If your windows have gone from sparkling to smudged due to the autumn wet weather, a dedicated cleaning tool like the Kärcher WV 2 Plus handheld window vacuum cleaner could be your new best friend. It’s not just limited to cleaning windows; it will also help remove moisture from shower doors, mirrors, tiles and, tables, and worktops.
As the name suggests, window vacs have a similar suction to a normal vacuum, though they are designed to suck up water, condensation and cleaning fluids for a streak-free shine. Some models also come with different nozzles to reach narrow corners. The dirty water is then sucked into the machine and collected in a tank. They’re a quicker and easier way to clean windows than exerting yourself with elbow grease using a squeegee or microfiber cloth.
