Ashbys Wand Glide for the Ashbys Premium Quality 2 Jet Carpet Cleaning Wand
The Ashbys Wand Glide is designed in‑house and manufactured in the UK for professional carpet and upholstery cleaners who want smoother wand movement, reduced operator fatigue and consistently faster cleaning. Engineered specifically for the Ashbys Premium Quality 2 Jet Carpet Cleaning Wand, this glide delivers a noticeable improvement in day‑to‑day performance.
Smoother, easier wand movement
Made from pure PTFE, the glide has an exceptionally low coefficient of friction. This removes the familiar stick‑slip feeling and allows the wand to travel effortlessly across all carpet types. Less drag means less strain on your back, shoulders and arms, helping you work comfortably for longer.
Protects your wand and extends its lifespan
The glide shields the vacuum slot from abrasion, taking the wear instead of the wand itself. This simple upgrade helps preserve the wand body and keeps your equipment performing at its best.
Built for professional performance
-
Maximum chemical resistance: Pure PTFE is compatible with almost all cleaning solutions.
-
High temperature tolerance: Suitable for steam‑boosted cleaning when used with the V2 SteamMate.
-
ISO‑accredited quality: Manufactured by a longstanding UK supplier working to strict quality standards.
-
Safe and durable: PTFE does not burn and is designed for years of heavy professional use.
Faster cleaning and reduced drying times
The glide improves airflow through the wand, helping you achieve lower drying times while maintaining strong, consistent vacuum performance. Many professionals find they can work twice as fast with noticeably less effort compared to using the wand without a glide.
Quick to fit, easy to remove
The Ashbys Wand Glide clips on and off easily for cleaning or replacement. It is designed to fit all Ashbys 12 inch 2 jet wands, making it a practical everyday upgrade for any professional cleaner.
Fits most major 12 inch 2 jet wands
Although designed specifically for the Ashbys Premium Quality 2 Jet Wand, we have found that this glide also fits most major brands of professional 12 inch 2 jet carpet cleaning wands. The PTFE material can be gently warmed with a hot air gun and shaped by hand, allowing you to achieve a precise fit on many different wands with ease.
This makes the Ashbys Wand Glide a practical upgrade even if you run a mixed fleet of wands or use different tools for different types of work.
