About Window Vacs & Accessories

Choosing The Right Window Vacs & Accessories

When selecting window vacs and accessories from MyToolShed.co.uk, consider these key factors:

Battery runtime: Professional users should prioritise models offering 30+ minutes of continuous operation. Check whether batteries are replaceable or integrated, and consider purchasing spare batteries for extended cleaning sessions.

Blade width: Wider blades (280-300mm) cover large windows more quickly, whilst narrower blades suit smaller panes and confined spaces. Many professionals benefit from having multiple blade sizes available.

Tank capacity: Larger dirty water tanks reduce the frequency of emptying during extensive cleaning jobs. Transparent tanks allow easy monitoring of fill levels.

Extension accessories: Telescopic poles and extension handles are essential for reaching high windows, conservatory roofs, and skylights safely from ground level, reducing the need for ladders.

Spray bottles and cleaning solutions: Purpose-designed spray bottles ensure even application of cleaning solution, whilst quality detergents enhance cleaning performance and prevent streaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can window vacs be used on outdoor windows?

Yes, window vacs are ideal for both interior and exterior windows. Their cordless, battery-powered operation makes them particularly convenient for outdoor use where 240v mains power isn't readily accessible. They work effectively in most weather conditions, though extreme cold may reduce battery performance.

How do I prevent streaking when using a window vac?

Ensure the rubber blade is clean and undamaged, apply cleaning solution evenly, and work in overlapping vertical or horizontal strokes. Always keep the blade in contact with the glass and maintain steady speed. MyToolShed stocks replacement blades to maintain optimal performance.

What maintenance do window vacs require?

Empty and rinse the dirty water tank after each use, clean the rubber blade regularly, and recharge batteries according to manufacturer guidelines. Replace worn blades promptly and check suction ports remain clear of debris for consistent performance.
