How to choose a magnetic brush for washing windows?

Every hostess dreams to have clean windows in her house. To achieve crystal purity, many are accustomed to using home-made devices, soapy water, a rag, and crumpled paper. In this way, you can easily clean the window from the inside, but from the outside it is often simply impossible to do it, especially if you live, for example, on the 6th floor of an apartment building. While living on the top floor, you will most likely be able to wash the window from the street side only partially, otherwise there will be a threat to fall from the window. Reaching with your hands to the edge of the window from the outside without special equipment is simply not possible.

Today, to make the windows clean, special magnetic brushes have been invented, with the help of which one can easily and quickly clean up any dirt on the windows.

This magnetic device consists of two brushes in a set, which are equipped with cleaning elements on the magnets. Each of them has a plastic case on one side and a cleaning sponge on the other. One of the brushes is also additionally equipped with a convenient handle. Inside each brush is hidden a strong magnet that attracts them to each other. A rubber scraper is provided along the edge of the device, thanks to which you can easily get rid of the residual moisture on the surface of the window and further polish it.

To clean the windows, the magnetic brush is divided, one element is set outside the window, the second is installed on the inside of the window. When moving one of the brushes, the second one will move along the same trajectory. In order to avoid accidental dropping of an element that is outside, the brushes are connected to each other with a cord of sufficient length. Additionally, the cord may have a ring that can be attached to the handle of the glass unit or on the wrist.

The cleaning element of the brushes can be varied. As a rule, it is felt or foam rubber.

Magnetic devices are suitable for washing ordinary windows and double-glazed windows of various thicknesses up to 40 mm thick.

The main advantages of such a device include the following:

• Reducing time and facilitating the process of washing windows, because the magnetic brush allows you to do it on the one hand, and on the other, it washes automatically.
• Guaranteed security. Especially this item is relevant for those living on the second and higher floors.
• The device allows you to wash even the most persistent pollution with one time, without making much effort.
• As part of the device there are also polishing plates that will provide high-quality polishing of the window after cleaning.
• Thanks to high-quality cleaning material, you can save on the use of additional detergents.

Magnetic brushes may differ from each other in the power of the built-in magnet. The ability of the brush to wash windows of different thickness depends on it. According to this indicator, they are divided into:

• balcony, whose thickness is up to 6 mm;
• single-chamber, the thickness of which is up to 25 mm;
• two-chamber thickness of 30 mm and above.

When purchasing a magnetic brush, pay attention to the characteristics of the device. Each brush shows the thickness of the windows for washing which it is intended. Thus, a brush designed for washing windows with a thickness of 6 mm is suitable for ordinary single balcony windows, old-style windows or shop windows, but not suitable for two-chamber glass units.The power of the magnet in such brushes is insufficient for the thickness of the glasses over 6 mm.

To be able to wash the glass unit, you should choose a device of another type, the magnet of which has more power. Usually on the brush marking it is indicated that the device is suitable for washing single-chamber double-glazed windows with a thickness of not more than 25 mm. Such brushes are also suitable for washing windows of smaller thickness (from 15 mm). It is also easy to clean armored glass and glass floors. But to wash with such a device the usual thin glass of the old sample is not recommended.

For washing windows with a thickness of more than 30 mm, a special type of magnetic device is used. These brushes are also suitable for washing windows with a smaller thickness - about 22-29 mm. With their help, you can wash the roof of glass.

The disadvantages of such a magnetic device can only be attributed to a fairly high cost. The stronger the power of the brush magnet, the higher its price will be.

The price category of magnetic devices is quite wide. When choosing a brush, you need to have an accurate idea of ​​the thickness of your windows. It is worth being prepared for the fact that not every household store sells such a device. Sometimes it is much easier and faster to find it in the online store. In order for the brush to work properly and smoothly, you need to choose a model that is suitable for the thickness of your windows. If you accidentally choose a brush with the power that is not required for your window, it simply will not cope with its work. More information about the conformity of the thickness of the windows and the required power was mentioned in the section “Views”.

For example, if the glass of your window is thin, then the simplest and most inexpensive model will be sufficient for high-quality cleaning. For a showcase glass or door, you will need a stronger magnet. If the glass thickness is more than 4 cm, then for such a glass unit you will need a device with reinforced magnets. The cost of such brushes is the highest, but it is justified. The standard set of brushes on magnets includes:

• two brushes with sponges and elastic bands;
• two spare brushes;
• two additional gum, if it is a brush for cleaning exactly the glass.

In the Russian market, the price of electromagnetic brushes varies in the range of 1500-5000 rubles. You can choose for yourself a model for double-glazed windows, and for ordinary glasses. In order to make your choice to meet your expectations, it makes sense to focus on the price, manufacturer, specifications and reviews about the device. Below is an overview of the main models.

One of the weighty advantages of brushes on a magnet is that when using them there is no need to additionally use detergents for glasses.

If the window has a strong degree of contamination, it is recommended to apply additional liquid detergents or add soap to the water.

From the first time it may not be possible to use a double-sided device, but do not despair, you need to “get a little hand”. After you adapt, you will definitely like this method of window cleaning.

Starting to clean the glass, first wash the profile and the surface of the sill. After that, take the brushes and, by turning one of them 90 degrees, separate them. When turning the magnet is reduced and the brushes are easily separated. Process the work surface with warm water, and then place the brushes at the same time opposite each other on opposite sides of the glass.

The cord connecting the two halves can be additionally attached to the wrist or window handle. After the magnets have connected, run the brush on the window surface in random order, holding the handle it has. The second brush, located outside, will exactly repeat this trajectory, clearing the street side of the window.
