Win a Pair of Unger Gloves!

 

For your chance to win text UNGER followed by your name and address to 66777

Just in time for winter, Unger has announced the re-launch of its protective Neoprene gloves range, with an impressive line-up of new features and improvements.

To begin with solid reinforced stitching, as well as a glue seal, have been added along the seams to achieve extra durability and protection against water ingress. Yet the gloves feel soft and comfortable on the inside with the thread on the seams virtually undetectable due to the “blind” stitching technique.

The standard Neoprene version will keep your hands warm and dry, whatever the weather, with added protection against the wind due to adjustable Velcro straps around the wrist. Made of 3mm thick 100% rubber Neoprene, just like the former versions, the new gloves feel more flexible due to the material enhancements.

The premium ErgoTec® version is now loaded with more features than ever. In addition to the Velcro wrist straps and great insulation against cold, the screened-on silicone patch on the palms offer exceptional grip on all tools.

New knuckle inserts and pre-curved fingers enable the gloves to follow the shape of the individual’s hand. Combined with the ultra smooth feel of the 95% Neoprene and 5% Nylon material on the inside, the ErgoTec® gloves provide a natural skin-like feel and fit.

Both standard Neoprene and ErgoTec® gloves now come in 4 sizes – S, L, XL and XXL, and are available from Unger dealers nationwide.

If you fancy trying a pair for yourself, here is a bit of a great news. Unger UK is giving away 5 pairs of the Neoprene Gloves to 5 lucky winners – for your chance to win text UNGER followed by your name and address to 66777. The winner will be drawn on December 16^th, and notified by Unger directly.
Competition is open to UK and ROI residents only.

New HiFlo™ Indoor Window Cleaning System from Unger

The team behind the number one Window Cleaning brand utilised its world class expertise to produce an easy-to-use, one step System for indoor window cleaning. The System is perfect for any user without window cleaning experience and does not require extensive training – just a few practice runs. It also offers safe and quick access for cleaning high level windows, skylights and glass balustrades, with Unger’s best selling telescopic pole.

So, how does it work? The essential component of the Indoor System is a 20cm wide Padholder with a swivel head, featuring Velcro backing. Depending on the level of soiling a user can choose between 2 microfibre pads, attachable to the Padholder with Velcro. The pad with ultrafine, short fibre is ideal for every day cleaning, as well as polishing of glass and mirrors. For periodic washing or heavy soil, Unger provides a more absorbent 15mm microfibre pad. Fit the Padholder with the right pad onto a pole, spray the pad with deionised water and you are ready to go!

Why deionised water? Purified of minerals, deionised water provides a streak free finish, without the need to squeegee or dry the windows, resulting in sparkly clean finish and improved time and labour efficiency. All you need to do is simply wipe the glass or mirror surface until clean and leave to dry on its own.
There are 2 System kits available within the new HiFlo™ Indoor Window Cleaning System. The Starter Kit (RRP £48.70 excl. VAT) is designed for those already in possession of the basic cleaning equipment and consists of the Padholder, 5 Polish Pads and a thread Adapter – which means that the Padholder fits onto any existing Unger pole.

A complete Master Kit (RRP £98.42 excl. VAT) also includes the Unger 2.5m TelePlus™ pole, a Sprayer on the Belt as well as the practical ErgoTec® Belt and Pouch for storing clean Pads.
The System, covered by Unger’s 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee, simplifies the cleaning process for indoor windows and other fixtures, saving time and money with improved safety.

It’s all in the details…

This video demonstrates the use of a few various techniques but the main thing it shows is that you don’t need to whizz around like superman to work quickly. Being methodical and being efficient with the way you do the job is what gets real jobs done quickly. This job is a weekly job (the lower windows where the plant pot holders are monthly thankfully!) I’m using a Wagtail orbital squeegee, an Ettore swivel T-bar with an Unger sleeve, an Unger extension pole and a microfibre cloth for the detailing.
