Have you thought about big ticket purchases to invest in your company? What may seem expensive at first may just help you to save time and make more money. If anything, some of the big ticket items are worth it for the convenience alone. Our team at Detroit Sponge learns about the top products in the industry and wants to share their knowledge with you. Two items we promote to our customers are the Gardiner Backpack and IPC Eagle Screen Washer. Both products were designed to make the life of a window cleaner easier.

Gardiner Backpack:

Do you ever need to do Pure Water cleaning somewhere there’s not a convenient water source? The Gardiner Backpack may be the answer! This backpack is Version 3 and Gardiner’s most popular and reliable backpack to date. It is the perfect complement to a van-mounted system and ideal for difficult to access areas.

The Gardiner Backpack can be a versatile tool for purified water transportation. The backpack does not filtrate the water but it can be filled with distilled water or from your purified water system. It’s ideal for areas that do not have a convenient water source. Whether it’s for courtyards, or to have a secondary worker to use for additional waterfed assistance, or maybe just for those occasional windows that are hard to reach.

It runs on a 12volt rechargeable battery that when fully charged will give you roughly 8 hours of working time. It can be worn as a backpack but most find it best to strap onto a dolly for easier transportation. There are 2 settings for flow control. Setting 1 allows you to control the water flow to your exact liking. Typically, the lowest setting is plenty of water pressure to get the job done. Setting 2 allows full water pressure without the ability to adjust the water flow. This setting could be used if you filled the unit with tap water and wanted to do a prewash and remove a layer of dirt before using purified water. Watch Gardiner’s unpacking video on YouTube.

Either way, this unit has no problem delivering great water flow beyond 50-feet. Our Gardiner Backpack comes complete with battery and fittings to directly connect to your pole hose (8mm outer diameter).

IPC Eagle Screen Washer:

Looking to up the ante on screen cleaning as well as presenting your customers with the industries best screen cleaning tool? Look no further than the IPC Eagle Screen Cleaner. This durable and portable system is easy to set up and use.

Often times you run the risk of damaging fragile screens with the traditional method of screen cleaning. With the IPC Eagle Screen Cleaner this essentially eliminates that risk as well as being able to effectively clean both sides of the screen, and the frame in one fluid motion.

Simply slide the screen through the bristles as the water flows through giving you that deep screen clean, no soap is needed. Comes equipped with a foot pedal which allows you to control the water flow hands free.

The IPC Eagle Screen Washer is a portable, professionally designed tool that provides a quick and easy method for cleaning screens. It uses only tap water as the cleaning solution, no chemicals needed. Thoroughly cleans the entire screen and frame, all at once. Virtually eliminates screen damage by cleaning both sides of the screen at the same time.

Most window cleaners will run the screen through the washer and shake out the water and quickly wipe the frame with a rag, it is that simple.

Add this to your cleaning repertoire and you, and your customers won’t be disappointed with the outcome.
