when you pull the larger Squeegees 48 inches up to78 inches offset the handle 2 inches higher so the upper portion of the channel is a little bit shorter that way the top portion will lead and the bottom portion will follow. regarding the 36 inch when you getting used to it a 18 inch seems no bigger than a toothpick.

if you can remove 100% more water every time you move your squeegee you clearly get more work done, regarding the handle you can apply a drop of crazy glue where it swivel and you have a fixed handle, be sure you have Sorbo Glide in your water to prevent drag,

You can see that the area on the right bottom has an inch or more water. But Sorbo always cleans his edges with a huck, so I know he was just showing squeegee quickness. He's alway short and to the point. No fluff and no extra movements. Very practical.

I agree that the 18 inch (45CM) is the workhorse of the industry. Not too much drag and yet covers a fairly big swipe. I would say the same for the 14 inch stipper (washing sleeve) Anything bigger gets you wet using a side bucket (holster) and any bigger becomes heavy at the end of the day, especially on a long pole. I now use the red and white sleeves because the aren't as heavy and get bugs off better. But they need replaced every few months as they wear and mat faster than most.

I dry the top edge and my pull edge with a cloth first. I don't like the time it takes but I don't have any streaks on the edges.

@peterpetersnbg quicker was the wrong word i meant or should have said the 90 cm is good for windows over 1m²... and actually i suppose after getting used to it it obviously would slice through work when you have rows of glass where its needed plus you wont have to bend over so much.. so its a worthwhile tool to have for every serious window cleaner

@sorboproducts no disrespect intended Samuel.. personally i think your squeegees are the the best on the market.. they are true (straight ) and get the job done quicker .. leave less water on the glass and feel better in the hand... after using the Sorbo 45 cm for two years now. i quickly tried the unger 35 cm.. and didnt like it it at all... the Sorbo 45 cm is the best workhorse squeegee on the market IMO.. thats the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth

[peterpetersnbg]

its debatable wether its quicker than a 18 inch... i have the sorbo 90 cm and have found thats its only really good on big windows and lots of them.. for just one window its not worth the hassle dragging it around .. because your hands are full of buckets and and all the rest...plus the handle onthe 90 cm should be a fixed handle and not a swivel handle.. ive found with a bit of drag (dry glass ) the swivel handle "swivels " and then you have to start again

Is there a way to prevent it from streaking at the bottom right of the window? If there is, that would be a huge time saver for sure !
