What types of window cleaning extension poles does Ettore sell?

Ettore sells four types of window cleaning extension poles built to reach indoor and outdoor windows with ease. Which pole is right for the job you have in mind? Take a look at their lineup and decide which one is right for you:

  • Ettore REA-C-H Extension Pole: The REA-C-H pole comes in four distinct sections, giving you greater contact with those hard-to-reach windows. External locking collars allow you to extend and collapse this pole to its full length. The Ettore Pro+ Pole Tip snaps onto your tools to lock them in place while you work. A comfortable ergonomic handle made of anodized gold aluminum sits at the base of the pole, making it both strong and light.
  • Ettore InterLock Pole 2 Section: The Ettore InterLock Poles are great for smooth finishes and ease of use. They're different from the Ettore REA-C-H poles because they utilize an internal locking mechanism, not the traditional cone and clamp. The click lock tip makes changing tools quick and easy, while the comfortably designed handle helps extend your reach.
  • Ettore Consumer Grade REA-C-H Pole 2 Section-4 Foot: Providing an extension for high-reach cleaning needs, this pole is compatible with a variety of cleaning tools. Please note: a cone tip is required to ensure compatibility with your cleaning tools. This pole section is fantastic for the beginner window cleaner or the homeowner who just wants some extra reach to make their home sparkle.
  • Ettore Utility Pole - 60 Inch: This 60-Inch Utility Pole from Ettore is one solid piece. They are lightweight, versatile, and great for use on floors or with window squeegees to get a little extra reach. Choose either the threaded or tapered tip to match your current selection of tools.

What Length Pole Should I Use for What Jobs?

Ettore offers a variety of telescopic poles to help you clean those hard-to-reach windows. However, deciding which pole to use for the job depends on the property you’re working:

  • Residential windows: If you work residential properties, then you’ll be relying on your squeegee for most ground-level windows, no extensions necessary. However, when it comes to second-story windows, the Ettore REA-C-H Extension Pole will give you the added range you need. With 3-sections of this pole alone, you can reach up to 18 ft in length. That’s well above the average coverage you need to clean second-story windows!
  • Basic indoor cleaning: The 4-foot Ettore Consumer Grade REA-C-H Pole is ideal for the beginner window cleaner looking for a little extra reach to make their home sparkle. Made from durable aluminum, all it requires is a cone tip to be able to squeegee windows, scrape away debris, or even clear out some unsightly cobwebs. This tool is everything you need to accomplish indoor cleaning without having to unnecessarily switch between a slew of tools to get the job done. 
  • Commercial and storefront windows: With most commercial and storefront properties having both wider and taller windows, you’ll need an Ettore extension pole with reach! With the option to add sections, the Ettore REA-C-H Extension Pole reaches a maximum of 24 feet in length. Plus, because this pole utilizes the power of the Ettore Pro+ Pole Tip, you can snap on a squeegee, a T-bar, or even a scraper to tackle every task necessary!

Lastly, select a pole that reaches a few feet beyond your tallest target window. This way, you’ll always be able to cover any window, no matter the circumstance. Regardless of the Ettore extension pole you select, know that every pole grants you greater flexibility without sacrificing rigidity!

Is a Telescopic or Trad/Modular Pole Better, and Which Should I Get?

First, it’s good to understand the difference between a Telescopic pole and Modular pole. While both consist of multiple sliding sections that extend out and lock into place, a Telescopic pole is purposely designed with many more sections in place to tackle bigger jobs. Telescopic poles collapse into themselves for fast, compact height adjustments. This design is found most commonly on water-fed poles. This design is especially beneficial for those who work skyscrapers or on college campuses. Typically made from a balance of High Modulus Carbon Fiber and aluminum, Ettore’s professional-grade telescopic and water-fed poles are best suited for major commercial building jobs. These poles include:

Modular poles require manually adding or removing stackable sections, which takes more time but results in a significantly lighter, customized setup. This is preferred by pros who frequent residential homes or commercial storefronts because they’re lighter and less physically demanding while still offering rigidity when fully extended. The XERO Trad pole and the Maykker Mini Extension Pole 2.0 are popular Modular poles beloved by window cleaners for their adaptability and strength. 

Which one you choose should depend on the jobs you commonly face on your daily route. While most seasoned window cleaners have a variety of jobs they face, including commercial and residential, newbies may consider modular poles to start with, as they cover a good deal of tasks faced on residential windows. 

Ettore Pole and Squeegee on Glass

What attachments do I need to use an Ettore Extension Pole?

No Ettore extension pole is complete without a series of interchangeable tools. The tools we highly recommend pairing with your extension pole include:

  • A Complete Squeegee: Where would any window cleaner be without their trusty squeegee? Ettore offers a wide range of squeegees to choose from that lock onto the Pro+ Pole Tip with ease. Each comes with a fresh rubber, personally hand-inspected for quality by Ettore themselves. The Ettore Complete Pro+ Super System Super Squeegee is celebrated by window cleaners for its durability and the streak-free shine it leaves behind on glass. Get a look at the top three squeegees window cleaners love from Ettore, and be assured that no matter which squeegee you choose, you’re getting a high-quality tool! 
  • A Complete T-bar and Scrubber: A complete T-bar allows you to soap up windows and scrub down stubborn grime. Simply slide onto your pole tip, and get scrubbing windows both high and low! Plus, when needed, you can simply attach an abrasive like a walnut pad scrubber over top to put the pressure on, especially stubborn stains, sticky situations, and debris. Window cleaners especially love the Golden Glove for its ability to hold water like no other stripwasher!
  • Scraper: Scrapers are your friend when it comes to removing vinyl, stickers, sap, and other stuck-on grime. Simply attach any Ettore scraper of choice onto the pole tip and scrape away stains of all sorts within seconds! The Ettore Pro+ Contour Scraper is beloved for its ability to scrape with the same power as competitive brands, yet for half the price! What if you have something other than an Ettore Pro+ Pole tip? Not sure if an Ettore scraper will work on the Pole Tip you’re using? Watch this video and see all the Pole Tips Ettore fits, no matter the brand!
  • BONUS - A towel: No attachments are needed for an Ettore brand MicroSwipe towel. Simply wrap one around an extension pole tip to catch drips from great heights! We highly suggested that you stock up on a couple of towels to catch drips and dry up corners.

What Safety and Maintenance tips should be taken to use and maintain an Ettore Pole?

Ettore Poles will last you for years to come, if you handle it with care. So take these precautions on and off the job site to protect your gear as well as you and your team:

  • Don’t overextend an extension pole: To save your stamina and preserve your strength, only use the exact length you need to clean a window. It’s never a good idea to overextend your pole, as it could bring you harm and even unintentionally damage the pole or your customer’s property. Following proper technique reduces repetitive strain or injuries on your wrists, shoulders, back, and more.
  • Don’t use an extension pole in bad weather conditions: During bad rainstorms with the threat of lightning, it’s never a good idea to use Extension poles of any kind. It’s best to seek shelter or come back to a job another day when the weather is safer for you and your employees. It’s also best to avoid using an Ettore Extension Pole in high winds. Bracing winds can cause you to lose control of your extension pole, causing accidents or unnecessary strains on the body. 
  • Watch for power lines: Never use an Extension Pole anywhere near power lines. It’s also best to check the property beforehand for any signs of electrical lines or wiring on the building that could potentially interfere with pole work. For a complete safety outline, follow these safety steps before starting work of any kind with a telescopic pole. And check out this video on more life-saving tips regarding electrical hazards!
  • Properly clean and store your pole: When you’re done using your extension pole, be sure to wipe it clean of any possible debris. Then securely store it in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight. Avoid tossing, throwing, or carelessly abusing your pole, as this will shorten the life of your pole and therefore be a waste of your investment. Take care of your tools, and they will take care of you!
