pour the required amount of water into a special tank, then you should set the desired temperature. It is definitely recommended to study the instructions, since each type of cleaning must have its own specific temperature and steam supply level.For example, heavy soiling requires a high temperature and a higher level of steam supply than normal dust. After the cleaning is completed, the water must be drained without fail, and the tank with the nozzle should be thoroughly rinsed and dried.

The telescopic model is also simple and easy to use. First you need to adjust the length of the handle, taking into account your height and where you will wash the windows - outside or inside. During the cleaning process, you can easily change the angle of the nozzle direction, which makes it easy to clean the glass from the outside, even when you are inside the house. The nozzle, which is made of microfiber, is recommended to be thoroughly rinsed with detergent after cleaning and dried.

Using the magnetic model is a little more difficult. To begin with, a special detergent is applied to both sides of the window. Next, you need to open the brushes and moisten them in detergent, after which they are attached to both sides of the glass. Thanks to the magnets, the brushes will hold tightly, and you can easily clean both sides of the window at once, operating with one brush.

For safety, the model is equipped with a special fishing line that is attached to the brushes, and which you will need to put on your hand. After cleaning, the brushes should be rinsed with clean water and dried.
