Hi,

I’ve had a Flipper Edge cleaner for about 1.5 years now. Lately tho, it doesn’t seem to clean the glass as well as it used to. The biofilm and algae just doesn’t come off properly – I sometimes have to scrub the same spot a few times, and even then it still leaves stuff behind. Swapping blade sides doesn’t really help either.

Is it possible the magnet’s getting weaker over time? Or maybe it’s just time for a new Flipper? Hope not, coz they’re like $100 here in Aus 😅

Thanks

They sell replacement pads and blades for them.
