Window Scrapers and Blades

Window Scrapers and Scraper Blades Product information

ClickCleaning stocks professional window scrapers designed to safely remove paint, adhesive residue, labels, and other stubborn contamination that normal cleaning can't handle. Scrapers are essential tools for any serious window cleaner, but using the wrong type or poor technique can damage glass or cause injury.

Professional window cleaning often involves more than just washing and squeegeeing. Construction adhesive, paint overspray, label residue, and various forms of contamination require mechanical removal before normal cleaning can be effective. The right scraper removes these materials efficiently whilst protecting both the glass and the user.

Our scraper range covers different applications: safety scrapers for basic removal work, Ergotec scrapers for professional applications, Trim scrapers for portability and convenience, and specialised Ninja scrapers for advanced techniques, plus comprehensive blade replacement options to keep equipment
performing optimally.

Replacement blades ensure continued performance from quality scraper systems. Blade availability includes standard glass scraper blades, safety scraper blades, and specialized Ninja blades designed for specific scraper systems.

Glass scraper blades are available in various pack sizes: 10-packs for occasional users, 25-packs for regular professional use, providing flexibility for different usage levels and budget requirements.

Ninja scraper blades are engineered specifically for Ninja scraper systems, providing optimal performance that matches the advanced features of the scraper design. These blades are available in 25-packs for professional operations.

Blade selection affects both scraping performance and safety. Sharp blades remove contamination more easily and safely than dull ones, whilst appropriate blade types ensure compatibility with scraper systems and optimal results.

Safety considerations include proper technique to prevent glass damage, appropriate blade angles to minimise scoring risks, and regular blade replacement to maintain safe cutting edges. Dull blades require more pressure and increase accident risks.

Scraping technique involves proper blade angle (typically 30-45 degrees), consistent pressure that removes contamination without excessive force, and systematic coverage that prevents missed areas whilst avoiding repeated scraping of clean glass.

Professional applications require scrapers that maintain performance through daily use whilst providing reliable contamination removal that supports overall cleaning quality and customer satisfaction.

Blade storage and handling includes protecting sharp edges during transport, keeping blades clean and dry to prevent corrosion, and disposing of worn blades safely to prevent injury.

Contamination types affect scraper selection. Paint overspray requires sharp, precise blades. Adhesive residue benefits from slightly dulled blades that won't cut too aggressively. Label removal needs consistent pressure over larger areas.

Maintenance includes keeping scraper handles clean and functional, replacing blades promptly when performance declines, and storing scrapers properly to prevent damage and maintain safety.

Glass compatibility considerations include avoiding scrapers on coated or treated glass unless specifically approved, testing technique on inconspicuous areas, and understanding that some glass types require specialised removal methods.

Window Scrapers and Scraper Blades FAQs

What size scraper should I choose for different applications?

For detail work and small areas, 1.5" safety scrapers provide precision control. For general professional use, 4" scrapers offer good balance between coverage and control. For large contaminated areas, 6" scrapers maximise efficiency.

Most professional window cleaners carry multiple sizes - a small safety scraper for delicate work and a larger scraper for efficient coverage on bigger jobs.

How do I scrape glass safely without causing damage?

Use sharp blades at proper angles (30-45 degrees), maintain consistent light pressure, and keep the blade moving to prevent scoring. Always scrape in one direction rather than back-and-forth, and replace blades when they become dull.

Never use excessive pressure - if contamination won't come off easily, you might need different technique or pre-treatment rather than more force.

When should I replace scraper blades?

Replace blades when they become dull, chipped, or bent. Dull blades require more pressure and increase the risk of glass damage. Sharp blades remove contamination more easily and safely.

For professional use, replace blades frequently rather than trying to extend their life - fresh blades work better and are safer.

What's special about Ninja scrapers compared to standard ones?

Ninja scrapers incorporate advanced design features for professional techniques and challenging applications. They're precision tools for experienced users rather than general-purpose scrapers.

Most users will be better served by the proven Ergotec or safety scraper ranges unless they have specific advanced techniques that benefit from Ninja features.

Can I use any blade with any scraper?

No, different scraper systems use different blade attachment methods and sizes. Safety scrapers use 1.5" safety blades, while Ergotec scrapers need compatible 4" or 6" glass scraper blades.

Always check compatibility before ordering replacement blades to ensure proper fit and performance.

How do I remove different types of contamination?

Paint overspray: Use sharp blades at shallow angles with light pressure. Adhesive residue: Try slightly warmed glass and consistent pressure. Labels: Start at corners and work systematically.

Some contamination may need pre-treatment with appropriate solvents before scraping becomes effective.

Are scrapers safe for all types of glass?

Standard float glass handles scraping well with proper technique. Avoid scrapers on coated, tinted, or specialty glass unless you're certain it's safe. Always test on inconspicuous areas first.

Some architectural glass has coatings that can be damaged by scraping, so check with glass manufacturers if you're unsure.

How do I maintain my scrapers properly?

Keep handles clean and functional, replace blades promptly when they dull, and store scrapers with blade guards to prevent damage and injury. Clean blades occasionally to remove adhesive build-up.

Proper storage prevents blade damage and maintains scraper functionality between uses.

What causes streaking after scraping?

Usually residue from the contamination removal process or particles left on the glass. Clean thoroughly with appropriate glass cleaner after scraping to remove all residues and particles.

Sometimes the scraping process leaves microscopic scratches that appear as streaking - this indicates technique problems or inappropriate blade use.

Do I need special training to use scrapers safely?

While scrapers seem simple, proper technique prevents glass damage and injury. Understanding blade angles, pressure control, and contamination assessment helps ensure safe, effective use.

Consider practicing technique on scrap glass before working on expensive windows, especially when dealing with specialty glass or challenging contamination.
