Title: Cimex brushes
Post by: Mike Halliday on January 28, 2017, 04:10:02 pm

Who sells stiff brushes for Cimexs? I have these brushes fitted but they are too soft. I want to use it to scrub in pre-spray

You can get yellow ones for hard floor, not sure if suitable for wool though

Far as I'm aware they only do soft  shampoo and hard floor brushes. You could try two whites  brushes with a pad drive .

You would need the cr38 brush set:
There are three types of brush,
Truvox Cimex Cyclone Shampoo Brushes (WHITE) (38cm) 11-1607-0500 (which are the ones you have)
Truvox Cimex Cyclone Standard Scrub Nylon (WHITE) (38cm) 11-1605-0500 (stiffer nylon brush)
Truvox Cimex Cyclone Medium Scrub Polyprop (YELLOW) (38cm)11-1604-0500 (really stiff)
 ( all listed here (http://www.buycleaningsuppliesonline.co.uk/manufacturer/48/cimex) )
In addition there are drive pad holders and wire brushes in various grades

Thanks for the  replies,

 David thanks for the link, I think I will order  a set of the stiff & the very stiff brushes.

Be careful I had some for my previous cimex and the stiff brushes wouldn't move on the carpet and pulled the belt off.

I can't remember Mike perhaps a bit of concrete scrubbing may help

You want the nylon floor scrubbing brushes.
Brush number 4.
Buy a set of shampoo brush diffusers and you can still tank feed.
We use these on all commercial carpet and keep the shampoo brushes for rugs.
