Blue Monday?

Whats all this about Blue Monday, apparently a couple of years ago someone took a poll of tweets and found there were loads of moaners on the 3rd monday in January, not here! @Window Cleaning Warehouse we're all smiles! I couldn't wait to get back to work, as far as I'm concerned Blue Monday is is that mega long dance track commencing with a distinctive semiquaver drum intro, probably programmed into an Oberheim DMX Drum machine by New Order! 
Ping! Ker-ching! another new order for our terrific Renegade pole offer coming in on the web!
Along with New Order, do not forget the Legendary Bronski Beat.....sorry getting distracted.

Anyway Saturday was quiet, spent the morning in the office, feet up, boning up on Willie Erkens latest Wagtail tools, like to keep upto speed, and Wagtail are the fastest tools out there and we're expecting a delivery of Jetstream this week...

If you got time, I've got plenty, check out the AquaTap, shuts of your water flow with a slight twist of the brush.. Top product.

Anyway, I'me here all week for your questions.. #AskBeef

#AskBeef to the numpty that asked "How long is a 14" rubber?" The answer is.....$2.99

WagTail Pivot Control

Guys n Gals (probably mostly guys reading this!) just been asked the question #AskBeef "Whats the difference between the Wagtail Pivot Control (PC) Squeegee and a standard Wagtail squeegee, both seem very similar?Good question.... Main difference is :The new wagtail PC places the control disc above the squeegee, allowing for the force vectors of the squeegee to be placed at their most optimal position. It has adjustable pivot ranges to clean at your desired angle. The nylon collet reducing the pivot bearing resistance and the controlled pivot can prevent any wayward pivoting at extreme heights. These are just a few of the benefits you will experience with the PC.Thanks for the question! See you tommorow!

Now to the serious WC Question of the Day!

Whats the best Hard or Soft Squeegee rubber?

Well, apart from personal preference, there are a couple of factors to consider. Soft rubber is more flexible and therefore works better at colder temperatures when harder rubber can become very stiff and almost "bounce" on the glass.
Soft rubber will also adapt better to sight uneveness on glass surfaces.
That said, the reverse is also true, Hard rubber works best in warmer temperatures when soft rubber can become too flexible, and when you do not have the most delicate of touches, ie hands the size of a shovel, like me.

So be like rubber, flexible! Use the right rubber for the job, and maybe vary from summer to winter.

A couple of tips, Ettore Master Rubber is probably one of the softest compounds.
Here at WCW FaceLIft RazrBLADE RED Rubber sells extremely well and is a medium compound.

Rubber compounds are measured in shore hardness, for instance Unger SOFT rubber has a shore hardness of 53 +/- 2 Unger HARD rubber has a shore hardness of 60 +/- 2
