High-Rise Window Cleaning Tools: Squeegee Replacement Rubber

Video Transcript

My name is Jason. I'm with Hi-tech Window Cleaning. And in this segment, I'm going to show you the different types of rubber that go into the squeegees, what's available. The first one I have goes in the Sorbo squeegees. It pretty much only goes in the Sorbo squeegees. It's a good rubber. You can trim it down. There's an actual cutter you can buy for about $250 that will actually trim the rubber down. You can use it over and over and keep trimming it. We don't do that, because it doesn't leave as fine of an edge as it does when it's brand new. So we choose just to get a new piece of rubber every time we need to change it. You can trim the ends, because they do, of course, wear out quicker. And they round. You can just trim them down. And that's for the Sorbo squeegee. The other type of rubber is for a Tory. And it also goes in other squeegees, as well. It's a little bit thicker of a rubber, a little bit more durable. And it will hold it's edge a little bit longer. This, again, you can trim the ends, but they don't make a cutter for the edge. Each piece of rubber costs about $3. So it's not exactly cheap. But to do good quality window cleaning, you have to replace this, depending on what kind of windows you do and the stuff you're taking off, we change it about every day if not every other day.
