How G-FORCE cleans
A new kind of tool, not a brush: a scrub-pad chassis on a GYRO head, with the rinse bar on the glass.
All Scrub Pad
How it scrubs: Scrub pad only, no bristle. All the contact goes into scrubbing.
Agitation7 / 10
Rinse flow4 / 10
More scrub means less flow-through. Nothing scores 10 on both.
Best for: Store-fronts, glass-clad ground floors, glass balustrades and heavy soiling.

Why pros buy it
- Clean in one pass - patented tool: it scrubs on the up-stroke and rinses on the down-stroke, so there's no going back to rinse.
- The GYRO head does the bending: clean from 6 ft / 1.8 m above your head down to your toes without crouching.
- The 18" / 45.7 cm chassis covers wider glass, up to 3 stories. First G-FORCE? Start with the 14": it's nimbler and presses harder.
- 360º action. Just twist: rinse bar on top so pure water is the last thing on the glass, or underneath to pull heavy dust down in one stroke.
- Slide the swivel base to either end to get the chassis into gaps as tight as 1" / 2.5 cm (security rails, balustrades).
- 6 scrub types in the box: non-scratch, carborundum, TOM CAT, green HULK, magic eraser and microfiber.
Product details
G-FORCE is ANOTHER REACH-iT INNOVATION (circa 2024) to revolutionize cleaning glass that is 'ground up'.
The G-FORCE 18" HAND TOOL option is ideal if you a) you own G-FORCE PRO KIT, or if you already have a suitable pole with POLE to HANDLE STEM ADAPTOR. If you don't have an adaptor, but you want to use G-FORCE on your existing pole, just add to your order an aluminum POLE to HANDLE STEM ADAPTOR for your brand pole and then you can add G-FORCE, and any other RADIAL TOOL and Z-FORCE. If you do not have a suitable pole (we recommend an 8FT extended length), choose G-FORCE PRO KIT.
Whilst we designed G-FORCE 14" for 'ground glass', many window cleaners have adopted it as one of their 'go to' tools up to 3 stories (above that, the GYRO swivel can't be locked, so it gets hard to control). As a result, we developed the 18" chassis that you can buy either as an add-on chassis, or as a full alternative hand tool. Of course, all RADIAL TOOL handles are compatible with the RADIAL POLE to HANDLE STEM ADAPTOR. If you are choosing between 18" and 14" as your first G-FORCE, choose 14" as it is very nimble and has more pounds per square inch force (smaller SCRUB area) so your AGITATION is always as effective as possible.
Why do you benefit from a pole ? When we clean glass to the ground, whether a store-front, a glass-clad ground floor, or glass balustrades, using a pole is so ergonomically wrong - we become contortionists - crouching, bending over, cleaning sideways etc - it is not good long term!
The 'G' in G-FORCE stands for 'GYRO' and the GYRO does the 'bending' for you! You can reach 6FT above your head, to your toes without changing your posture !
Cleaning glass balustrades with a mop and squeegee often involves moving your center of gravity over the railing. Using the 6" REACH MASTER gooseneck (not included), you can clean the other side of a glass balustrade with an upright stance, all your mass on the balcony side. Using the GYRO, you can easily use G-FORCE 'upside down' so the rinse bars are always at the top.
Talking about the orientation of the rinse jetstreams, there is a case for having them under the tool - when a window is REALLY dirty with dust (eg. farm houses), it is easier to pull the dirty water DOWN rather than pushing it up the window and asking gravity to pull it down - when you are wanting to push the next action up. By inverting G-FORCE (the benefit of the GYRO), you can do the first pass upside down and get the dirt off in a single downward stroke, then spin it around and next time, rinse bars on the top to make sure the spot-free water is last on the glass.
Have you ever had to clean a glass panel or window with only an inch of space to get your tool in ? Perfect for G-FORCE. Whether it is between security rails, or between the glass balustrade that extends to the bottom of a balcony slab (another architectural oversight) - you can slide the swivel base on the chassis of G-FORCE to the full left or right (the same as we do with a squeegee) and slide just the chassis into the space with the handle/pole fully off-centered.
EFFICIENCY is a combination of increased speed of AGITATION and ON-GLASS-RINSE (eliminating the secondary rinse phase). To maximize AGITATION, you need to match the SCRUB pad to the DEBRIS on the glass. That is why we include 6 different types of SCRUB:
Orange NON-SCRATCH Scrub is your 'go-to' SCRUB for all on-glass applications. This is most like 'bristles'.
Black CARBORUNDUM is super sharp - almost like super-fine emery paper. It will not scratch real glass, but it will definitely scratch up any nano treatment on external glass (so test it before using on tempered glass).
Yellow TOMCAT is amazing at Bee Poo, and removing the waxy residue. It is truly amazing and remarkably fast.
Green HULK has an even higher surface friction - ideal for stuff like seagull bombardments that so not soften quickly with water.
White MAGIC ERAZER is able to remove sticker residue, and silicon creep from the window seals.
Grey MICROFIBER is not really a SCRUB as microfiber is really designed as a grab-and-hold cleaning fabric. When you are facing organics on glass, fingerprints, oils from pollution, or smoke from BBQ's - add detergent to your MICROFIBER SCRUB to break down the organics.
By choosing the correct SCRUB, you will reduce the number of AGITATION strokes, thereby increasing your efficiency which translates into an increased HOURLY RATE.

NO CLOGGED JETS
Inline pre-jet filter.
Your tube isn't always plugged into the pure water system. Unplug it, drop it on the ground, and micro grit can get inside.
A fine mesh filter sits in the tube, just before the rinse bar. It catches that grit so your jets don't clog. If it fills up, rinse it clean and keep working.

What pros say
Questions
14" or 18"?
Start with the 14" / 35.6 cm. It's nimble, and the smaller scrub area puts more pressure on the glass, so every stroke works harder. Add the 18" / 45.7 cm for wider glass: buy it as a full hand tool, or as an add-on chassis that slides onto your 14" GYRO mount.
Will it fit my pole?
Yes, with the G-FORCE aluminum pole adaptor. Pick your pole in Build your G-FORCE setup above. Once fitted, the same adaptor also takes our RADIAL brushes and Z-FORCE. No pole yet? The G-FORCE PRO KIT comes with an 8 ft / 2.4 m pole. Not sure? Message us on live chat or email support@futureofcleaning.com.
Can I use it up high?
Yes, up to 3 stories. G-FORCE swivels freely and the swivel can't be locked, so above 3 stories it gets hard to control. We designed it for ground-level glass, and for that work 8 ft / 2.4 m extended is the sweet spot: we tested many pole lengths.
How do I clean a glass balustrade?
Fit the Small 60° REACH MASTER gooseneck and reach over to the far side while you stand upright, all your weight on the balcony side. Use the GYRO to run G-FORCE upside down, so the rinse bar stays at the top of the glass.
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.
- Microfiber: grabs dirt. Best for petrochemical pollution, with a squirt of non-streaking detergent. It can trap sand, so rinse it often.
- Green rubber (HULK): 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.
- 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.
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 G-FORCE cutting long after that.
Which style of brush
is right for you?
More scrub means less flow-through. Pick by the dirt you clean most.
