There are many window cleaning devices on the market that make the job much easier. And while it’s easy to wash the inside of the glass, it’s extremely difficult to clean the outside. Of course, you can take a regular mop and a clean rag, but this will be inconvenient and dangerous.
It is much safer and easier to use the new devices that the market provides. There are dozens of them - every buyer will find something that suits him. A list of the top best products with their technical characteristics is provided below.
Analysis of market leaders in the window cleaning device category
All mops for washing windows can be divided into two groups:
- Simple or standard. These are ordinary mops with a soft attachment and, most often, a non-adjustable handle. Working with them is inconvenient and dangerous, especially at height. Such devices do not have any additional functions that would help with cleaning.
- Professional devices for cleaning windows. Such tools are much more popular and convenient. The best of them are magnetic, steam and telescopic window squeegees.
- Magnetic brush. This interesting device consists of two brushes with magnets built inside.Thanks to this, the glass can be washed from both sides at once, and the brushes move synchronously. This brush also has a convenient holder – a ring with a cord.
- Steam Mop. This is a versatile and innovative model that uses only water and pressure for cleaning. The device can be used to wash not only windows, but also any surfaces in the house. The water is heated in a small tank, and the released steam passes through filtration into the nozzle.
- Telescopic mop. The model is convenient because its handle can move apart and bend to the side. A similar mechanism with a long stick allows you to wash windows on both sides, even if they are very high.

Alexey – Leifheit Hausrein mop
“Good mop. I've been using it for 6 months since purchase. Satisfied. One of the best. Just take European production, Chinese ones last less time, and European ones, well, at least 5 years with regular use.”
Nikolai - glass breaker Lyubasha
“Quality assembled. There is a soft part under the arm so as not to hold on to the tube. Smooth soft elastic band. I sometimes had the main part unscrewed from the handle when I pressed hard on the drive with the stick extended to its maximum. Dropped some glue. If you don’t need to climb out of a 13th floor window and wipe the adjacent huge sash, then you won’t encounter the problem of unscrewing. I recommend.The elastic is good (even and moderately soft), the water is removed perfectly.”
Tatyana – Master Fresh model
“The window washer is good, the sponge is excellent, but the rubber band of the water sump is hard and does not remove water well. Everything arrived intact. Overall good, except for the water catchment.”
