Window cleaning tool

Abstract

This new window cleaning tool involves the usage of a metal wool in sheet format which can be folded and sewed and fitted onto a handle or an extendable pole. This new window cleaning tool has the performance characteristics of cleaning without scratching the window and it can be used at distance. The sheet material lasts longer and actually does a better job than plain metal wool bundles.
