The Wagtail™ Story—Cleaning up Down Under and Everywhere Else!
One day in Australia, a professional window cleaner named Willie Erken was struck by the thought that leads to all great inventions—there’s got to be a better way to do this.
Traditionally, professional window cleaning was based on the use of a washing strip to clean the window and a squeegee to remove the water from the window. These implements have a fixed relationship between the handle and the head (washing strip or squeegee) that causes:
- High levels of arm and shoulder strain due to poor ergonomic design
- Difficulties in cleaning awkward, high, small or elongated windows
Willie Erken realized there was a need to re-design window-cleaning tools to create something that was:
- Easier to use for the professional and novice cleaner
- Lighter and stronger
- More efficient and faster
- Ergonomically designed to reduce muscle strain injury
We do “Do Windows” …and floors and walls and…
As a result, the idea of building tools based around the pivot system was born—and, with it, the Wagtail™ Cleaning Tools company.
But the biggest breakthrough was yet to come.
After much experimentation, it was found that using squeegee technology on floors, tables, and walls produced results vastly superior to traditional cleaning methods.
With the introduction of micro-fibre, the world was introduced to a whole new level of clean. It’s no exaggeration to say that the cleaning industry was advanced light years with the introduction of micro-fibre. Here’s why:
Each Micro-fibre starts out 20 times finer than a human hair and then each micro-fibre is split—creating thousands of little hooks that can grab and hold onto dirt, grime and grease at microscopic levels.
Nowadays, when your surfaces need to be deep-down clean, you need micro-fibre. That’s why so many hospitals world-wide rely on micro-fibre cleaning products to ensure the cleanest, most sanitary environments for patients and staff.
The Wagtail™ Pivotool is the only cleaning tool to combine the power of Micro-Fibre technology, a swiveling base, and the world’s only built-in Squeegee—to deliver the cleanest clean your house has ever seen.
No other mop looks like it, works like it or cleans like it. Never before have you been able to wash and dry your surfaces to a deep-down clean in one easy action without harsh chemicals and expensive replacement pads.
First, the ultra-absorbent, high performance Micro-Fibre pad goes to work grabbing all the dirt and grime at a microscopic level, loosening and lifting it in seconds.
Then flip it and click it, and the world’s only built-in squeegee goes back and eliminates all the unseen dirt and water that every other mop leaves behind.
That’s why it’s not really clean until it’s Wagtail™ clean!
