It seems to have more splay in the photo so i'm guessing it could be quite new.

The answer is 1 week!!!!!

All maintenance cleans, no 1st cleans, nothing heavy going...

This is the brush I had as a replacement to another one I had for about a month, which was losing bristles.

The question is, how long will it last?!

For one of the most expensive brushes on the market, it's far from what I would expect.

Its like it's made of playdoh, and the bristles are frightened of touching glass, so the curl up or spread away from it.

We bought a few of those, nothing wrong with them at all if your after a cheap super lite.

Bring back the old ones that weren't splayed and sell them as well as the current ones  :) Old ones may not have as much scrubbing power as the new ones but were better for georgian windows. If I wanted scrubbing power I'd use a Tucker brush.

Some 'shiners' don't treat their brushes (or other equipment) with enough care. For instance - if you leave brushes with the bristles resting  on the van floor (or against another item of equipment) the bristles will become permanently deformed. Also, I think that prolonged direct sunlight/heat are bad for bristles.

I think that picture is shocking. That sticker shouldn't peel like that - contact Gardiners pronto!

the bristles are a slightly better on mark 1 but i prefer the mark 2 slayed bristles work far better when cleaning in tight spots ie. down the side of conny's
