My indoor kit

This is my Indoor Cleaning Kit. It consists of the Unger Deluxe Stingray 10’, and the previous Unger Indoor Cleaning Kit. I can fit it all in the Stingray bag and set to pull out a professional looking kit in the customers home without the need for a ladder, (except those crazy condo’s with the open to the third floor ceilings!).

How do you like the stingray? In your opinion, is it a good investment?

I do like it. It saved me from having to squeeze my extension ladder into the condo.

There is a slight learning curve to it, but I am happy that I bought it!

I bought extra pads for it because they can get dirty fast, and if they get too saturated you leave the glass wet. With more experience with it that shouldn’t be a problem.

As a back up I have my old Unger Indoor Kit with the spray bottle in the bag. Works great too, but also a learning curve to it.

Have you used it on large mirrors? Were the results satisfactory? I just picked up an account with mirrors around the perimeter of the store at six plus foot height. I’m currently using a doodlebug on a pole with microfiber cloths and sprayway. They look awesome when I’m done, but it’s not quick.

I have not used it on mirrors yet but I imagine it would work great. I usually use Sprayway on mirrors, but tall ones the Stingray seems ideal.

I do about 5 large gyms and fitness centers. I do their mirrors just like glass - scrubber and squeegees. I have to be careful with mirror edges and seams to make sure not to nick the rubber.

My concern with mirrors is water getting trapped between the glass and the mirror backing. I have seen edges of mirrors that had water staining. Don’t want to get blamed on that one.

The gym that I just started is having an entire wall of mirrors replaced due to the staining. The mirror company said it had something to do with the original adhesive. Maybe that is what the staining is from?

Yeah this account had a cheesy aluminum trim surrounding the edge. Hard to get a squeegee that accurate. Seems that on mirrors that are under constant bright lighting every mistake is magnified a thousandfold.

This one thousand times!

Hope that it is, or else be the one to replace. :-/

Well, I just started the job, and they have no indication of having been cleaned at all. But you can see the pattern in all of them that was from the adhesive. As to why or what caused it, I have no earthly idea. I would have thought the original installers would have known how to avoid his.

If they’ve never been cleaned your probably seeing remnants of adhesive from buttons that manufacturers use to space the glass when they stack them. A wet microfiber and a little elbow grease will get it off. Get ready for the squeaks.
