Description:
The Petworx 2-in-1 Floating Magnet Cleaner is a simple, clever tool that takes the hassle out of one of the most routine aquarium maintenance tasks, keeping your glass spotless. Using a strong magnetic coupling between an internal brush and an external handle, you can glide the scrubber across the inside of your tank walls without ever putting your hands in the water.
What sets this cleaner apart is its floating inner magnet. If the two pieces ever separate during use, the internal brush rises to the surface rather than sinking into your substrate, a small but important detail that protects your aquascape, livestock, and tank bottom from accidental damage.
Built with durable stainless steel components and non-scratch cleaning pads, it's effective against soft algae, biofilm, and general build-up on both glass and acrylic aquarium surfaces. The strong magnetic grip ensures consistent contact with the glass as you work, making light work of routine maintenance and reducing the need for deep manual scrubbing over time.
Available in Medium, Large, and Extra Large to suit tanks of varying sizes. Selecting the right size ensures the magnet strength is well-matched to your glass thickness for optimal performance.

How the 2-in-1 Floating Magnet Cleaner Compares
🧲 2-in-1 Floating Magnet Cleaner
- 🧲Cleans From Outside the Tank: The external handle controls the internal cleaning pad through the aquarium glass, keeping your hands dry.
- 🌊Floats if Separated: The internal cleaning section floats back to the surface if the magnets become separated, making it easier to retrieve.
- 🧽2-in-1 Cleaning Design: Combines magnetic glass cleaning with an integrated scraper edge for tackling different types of algae and buildup.
- 📏Helps Reach Aquarium Glass: The magnetic design lets you clean the inside surface while controlling the cleaner from outside the aquarium.
- 🖐️Less Hands-On Maintenance: You don't need to place your hand or a separate scraper directly into the aquarium every time the glass needs cleaning.
🧽 Traditional Algae Scraper
- 🖐️Requires Access to the Tank: Cleaning the inside glass generally means placing the scraper into the aquarium by hand.
- 💧Hands Get Wet: Reaching into the aquarium can mean getting your hands and arms wet during routine glass cleaning.
- 🧹Separate Cleaning Tool: A conventional scraper focuses on scraping algae rather than combining magnetic cleaning with a floating internal section.
- 📍Manual Positioning: The scraper must be moved directly against the aquarium glass from inside the tank.
- 🔧More Hands-On Work: Regular glass cleaning requires direct access to the inside of the aquarium rather than controlling the cleaner from outside.
The floating inner magnet is the feature that makes this one worth stocking over generic alternatives. A magnet cleaner that sinks into your substrate when the pieces separate can scratch your tank bottom, damage plants, and stress livestock. The Pet Worx design eliminates that risk entirely, and the non-scratch pads make it safe for acrylic as well as glass.
For best results, clean your glass before a water change so any dislodged algae can be siphoned out along with the water change. Always check that the cleaning pad is free of trapped substrate particles before use, a small piece of gravel or sand caught between the pad and the glass is the most common cause of surface scratches. Rinse both components thoroughly after each session to keep the pads in good condition and extend the life of the cleaner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I choose?
Medium suits standard glass thickness on most mid-sized aquariums, Large is designed for thicker glass and larger tanks, and Extra Large is for heavy-duty cleaning on very large aquariums with thick panels. Choosing the correct size ensures the magnet has enough strength to clean effectively without slipping.
Is it safe for acrylic tanks?
Yes. The cleaning pads are non-scratch and safe for both glass and acrylic aquariums.
What happens if the two pieces separate while I'm using it?
The internal cleaning section is designed to float, meaning it will rise to the surface instead of sinking into substrate. This helps prevent damage to aquascapes, plants, and livestock, and makes it easy to retrieve.
Will it scratch my glass?
Not under normal use. Scratches are most commonly caused by trapped sand or gravel between the pad and glass, so always check the cleaning surface before use.
When is the best time to clean the glass?
Just before a water change so any loosened algae or debris can be removed during water extraction.
