All Things J. Racenstein and Window Cleaning

Take a look at this article for a rally in Minneapolis, back in April 2010.  The article talked about employers not providing workers enough safety, such as old ropes.

Read the article here: [Window Cleaners: Just one slip away from tragedy]

A recent death rallied up other window cleaners and their families to make a stand.  As you read the article, the description of how one wrong move or a piece of equipment that isn’t stable can put your life at risk is a tad bit terrifying.

Look at the diagram to  see how you should have your equipment.

Have you ever slipped and saw death flash before your eyes for 2 seconds? Hopefully that has not been the case.

Check out the ropes we offer to help keep you safe and eating dinner with your family every night.

Well after about 2 weeks, turns out, the window cleaners in Service Employees International Union Local 26 ended up receiving better safety standards, union controlled Taft-Hartley training fund, $3 wage raise over 5 years and increases to the pension fund. Not too shabby.

Way to go guys!

For more information on safety, visit the IWCA website.

You might say they have been here right?  Well we are very excited about the new Swift line that will be in stock very soon.  They have totally re-designed the clamping system to be much more user friendly.  It is lighter than its previous counterparts and although I haven’t actually held it, the word on the street is that it has a very nice feel to it as well.

The 65′ Ionic pole was unmatched previously in its class price wise and reach.  Now they went and made it better!!!!!!!!!!!  I doubt we will be able to keep them in stock.

So call 1(800) 221-3748 or go to www.JRacenstein.com and get yours today!

Had a chance today to put some water on glass the old fashion way.   My blood runs gold and black [Ettore] as that is the way I was trained many years ago.

However, I pulled out a new
18″ 3 Star Blue Sleeve and went to work.  I must say that the construction of these sleeves is second to none and the water that the sleeve holds is wonderful.  The sewn in scrubbers in both ends is a nice feature.

All and all a great product that I would recommend to anyone.

I know many have wondered what I was talking about when I said we had a new cart.

Here it is the 3 Star RO/DI

Why arent you Water Fed Poling again???????

You guys that answered Daytona.  You are correct.  Ricardo Bartlett was definately the furthest away.  Ricardo we will send you out a free Triumph scraper.
