Window Cleaning Spares & Consumables
Replacement squeegee rubbers, washer sleeves, DI resin and the small window cleaning supplies that keep your kit working like new — from R85, shipped anywhere in South Africa. A worn rubber is the number-one cause of streaks and a spent bag of resin is the number-one cause of spotting, so this page is where working kits come to stay working. Every spare here fits the squeegees, washers and water-fed systems we sell.
Squeegee Rubbers & Blades
The 71 cm Pulex replacement squeegee rubber (R85) cuts down to fit any channel we stock — one length covers 35 cm and 45 cm squeegees with material to spare. Add the Pullex scraper fitting (R230) for paint, cement and sticker removal on trade jobs. For sizing and cutting steps, see the squeegee sizes & maintenance guide.
Washer Sleeves & Washers
Microfibre sleeves do the scrubbing, so they wear first. The 35 cm replacement washer sleeve (R130) slides onto your existing T-bar in seconds. If the T-bar itself is tired, replace the complete tool: 35 cm window washer (R260) or 45 cm window washer (R290), both with sleeve included.
Pure-Water Consumables: DI Resin & TDS Testing
Mixed-bed DI resin (R250 per litre) is what makes water-fed cleaning spot-free — it strips the dissolved solids that dry into white marks. Resin is spent, not broken: when your TDS meter (R250) starts reading above about 10 ppm at the brush, spotting comes back and it is time to replace the resin. That is the whole maintenance loop of a pure-water system: test, clean, replace resin, repeat. New to pure water? Start with the water-fed pole equipment range and the RO vs DI buying guide.
Buckets & Carry Gear
The 15 L window cleaning bucket (R250) fits a 45 cm washer flat, and the Bucket on a Belt (R1,800) holsters your squeegee and washer at your hip — the difference between climbing down for tools and finishing the pane in one pass.
When to Replace What
| Spare | Replace when | The tell-tale sign | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Squeegee rubber | Edges nick or round off — monthly on daily use, yearly at home | Fine lines and streaks left on the glass | R85 |
| Washer sleeve | Fibres flatten or shed | Holds less water, stays grey after washing | R130 |
| DI resin | TDS at the brush climbs above ~10 ppm | Spot marks return on glass and panels | R250 / L |
Spares & Consumables FAQs
How often should I replace my squeegee rubber?
Replace it as soon as the edge nicks or rounds — streaks appear the moment the edge is no longer sharp. Professionals on daily glass replace rubbers roughly monthly; home users typically get a year. At R85 for a 71 cm length you can cut to size, it is the cheapest fix for streaky windows.
How long does DI resin last?
It depends on your tap water: the harder the water, the faster resin is spent. Test with a TDS meter — while output reads near 0 ppm the resin is working; once it creeps past about 10 ppm, replace it. Softer-water areas get months longer from the same litre than hard-water areas.
Will the 35 cm sleeve fit my washer?
Yes — it fits the standard 35 cm T-bar used in our washers and kits. If your T-bar is 45 cm, use the complete 45 cm washer instead.
Do you ship spares nationwide?
Yes — all spares and consumables ship courier to anywhere in South Africa, and everything carries our 6-month guarantee.
Keep the rest of the kit current too: window squeegees and washers, window cleaning kits and water-fed pole equipment.
