IWCA 2013 Convention & Trade Show Recap

We are back from the International Window Cleaners Association‘s annual trade show and convention. We got to catch a few cool things in the industry.

Unger has released quite a few items recently and have many other products coming up later this year. Currently available are the new Ninja Microfiber towels. These babies have corner textured pockets and will work great for detailing on an extension pole. They have also introduced an on/off switch for water control on your waterfed poles.

Winsol will be releasing soon a new and improved formula for the APC-100 called APC-120. Should be a better grade of soap for cleaning windows!

We have recently started carrying the Moerman line of window cleaning tools and they introduced at the show a t-bar attachment for abrasive pads. Should help you clean the glass better just by pressing on the pad.

Our booth had tons of giveaways! And we showed off our new machines, the H2Pro line. We also introduced an entry level tank and applicator for softwashing. Currently in prototype stage. We are also very excited to carry a GutterVac for ladderless gutter cleaning! Even sold one at the show. These should come in sometime in March. Get your pre-sale order in soon. A few of you probably have already seen the laddermats and Can Do Gloves in this blog. Also, the Facelift poles were at our booth, a reintroduction back into the market of waterfed poles!

There was a company at the show that sold body harnesses and roof anchors. Those products might be in our extensive collection of products in the new future… Keep an eye out?

A shout out to Glass Renu and Lee Burbidge for visiting us!

For fun, here’s a video of the speed cleaning contest provided by Lee @ Window Cleaning Magazine UK
