Interior glass above head height is the job nobody on a janitorial crew wants: haul the ladder, move the furniture, spray, wipe, climb down, reposition, repeat. The IPC Eagle Cleano CL5 removes the ladder from that sequence. It is a telescopic microfiber cleaning system with a 10-inch articulating head and an onboard refillable solution globe, so an operator standing flat on the floor can reach roughly 10 to 11 feet of glass, mist it and glide the pad across it in a single motion.
It runs entirely on muscle - no cord, no battery, no charger, nothing to fail on site. Filled with pure water from a HydroTube, Hydro Cart or Ready Pure system, it leaves no chemical residue on the glass, and that is the part crews notice most: because there is no surfactant film left behind to attract dust, the glass stays presentable longer and the cleaning interval stretches out. IPC Eagle reports labor reductions up to 50 percent on interior glass compared with ladder-and-bucket work.
This is the 5-foot telescopic version. The CL5 has the telescoping handle; the HC5 does not. Three cleaning pads are included.
Built for
- Building service contractors cleaning interior glass, partitions and mirrors
- In-house facility teams in offices, schools, hospitals, hotels and airports
- Atrium glass, transom windows, glass partitions and elevator lobbies
- Any site where ladder work is restricted or furniture is hard to move
- Chemical-free and low-residue cleaning programs
Use cases
- High interior glass without a ladder - the telescoping handle plus the articulated joint reach over desks, display cases and fixed seating that a ladder cannot straddle.
- Fingerprint and grease removal on partitions - the microfiber pad lifts skin oil and smudges that a squeegee just redistributes.
- Mirrors and stainless in restrooms and elevators - safe on non-porous surfaces, and no chemical overspray onto adjacent finishes.
- Drip-sensitive areas - the micro-spray applies only what the pad needs, so there is no water running down the wall onto carpet or electronics.
- Daily touch-up routes - one operator with one tool instead of two people footing a ladder.

Frequently asked questions
How high can the CL5 actually reach?
With the telescopic handle extended and an operator standing on the floor, cleaning reach is over 10 feet - about 10 to 11 feet in practice depending on operator height.
Do I have to use pure water, or will tap water work?
It will spray tap water, but tap water carries dissolved minerals that dry as spots and streaks. The system is designed around pure water from a HydroTube, Hydro Cart or Ready Pure unit, which is what allows a residue-free finish with no drying or buffing.
What is the difference between the CL5 and the HC5?
The CL5 includes the telescoping handle for high reach. The HC5 is the same cleaning head and globe on a short handle for surfaces within normal arm's reach.
Is it safe on anything besides glass?
Yes. It is intended for glass and other non-porous solid surfaces - mirrors, glass partitions, stainless steel, laminate and similar. It is not for porous surfaces such as unsealed stone or raw wood.
Are replacement pads available?
Yes, the microfiber pads are a stocked wear item. Three pads ship with the system; most crews keep spares so a clean pad is always on the tool.
Does it need charging or a power outlet?
No. The Cleano is entirely mechanical. There is no motor, cord or battery - the trigger operates the micro-spray from the onboard globe.
