2. Clean

Then loosen the dirt on the window with the microfiber cloth on the spray bottle. Work the solution around the entire window pane, from top to bottom.

3. Vacuum

Finish by vacuuming up the dirty cleaning solution with the Window Vac – done! And without streaks, drips or any residue left.

PowerSqueegee® Technology

Most experts agree – cleaning windows with a squeegee is much better than cleaning with (expensive!) paper towels, rags or newspapers.

Squeegees greatly reduce the time required to clean, and the spot-free and lint-free results speak for themselves.

But regular squeegees have a couple of big drawbacks – streaks and drips.

Our PowerSqueegee technology vacuums up the dirty fluid as you clean, so the fluid can't streak along the edges or drip down on the window casing. No streaks. No Drips. Problems solved!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does cleaning with a Window Vac compare to cleaning with paper towels?

Cleaning with paper towels requires a lot of physical effort, is time-consuming and inefficient. The results are usually less than satisfactory, leaving behind streaks as well as lint. Additionally, there is a lot of waste, often a trash can full of expensive paper towels!

The Window Vac cleans windows 3X faster and eliminates the need for paper towels. All you need is the Window Vac, spray bottle and cleaning solution, which is all included. You'll enjoy sparkling streak-free windows with minimal effort and no mess!

What can the Window Vac clean other than windows?

The Window Vac is a multi surface cleaner and excels at cleaning windows, of course, but is also great for cleaning:

mirrors
shower doors and tiles
kitchen surfaces
appliance doors
glass tables
vehicle windows
other solid, flat surfaces around the home

Please note that the Window Vac should NOT be used to pick up:

large spills (use a wet/dry vac instead)
harmful or caustic liquids (including rubbing alcohol and bleach)
solid matter

How much does the Window Vac weigh?

The WV1 Window Vac is very light, weighing in at just a little over a pound! (17 ounces) This makes it easy for users of all ages to hold and operate.

The WV6 Plus and WV6 Premium weigh only slightly more (1.7 pounds) due to their longer battery run times.

How long will the Window Vac operate after a full charge?

The WV 1 Window Vac provides up to 30 minutes of continuous cleaning time after a full charge. That is more than sufficient to clean the windows in an average-size home.

For even more cleaning power, the WV 6 Plus and WV 6 Premium clean up to 100 minutes on a single battery charge!

Popular Accessories for the WIndow Vac

Window Vac Extension Cleans Overhead Window

Accessories and Window Cleaner Concentrate

Our battery-powered Window Vacs contain everything you need to clean most home windows – but what if you need to clean overhead windows that are difficult to reach?

Our Window Vac Extension Pole makes cleaning high windows a breeze. You can use the extension pole to both apply cleaning solution and then to vacuum it away with the Window Vac attached. Forget climbing around on ladders to clean your overhead windows – this Window Vac extension kit enables you to clean quickly and safely from ground level.

While you can certainly use your favorite brand of cleaning solution with the Window Vac, many users prefer our specially formulated Window Cleaner Concentrate. It cleans brilliantly and also makes rain run off more quickly (and keeps windows and other surfaces clean longer!), while imparting a natural fresh scent.

If you have smaller pane windows (like those on French doors), consider adding the optional WV1 Small Suction Nozzle or WV 6 Small Suction Nozzle to your Window Vac.

Finally, don't forget your outside windows! We offer special Window Vac Pads for Outdoor Use to tackle more stubborn dirt, mud and residue.
