Modern household appliances do not stand still. Even well-known and familiar products are gradually being replaced by new products, which increase the user's comfort in everything and the productivity of the housewife’s activities. For the same purpose, a magnetic device for washing windows from two sides was invented several years ago. This device is designed for quick and easy cleaning of windows.
Magnetic brush cleans from the outside and inside. By this she significantly saves the time of the housewife and eliminates the possibility of falling. However, the choice of products is not so simple: you need to know the features of the brush, its varieties and the nuances of use.
Features
The brush is made of strong plastic. Externally, it is a system of two halves, which are washed windows simultaneously on both sides. At the heart of each of them is a special magnet. Because of it, the part fixed in the hands restrains the second part, which is located on the outside of the window.
In order to increase security, the external brush is equipped with a rope with a ring. It can be fixed to eliminate the risk of falling.
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 necessary for the outer one. The cleansing area is covered with softened substances, usually foam or felt. At wear of material there is no need for complete replacement of the product. The store just buy a new sponge.
Along the edge is a rubber band (scraper), removing the remaining liquid. She leaves no divorce, polishes the glass. Washing time when using the device is reduced at least twice. During the cleaning of the windows, both parts move synchronously: the second moves past the first, clearing the second surface.
So that the second part does not fall 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, which is attached to a window handle or a cleaning hand. Double-sided cleaning brush has only positive customer reviews.
Kinds
Today on the market for such products are many such products. They may be intended for:
- washing glass with a thickness of 5–6 mm;
- single-chamber double glazing 16–24 mm;
- two-chamber structures up to 34 mm thick.
At the same time it is important to provide a certain feature. It seems that if you purchase a product for two-chamber double-glazed windows, in which the most powerful magnets are inserted, then it can wash not only the window, but also balcony windows. 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 device.
The type of glass unit for which the device is intended is indicated on the packaging. If there is no such information, it is worth checking with the seller. Many are interested in exactly how the windows are cleaned from two sides. The bucket is filled with clean water, with strong contamination of the glass there is added detergent. Thanks to a special design, cleaning occurs immediately after wetting the surface of the windows.
Before cleaning, parts of the fixture must be disconnected. To do this, they rotate 90 degrees relative to each other. Both parts are lowered into the bucket, and then fixed to the glass on both sides of the glass on the same level.They put a safety ring on the arm and begin to wash the window from the corners of the structure, gradually moving towards its center.
Part of the magnetic brush, which is located on the outside of the glass, repeats all the movements of the first half. The procedure of double-sided washing of panoramic glasses is started from above, so that streams of polluted water do not flood the washed glass.
