Interior glass is a maintenance job, not a restoration job - fingerprints, dust and smudges, over and over. The IPC Eagle Ultra Pure Cleano CL1 handles that work without a bucket, a spray bottle or a squeegee. It is a compact 12 inch all-in-one tool that combines pure water and microfiber in an entirely mechanical unit: no cords, no batteries, nothing to charge. Handle, pad holder, solution tank and spray system are built into a single piece you fill and go.
Because there is no chemical residue left behind, there is nothing on the glass for dust to cling to - which is why IPC frames the benefit as glass that stays clean longer, not merely glass that cleans faster. The CL1 is the entry point to the Cleano range and the sensible way to try the pure-water method before committing to a poled system.
Built for
- Routine interior glass, mirrors, partitions and glass doors
- Offices, retail floors, schools, clinics and hospitality interiors
- In-house janitorial and facility teams rather than full-time window contractors
- Occupied spaces where overspray onto desks, casework and electronics is unacceptable
- Hard surfaces beyond glass - walls, doors, desks, worktops, elevator panels and appliances
Use cases
- Daily and weekly interior glass maintenance. Spray and glide over fingerprints and smudges on partitions, mirrors, showcases and glass doors, with no chemical film left to attract the next layer of dust.
- Cleaning around furniture and equipment. The tool does not drip, so you can work glass above a desk or a display case without moving anything or wiping down what is underneath.
- Solid-surface wipe-downs. Walls, doors, worktops, elevator interiors and appliance fronts all clean with the same tool by swapping the pad.
Do you need a pure-water system to use it?
No - and this is the point most buyers get stuck on. IPC states the Cleano can be filled from a HydroTube, Hydro Cart or Ready Pure system, but also that it can be used with distilled or purified water, or with chemical products if you prefer. Distilled water from any supermarket will run it. The recurring cost is pads and water rather than cleaning chemicals, which is where the labour and consumable savings come from.
An honest note on what it replaces
Professional window cleaners are clear on this: a pad system handles the large majority of routine interior work, but it is not a replacement for a squeegee on construction cleanup or on glass that has been neglected for years. Treat the CL1 as the tool for maintenance cleaning - which is most of what an in-house team actually does.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to buy a pure-water system to use the Cleano?
No. IPC states it can be filled from a HydroTube, Hydro Cart or Ready Pure system, but distilled or purified water works, and it can also be used with chemical products.
Will it really not streak?
IPC's position is that because no chemical residue is left behind, streaking is eliminated and dirt is not attracted back to the surface. On heavily neglected or construction-soiled glass, expect to pre-clean first - this is a maintenance tool.
What can I use it on besides windows?
Mirrors, glass partitions, showcases and glass doors, plus washable walls, doors, furniture, desks, worktops, elevator walls and doors, refrigerator glass and window sills.
What pads are included, and which pad does what?
The CL1 comes with a glass pad and a spot pad. The glass pad handles general glass cleaning; the spot pad is the more aggressive option for marks that need working. Frames and pads are interchangeable across the Cleano range.
How high can I reach with the CL1?
The CL1 is the compact 12 inch handheld unit and is intended for surfaces you can reach from the ground. If you need pole reach for tall interior glass, step up to a larger Cleano model.
Can it replace my squeegee?
For routine interior maintenance cleaning, largely yes. For construction cleanup or glass that has gone years without attention, a traditional squeegee and scrubber is still the right tool.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized IPC Eagle dealer and stocks the Cleano range along with replacement pads, so the consumable side is covered once the tool is in service. Our US-based team can help you work out whether the compact CL1 or a larger poled Cleano suits your building, and which pads match the surfaces on your route.
