Why do windex spray bottles have a "stream" mode for the nozzle?
Question:Seriously, why? You know what I mean, you turn the nozzle and you can make a stream that goes like 8 feet. Why do you need this? If you can't reach a window any closer than that, you can't wipe it to clean it. And the stream isn't powerful enough to knock of debris completely, for distance cleaning, so really...what's the point?
Answers:
This type of nozzle is common to several different types of product and it wasn't believed necessary to alter the design of the nozzle for one specific product. The Brit equivalent of Windex is Windolene
If you make a nozzle that is adjustable (to go on various liquids) the extreme adjustment will be a stream. I suppose they could block the stream, but one more complication.
Also, there is a tool called a squeegee which commonly used on a pole to take liquids off of glass. Of course, it is commonly used with a soggy sponge but there is no reason it couldn't be used to take off Windex.
I like the other answers, but ... here's a thought.
When I worked for a cleaning company I was taught to NEVER spray the cleaner directly on the glass, crucially important when cleaning cracked surfaces, old/antique items, fingerprints from fishtanks (okay, you shouldn't ever use a cleaner like this there anyway) and glassed-over art. The stream function gives you more cleaner, faster. Instead of several squirts, one good one and you're set.
