Post Construction Clean-up With The 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper

When getting a building ready for occupation- especially one where there have been recent construction works, a thorough top-to-bottom cleaning will be needed. All that dust, paint overspray, sediment and other materials on the different surfaces will need to be got rid of. When it particularly comes to the windows, there will be stubborn grime that requires more than the usual washing and scrubbing to remove. That’s where tools like the 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper come in.

Cleaning stubborn gunk on your windows

Whether you’ve just had a renovation done or construction activities that led to concrete and mortar particles winding up on the windows, or you’re dealing with paint residue that has been on the glass panes for decades, the 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper is up to the task. This unit gives you enhanced scraping power, removing the construction debris, stickers, glued residue and similar material that defeats the conventional cleaning tools. In fact, the scraper is brought out at the washing stage of the window cleaning process before you use the squeegee on the surface. With the soapy wet windows- like if you are using a washer sleeve, proceed to whip out the 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper and cut through that gunk that has built up on the windows.

The 6-inch blade also means that you get to cover more surface area within a shorter time. Each stroke of the scraper removes more of that stubborn gunk from the windows, making the Pro+ Contour Scraper a popular tool amongst the professional window cleaning contractors, where speed is key. After all, when you’re working on multiple units on a daily basis, you want to enhance your operational efficiency, and not get stuck working on the same spot for longer than is necessary. Incorporating the 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper into your cleaning arsenal means that you have a quality tool that expedites your processes, while ensuring that you get quality results for the scraping tasks.

When using the 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper, you also have a proper grip of the tool. This is made possible by the rubberised handle, giving you more control even during those wet conditions of the window washing process. That way, you won’t have incidences of the scraper slipping out of your hand, or the tool shuddering as you focus on removing the debris that is on the glass panes. This aids in increasing the efficiency of the process. It’s also a lightweight unit, clocking just 2.56 ounces. This, coupled with the ergonomic design of the tool, makes it easy to work with. You get all this without having to strain your cleaning and maintenance budget, as the 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper comes with a pocket-friendly price tag. The durability of the product adds to its economic nature, bringing you more savings by reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Using the scraper to work on your windows

There are two main rules to follow when scraping the windows, for the task to be done safely:

The glass surface should be wet.

As such, it will be more convenient when you use the scraper after you have soaped it up with the cleaning solution, before you squeegee the glass afterwards. For instance, when working with the window washer and you encounter those stubborn spots, use the 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper on them, while wetting the windows as necessary. In fact, with the washer in one hand, and the scraper in the other, you will get the task done much faster. Dry glass should never be scrapped.

You should only scrape with a forward motion.

Here, the strokes are like using a plough. When one pulls back the scraper, debris that is under the blade will scratch the glass surface- which is certainly not how you want things to go. Also, avoid side-to-side scraping.

Are you unsure if your window can be scraped? You can perform a test on an inconspicuous section of the glass, and view the area at different angles and lighting to assess the result. It’s also important to assess the condition of the blade of any scraper before you use it to ensure that it is straight, not worn out, and that there are no nicks on it. When checking the condition of the blade, do not run your finger or hand across it, as it is very sharp, and this would be courting danger.

Having spare blades comes in handy. Speaking of which, since the blade comes is the component that comes under the most abuse during the scraping process, it stands to reason that you want a high quality unit, one that will provide you with more usage. That’s what you get with the 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper. There are also replacement blades available, that are compatible with the unit, to enable you to have sufficient supply as you carry out the various window cleaning tasks. Here, you can opt for the 6″ Stainless Blades that come in 6 packs of 10, or the 6″ carbon steel blades that are available in 6 packs of 25 each.

Worker safety

To remove that stuck-on grime, the 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper relies on the power of a sharp blade. This is useful when it’s carrying out its intended task, but not when the scraper is in storage. When not in use, you don’t want accidents occurring. That same sharp blade can cause severe harm, which is not how you want things to play out. Don’t fret. The 6-inch Pro+ Contour Scraper comes with an additional feature to protect the personnel after they are done with the tool: a safety blade guard. This ensures that your cleaning crew- and the rest of the persons on the premises, are safe from injury. The blade guard is yellow, making it clearly noticeable, a warning for those handling it to take extra care. Remember that scrapers shouldn’t be left unattended or lying around in public areas- especially where kids can gain access to them.
