scrubber Explanation: Hi again, I found a better picture and description of mojadores at http://www.clevernet.es/htmls/cristal/plx/mojadores.html (although these are also for windows), and a very similar picture at http://housewares.aubuchonhardware.com/cleaning_supplies/gla... where they call it a window scrubber. Judging by the description, though, it might work for you: Thick richly woven scrubber for windows, showers, baths and all fine surfaces, even cars. Loosens dirt for easy rinse or squeegee-off. The cover snaps off the durable T-bar for easy cleaning. I'll keep looking in case I find something else... :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-10 17:21:51 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Looks like it\'s also called a \"strip washer\" - photo here http://www.cjms.com/orstripwas14.html and here http://www.janitorialsupplies.com/matting/page178.htm with this description: A T-shaped nylon handle with water wells that release water through the strip fabric as needed. The plush, woven fabric sleeve is machine washable and tackles everyday tough jobs, even dusting. Includes one handle and one fabric sleeve. I thought it might be a trade name at first, but it\'s certainly used here in a generic way: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/ah_cleaning_seasonal/article/0,1801... Take a strip washer (found at most home stores) or a sponge and wipe off the window. Use enough cleaning liquid to dissolve dirt but not so much that the window is a dripping mess.
