12' Squeegee Kit

We bought the 36 foot reach docapole to clean some high picturesque windows. Over the last ten years we had tried two extension poles with microfiber and squeegee heads. I started with an off brand and then Mr Long Arm. I used Unger microfiber cloth with squeegee I would struggle to get the job done and it was never streak free clean to my satisfaction. And if it was cold or your hands got wet it was to the point of painful to change extension lengths. Sometimes requiring tools to help. The inadequate attempts at window cleaning led to my wife looking into costs of a window cleaning service. I thought we’d try this docapole and give one last try at DIY.GAME CHANGER. The fenestrated pole and adjustable quick locks completely avoid rotational slip. The Doca attachments screw on tightly and don’t unwind when it’s up at 36 feet, no more having to duct tape your squeegee or bringing the tool back to the ground to attempt another repair. I found the Doca mop to be another major upgrade, I finish a whole story of windows before I have to reapply window cleaning solution. The upper aspect of the windows is angled, the bidirectional rotating squeegee head makes the job look professional.WARNING-it worked so well, my wife asked me if I could clean out under the fascia boards at the peak of the house, about 36 feet up. The pressure washer barely reaches there and can’t keep anything above 12 feet clean without a ladder. I used the DOCA mop and a 1:1 mix of simple green and white vinegar applied with the docapole. Then washed off with 0 degree nozzle on pressure washer. When it dried it looks freshly painted. We had been talking about needing a new paint job due to mildew discoloration we could not manage. Now gone! Worked so well I ended up washing the whole house. Looks great.I didn’t say it was easy. At max extension you need a strong back and shoulders (or a second person) to be able to position and move the mop for cleaning. And looking straight up for too long of a time can be a pain in the neck.Two tips to pass on. After you place the solution at the mop end, secure the butt end against the house foundation or a similar sturdy structure. Walk your way up the pole until the mop end becomes airborne. It then gets very wobbly and hard to control. Rest the mop end against some trim or similar, then walk or bounce the mop head over to your desired cleaning location.If you question what length to buy, I would recommend you go with the 36 foot reach. Without extension it works well as a 10 foot pole. If your house is only a one story you may consider a shorter pole. But check out the attachments. You can use the pole saw attachment and do your own tree maintenance, etc.I’ve only had the docapole for three weeks but it has already held up to a lot of use, and paid itself off multiple times. And opened up a lot of cleaning and maintenance options that I previously would not have considered. Highly recommended.

The cobweb duster is really great but I don't like it for ceilings and wall corners. It is too rough and not nmade for nice finishes and paint...it is really great for under the kickplate of your kitchen counters and for all of your baseboards!For crown molding the choice is difficult. The chenille microfiber flexy ceiling fan thing is the better option for the "brush action" you need. But the "flex-and-stay" is a total LIE. The thing is made with a really thin FLAT metal stick in it. Imagine a flimy ruler made of thin anluminum that bends when you don;t want it to. Really annoying! Especially because this shag-looking wand is a dream for cobwebs. Sadly it bends as you drag it along your wall. Just...could...be...better. Not to mention this is a disaster to use on a ceiling fan. There really is no easy alternative to ceiling fans than getting up there and cleaning them!The microfiber feather duster is what ends up being my go-to for crown moldings as much I think it has a much better use as a brush for diusting shelves, knick-nacks, and especially picture frames. I am going to order another and use one for dusting and one for crown moldings and cobwebs as I expect that will wear out quickly in that capacity. But it is better than the flimsy shag wand by far.The extendy pole? Absolutely awesome! Sturdy as hell and really nice to use. I have a little fear that eventually the plastic parts will fail in screwing them on and off so much. That is yet to be seen but only a paranoia at the moment.One complaint that I would address if I were the manufactorer is another attachment or a different approch to the featuher duster. It seems to be on a wire stick that is too pokey and hard at the end. Trying to dust anything I get grating and scratching of it even though the stuck has a tiny plastic cap on the end. Really a bad design for this. See my attached photo. What I did was to bend the wand around into a ring shape. This way I am using the duster and no longer scratching my walls with the stick inside. Design flaw for sure.

I can see clearly now....clean windows yeah. Easy to use, strong pole and able to clean high windows. Made a solution of water vinegar and a touch of Dawn soap. Did the job well!

Easy to use and effective - no need for a ladder to reach ceiling cobwebs etc. Dusting arm can be used with or without the pole.

The media could not be loaded. It’s so much better for the trees to mount my TC07 trail cam on one of these! We don’t need the full thirty feet - but nice to have that flexibility! We mount the trail cam straight up and down, not at an angle, for max support for the trail cam weight. It’s great I can raise the trail cam up and down and move as needed, all in moments. No ladders! Yay! I wish the company made a slightly heavier duty camera mount specifically for trail cams. Anyway, we loved this pole so much we also bought a shorter one with lots of cleaning attachments. -and the bird feeder hanging attachment (bought separately on Amazon) is great for hanging cords over tall tree branches. Super handy. Well made. Secure levers to raise and lower. The uses keep multiplying! Hope the video makes you smile (made with TC07 trail cam on docapole) and that this review is useful to you :)

Perfect. Well made. Quality item.
