When you pick up the individual product components for the first time, they make a good impression.
The mechanism and the joint at the end of the puller work perfectly and look stable .
In terms of stability, the anchoring of the foam lip is also impressive: the lip is firmly anchored to the plastic component and appears robust.
The threads on the individual rods are neatly finished and fulfil their function. They can be screwed together without any problems.
The seller does not provide any further information on sustainability .

The floor squeegee from the Navira brand was subjected to an extensive practical test.
The squeegee is impressive right from the assembly of the individual product components: the individual parts of the handle are easy to assemble. The threads interlock well and the product can be used within a minute.
The dimensions of the handle are designed so that it can be used by hands of different sizes. The handle sits comfortably in the hand and the squeegee is easy to guide over surfaces.
When this product is pulled across a wet bathroom floor, the rubber lip immediately removes the water residue , leaving behind a clean, only slightly damp floor that dries very quickly.
The rubber lip carries the water along cleanly and leaves no residue at any point, so the liquid is removed evenly.
With regard to the noise generated when stripping, it should be noted that very quiet stripping is possible and almost no noise can be heard. The noise is so low that no points are deducted.
Overall, the Navira floor squeegee is a very effective household helper that reliably removes liquids and is also easy to fit .
