without a doubt...medium mixed extreme and its the cheapest!!!
-
Paul, what do you want it for? General every day 4 weekly cleans or are you cleans longer/shorter? Also do you want it for 1st cleans an conny cleans facia cleans and the like?
-
ste just general maintenance cleans 4 weekly domestic :D
-
I'd go with the extreme medium mixed too. I've tried quite a few including sill brush (just can't get on with it!). I like to have a choice and a change now and then, but I like the extreme mixed the best. It's lighter, does an excellent job on the glass. Most of my round is domestic cleans at 4wkly. I think you'll like it well. It is also well matched with the carbon gooseneck if you're using the slx.
-
and the extreme medium mixed is in the lead now as we head for the final few furlongs can it hold on ;D ;D ;D
-
WIDE extreme medium mixed! YES for Domestic!When the corners wear you can simply cut it down a bit at a time, you can get twice as long use out of it. ;)
Plus you hardly notice the extra width.
-
yes
extreme thingy all the way
i have two on two poles(of course,not on one pole ???)
but have just ordered a sill brush to try it out

Good luck with the sill brush bob. ;D I just couldn't get on with it! I've been using the extreme mixed and thought I'd try a sill brush, it seems, on the pole, to be top heavy and cumbersome to me :o I've switched back to my extreme medium mixed again, much prefer it.
-
kentclean how wide is the wide , my brodex brush was 10 inch , my facelift was 12 inch , and i couldnt go to less than 12 inch now , are gardners 10 or 12 inch and then how many inches extra is wide thanx ps i only deal in inches by the way ;D ;D
-
ive got to white ones with the red inner bristles feck knows what he calls it I dont know if they even sell it anymore seems to change his brushes more than I change mi undys ;D

Marmite comes to mind ;D
i must admit i think its a 50/50 split when talking to windys regarding these types of brush the same as hot water heaters---(omg why did i mention that hope i dont start another debate) :D
-
13 inch and a bit. its nice on domestics, went back to an old normal sized extreme and it just seemed wrong lol ;D
-
without a doubt...medium mixed extreme and its the cheapest!!!
I agree ;)

The dual flock supa lite gets my vote
-
well it looks like gav has thrown the cat amongst the pigions , maybe the duel flock can come with a late flourish as we aproach the finish line ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
The dual flock supa lite gets my vote
yep thats the one i keep going back to, i have the extremes too
but the dt flocked is the best IMO 8)

I find the Vikan sill brush unbeatable. Cleans the whole frame, the glass and the sills. No brainer really.
-
Iv ad extremes but the dt supa lite
Is king IMO
Vikan on a clx/ slx is a no no
Too heavy a brush n old hat

I think you have got the meaning of the term "no brainer" confused with "you would have to be insane to use one"
-
mixed Xtreme for maintenance cleans. Flocked dual Superlight for first cleans. Avoid Vikans at all costs.
-
Vikings, I thought thay where long gone!!
-
In my experience the Vikan flocked cleans better and quicker.
-
Might be worth bearing in mind - taken from Gardiners site. Might not approve of overweight vikan brushes.
" Any modifications or adaptations or fitting of non-approved accessories (brushes etc) render the above guarantee null and void."
-
That would also include fitting an aqua-daptor then.
