Title: cleaning cloths - help!
Post by: julianbiggs on July 08, 2010, 06:42:39 am
We've always used the cleaning cloths called BRBRB's cause they have a blue,red,blue,red,blue stripe on them. Hopefully that makes sense to some of your guys.  Theyre relatively heavy duty cleaning cloths.

Our supplier has gone bust and we cant seem to find these anywhere.

Can anyone tell us where we can get BRBRB cleaning cloths ??

Ta!

Current tds=230ish temp>23-30 deg (in shed) then into HF5=4040> tds=7 then into 1st DI(1) tds=0 then into DI(2) tds=0. Water choked down to 50psi which seems to be my best working pressure.

All these figures change depending on temp, recent rainfall etc, etc.

HF5-4040 1st into operation April 2009.

Well on topic there dave!

Not seen those specific cloths, but I get real good quality ones from www.microfibreireland.com myself. I'm sure he'll post over the water if you ask nice! :)

Have i missed something here.. My question was simple.. It was about cleaning cloths.

We didnt need ( or ask for )  all that WFP BS...

We're guessing it's an indirect way of having a dig at trad wc's..

Dont forget..Without 50 years of trad wc's you wfp boys wouldnt be here...

I havnt rammed trad down your throat so dont do it to us!

He posted in the wrong topic, that's why.

Don't forget, wfp was "invented" by irv Tucker more then 50 years ago. A patent for a waterfed brush went as far back as the 1800's.  :P  ;)  :D

To stay on topic, never seen those ones, but the blue microfibre cloths that windowcleaningwarehouse sells are fantastic.

Sorry to hijack,

Nathanael and Tim, are the cloths you use on a par with the large green Unger ones cause i've been using them for trad work but they're very expensive in comparison to the ones you're suggested.

Cheers,
Lance

They are better in my opinion, unfortunately they still aren't cheap.

The ones from microfibreireland.com (Make sure you get the glass cloths, not the normal ones!) are on par in my opinion,.. and a fraction of the price of the unger ones.

Easy tiger.
Had you had a bad day. It was obvious thats a reply in the wrong section. Your reply was a bit strong!
Good luck with your towel search.

Hey, Hey...I'm sorry to have caused problems...I posted by mistake on the wrong topic....I have only just seen it..does'nt seem like deleting it would make sense.

Sorry to cause offence but your reply was a little hot...just a question was your reply defending the collective 'us, we're and we?'

Dave.
