A great little scrubber

We use the tomcat on the ultralight 18 inch plus the G force. It just rips thru the debris bee poo etc

I found what I was looking for.

The carborundum are aggressive enough to clean the most stubborn contamination though caution is required. Only yesterday, after testing a pane I discovered these pads would leave fine scratches so I opted for the Tom Cat. Worked well! I was removing left over Goop and it sliced through it. Beware the Tom Cats are prone to come unstuck at the edges from the backing material if used aggressively, for instance striking the window pane at the end of your stroke. I'm sure I can glue them back on but not sure what to use...

White magic eraser is the best

I have tried every scrub now
The magic eraser is my number #1 go to scrubb
I go so quick using it and it always gives a mint finish. I clean mainly homes under 10 years old so the glass is nano clear coated and smooth so I’m flying with this magic eraser
I just pick the bee poo off as I go if it’s single story
2nd story bee poo I switch to the other more abrasive scrubs. But yeah get a 10 pack of these should last you through summer

Yellow scrub and carborundum

The carborundum is close to being like 1400 grit sandpaper good for some windows but not all, check before using if you really need it, the white scrub pad is the go to pad and this yellow one is pretty close to the yellow but it seems to be a type of foam that breaks easily when taken off the ultra lite, just be careful taking it off

Like these

These work great on glass that has not been cleaned in awhile

Tomcat UltraLite Scrubbies are freakin amazing

I picked these up to give them a go as well as some standard orange abrasive scrubs (have used in the past). These are my go-to scrub now, nothing beats them, especially for pool glass/ balustrades. I have the Green Hulk for my Radial Rocker (and all the other scrubs), but these I believe are just a bit better when it comes to bee poo. I use the UltraLite and Tomcat on 99% of my outside jobs now in combination with a standard (other brand) brush with fanjets for frames and external gutter/fascia.

Very aggressive scrubbing pad.

This is a more aggressive scrub pad then a white none scratch pad. For the right occasion its a really good scrubpad like glass.
But be careful for alluminium frames and other fragile objects because it will scratch.

FAQ

Which replacement scrubs can I buy for the G-FORCE PRO, and how many come in a pack?

G-FORCE scrubs come in 14" / 35.6 cm and 18" / 45.7 cm. Packs of 9: TOM CAT, carborundum, non-scratch, standard microfiber. Packs of 4: green rubber (HULK) and magic eraser. A G-FORCE SCRUBS HOLSTER is also sold on the same product page. The E-FORCE "Step 1: clean microfiber" scrub (pack of 9, 14") also fits the G-FORCE.

Which scrubs fit the RADIAL ULTRA-LITE 14", 18" and ULTRA-LITE MAX 22"?

Order the scrub size that matches your brush: 14" / 35.6 cm, 18" / 45.7 cm or 22" / 55.9 cm (MAX). Each size comes in TOM CAT (pack of 9), carborundum, non-scratch and magic eraser (packs of 10). Choose ULTRA-LITE and your size on the scrubs product page.

Which scrubs fit the REACH-iT FRENCH PANE 6" and 8" brushes?

The FRENCH PANE brushes are mini ULTRA-LITES, so they take small "scrubbies" in 6" / 15.2 cm or 8" / 20.3 cm. They come in packs of 20 in carborundum, non-scratch and magic eraser. The small surface puts more pressure on the glass with every stroke.

How do you use the E-FORCE two-step method on Low-E glass?

Step 1: a long-loop microfiber grabs the dirt, used with a fine mist of water (or a water and isopropyl mix) so it slides over the coating. Step 2: a polishing microfiber, used dry, clears the thin film of dirt Step 1 leaves behind, which otherwise shows at sunrise and sunset. That's why the E-FORCE box has 2 units: one for each step.

Can I buy replacement microfiber scrubs for the E-FORCE?

Yes, in 14" / 35.6 cm packs of 9. Step 1: clean microfiber (also fits the G-FORCE). Step 2: polish microfiber (E-FORCE only). Use only these soft microfibers on Low-E coated glass: no abrasive scrubs, blades or squeegees on the coated side.

Will it fit my brush?

Pick your tool and size at the top. Only the scrubs that fit that brush show, and the green tick confirms the fit. REACH-iT has two scrub ranges: one for RADIAL ROCKER, SOLAR ROCKER and DEEP-FRAME ROCKER, and one for ULTRA-LITE, G-FORCE, E-FORCE and FRENCH PANE. Not sure? Message us on live chat or email support@futureofcleaning.com.

Which scrub should I use?

Match the scrub to the dirt:

  • Non-scratch (orange): the everyday scrub for most window cleaners, and safe on most frames too. The aluminum oxide grit is very fine and set in soft fibers, so it won't scratch glass. For scale: walnut scrub is 3.5 on the hardness scale, glass about 6.5, carborundum 9.0.
  • Stainless steel wool / bronze wool: aggressive scrape for very dirty glass. The strands run parallel to the glass and act like blades. They don't rust, so they won't stain.
  • Stainless mesh ("the cheesegrater"): scrapes caked-on dirt, artillery fungus, paint overspray and sticker residue.
  • Blue metal: sharper than stainless mesh. Very aggressive.
  • Microfiber: grabs dirt. Best for petrochemical pollution, with a squirt of non-streaking detergent. It can trap sand, so rinse it often.
  • Green rubber: a grabber, not a scraper, and it flushes sand out. The pick for bee mess and the waxy residue under it.
  • Magic eraser: silicone and sticker residue. Expect a few more passes.
  • Silicon: an everyday grab scrub. It squeaks as it cleans.
  • TOM CAT: a grab-style scrub for bee mess and the waxy residue under it. Tom Hay, a window cleaner in Perth, Australia, found it after testing material after material. It eats bee poo.
  • Carborundum: our most aggressive pad. Silicon carbide (hardness 9.0) cuts tough debris off glass (hardness about 6.5). It won't scratch real glass because the foam backing gives under pressure and the pad is large. Use it on real glass only.

Treated glass (like E-Glass and clear polymer panels) can scratch with any abrasive scrub. Test a small area first.

Which pad for paint overspray?

Stainless mesh ("the cheesegrater") scrapes paint overspray, caked-on dirt and sticker residue. For the toughest bonded debris, step up to carborundum, on real glass only. Treated glass (like E-Glass and clear polymer panels) can scratch with any abrasive scrub. Test a small area first.

What does shipping cost?

Shipping is calculated at checkout by weight and destination. We ship across the U.S. and worldwide.

What's covered by the warranty?

Every REACH-iT product comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Worn scrubs and spare parts are stocked, so you can keep the brush cutting long after that.
