Title: lightwieght brush heads
Post by: mark mann on April 25, 2011, 09:46:36 pm

hi all

i have a clx 22 for every day and with got a super lightwight brush head from gardiners with it. loved it on my 4 wkly cleans as moves over glass effortless easy to direct and softer bristle. but since most of my rund are on 6 or 8 weekly im finding the bristles are to sift to agitate some dirt off - i squeegeedownstairs windows off on some to save extra rinsing and notice mush dried on dirt.

so think ill go back to a vikan stiffer bristle but any other ideas guys??

have thought maybe i could drill  some holes in a vikan to lighten it up a bit and i will be changing to an slx to offest heavier brush head as well.

if the windows have already been throughly scrubbed then they should only ever need the minimal amount of scrubbing - other than to remove bird strike.

for long term dried/baked on dirt ( 1st cleans ) i squirt frames with a little tfr and scrub away after that frames and glass only need minimal attention wether they be 4/8/12 wky cleans - just never scrimp on rinsing

rinse rinse then rinse sum more
imo gardiners brushes r the best
on the market
to compare vikan to gardiners is
laughable , sounds to me like you need more
pratice or a bigger tank my friend  ;)

tecbuk's brush you can hold any brush head pressure and still clean
the brush keeps it shape always glides over the window
they come with a pad on now, i use that everyday
mostly on ground floor windows
because you see small blemishes on the glass
it works great, once you have used one
you wont be without it
