Frequently asked questions
1. What is the purpose of glides in professional cleaning equipment?
Glides reduce friction between the cleaning tool (such as a wand or head) and the surface being cleaned. This allows smoother movement, less operator fatigue, and better airflow through the vacuum system, resulting in faster cleaning times, more consistent results, and reduced wear on both equipment and flooring.
2. How do I choose the right glide for my carpet wand or cleaning head?
The correct glide depends on your wand model, surface type, and cleaning style.
- Teflon glides are ideal for smooth surfaces and glide easily over carpets.
- Slotted or holed glides provide better suction control for deep cleaning.
Our team can help you select the right glide to optimize performance and fit perfectly with your existing setup.
3. Do glides really help extend the life of my cleaning equipment?
Absolutely. Glides act as a protective barrier between the wand head and flooring, preventing scratches, abrasion, and unnecessary strain on your machine. By reducing drag and improving airflow efficiency, they lower wear on your vacuum system and extend the lifespan of your tools.
4. Are your glides compatible with all professional carpet cleaning wands and brands?
Yes. We stock a range of universal and brand-specific glides designed to fit most professional carpet wands and extraction systems. Each product includes sizing and compatibility details, and our team can help confirm the perfect match for your equipment to ensure a secure, leak-free fit.
5. How often should I replace glides to maintain peak performance?
The lifespan of a glide depends on the frequency of use and the types of surfaces you clean. On average, glides should be inspected every 3–6 months and replaced once you notice visible wear, uneven movement, or airflow reduction. Regular replacement ensures consistent performance and professional-quality results.
