All three devices can be used to clean windows, but in order not to spoil the glass units, you need to follow the instructions.

Instructions for use

The manual wiper is very easy to use. Its principle of operation is similar to that of a vacuum cleaner. The main function of the machine is to suck up dirty liquid from the surface.

Step by step instructions for use:
