Understanding Moerman Tools: Liquidator, Excelerator, Combinator, F*liq & More

Moerman tools have become favourites among UK window cleaners thanks to their clever design, durable build, and excellent time-saving performance. Whether you work on domestic houses or large commercial sites, Moerman’s Liquidator channels, Combinator systems, and advanced swivel handles help you clean faster with fewer cloth strokes. Below you’ll find a clearer, expanded explanation of each tool so you can choose the right setup for your work.

What is a Liquidator?

The Moerman Liquidator is a traditional squeegee fitted with a specially engineered channel designed to speed up cleaning and reduce detailing. It is particularly popular with UK cleaners because it handles modern window frames, corners and tight edges with ease. Designed for precision and efficiency, it helps deliver crisp results even when you are working quickly.

Advantages over standard squeegees:

• The plastic channel tips prevent scratches on UPVC and painted frames.
• The angled ends help you reach deep into corners without leaving drips.
• ‘Dog-eared’ tips press the rubber firmly onto the glass edges, reducing water leakage.
• Less detailing needed, meaning faster job times and a more professional finish.

What is a Liquidator 3.0?

The Liquidator 3.0 is the upgraded version of the original Liquidator, featuring sturdier end clips that lock firmly in place. This improved design prevents any movement of the plastic tips, giving you a more stable, reliable tool during long working days. Many professionals now consider the 3.0 the benchmark for precise, high-speed squeegeeing.

The 3.0 offers enhanced glide, better water removal and improved control, especially on larger panes or when performing advanced fanning techniques. It remains lightweight, easy to handle and ideal for both beginners and experienced cleaners.

What is a Combinator?

The Moerman Combinator is a lightweight, flexible 2-in-1 tool that lets you wash and squeegee without constantly switching equipment. Built on the Liquidator concept, it allows fast, efficient cleaning on houses, shops and office buildings. You can configure it in different ways depending on the job, making it one of the most versatile Moerman tools available.

Advantages:

• Can be set up as a backflip for fast wash-and-squeegee movements.
• Can be turned into a one-pass tool for commercial glass where speed matters.
• Only slightly heavier than a standard squeegee or applicator, so still comfortable for long shifts.
• Reduces tool swaps, helping you finish each window in one smooth sequence.

The Combinator is ideal for cleaners who want speed, control and simplicity in one tool. It’s also excellent for pole work because you don’t need to lift the pole down as often.

What is a F*liq?

The Moerman F*liq is a smart combination tool that integrates a pad with a Liquidator squeegee. It gives you the freedom to wet the glass and squeegee it straight away using a quick flick of the wrist. This makes it extremely efficient for high-volume domestic work or commercial rounds where time-saving is essential.

You wet the window using the pad, then flick it back to reveal the squeegee blade. This creates a smooth, continuous workflow without separate tools.

Advantages over the Wagtail:

• Stronger build quality designed for repeated professional use.
• Pads attach using popper clips—no weak Velcro coming loose.
• Uses the Liquidator channel for superior water control and minimal detailing.

What is an Excelerator?

The Moerman Excelerator handle is designed for precision and advanced manoeuvrability. With a smooth swivel action, it allows cleaners to fan large panes easily, work at sharp angles, and get excellent results even when using a pole. It’s a favourite among professionals who want maximum control without sacrificing speed.

Advantages over the Wagtail:

• More robust and durable construction, ideal for heavy daily use.
• Compatible with Liquidator channels for excellent water removal.
• Allows tight turns, advanced fanning and efficient pole work with reduced strain.

What is an Excelerator 2?

The Excelerator 2 is the updated and improved version of Moerman’s popular Excelerator swivel handle. Designed for professional window cleaners who want maximum precision, speed and control, the Excelerator 2 offers smoother movement, a stronger feel and improved ergonomics. It builds on the strengths of the original while solving the small issues that some cleaners experienced during heavy daily use.

This upgraded model features a refined pivot mechanism that gives you better control when fanning, especially on larger panes or tricky angles. The handle also includes multiple angle settings, allowing you to adjust the tool for straight pulls, advanced fanning, and efficient pole work. Combined with a Liquidator 3.0 channel, the Excelerator 2 delivers extremely clean edges with minimal detailing needed.

Key advantages of the Excelerator 2:

• Smoother swivel action with improved accuracy and handling.
• Enhanced angle-selector system for perfect positioning on any window.
• More durable construction, designed for daily professional use.
• Works perfectly with Liquidator 2.0 and Liquidator 3.0 channels for excellent water removal.
• Better ergonomics for reduced hand and wrist strain during long working days.
• Outstanding for pole work due to predictable movement and secure control.

The Excelerator 2 is ideal for cleaners who use advanced fanning techniques or want a tool that handles awkward angles and tight frames effortlessly. It’s one of the most precise and efficient swivel handles available today.

Moerman tools are designed for modern window cleaners who want cleaner edges, quicker results and dependable equipment that lasts. Whether you choose the Liquidator for precision, the Combinator for versatility, the F*liq for speed or the Excelerator for advanced control, each tool brings real benefits to your daily work.
