Title: Soaking Brush Head
Post by: brett walker on November 09, 2005, 05:33:05 pm

Hi everyone

i've been soaking my brush head in pure water every night,
sometimes with a drop of GG4.

Is it nessecary to soak every night ?

thanks in advance

Brett

i dont, never have

i just give it a wipe over with my hand every day, you know, just to get the bits out of the bristles

Peter F said thats what he does, if thats good enough for him, its good enough for me

So scrubbing and soaking two brush heads in pure water each evening; then changing brush heads at lunch time isn't really necessary then?

I'm a Geordie!

a touch over the top i would say ;)

when i started i asked this same question, and as i said Peter F  said he just runs his hand over the brush head to get any of the flakey paint etc etc off, it works well enough for me

then after the weekend when the brush head is dry, i really give it a good going over, this gets all the bits out of it

Surely at the point at which you touch your first window of the day the brush head will then be 'contaminated' with dirt, making the over night soak useless in the first few seconds of the day?

I new to this so don't quote me. I'm still on first cleans and the muck I'm getting off of the frames is horrendous.

When I start my trolley system up on the first window I just rinse the brush head with my hand and do the same on the last window of the day. I sometimes forget the latter as I get excited about going home at the end of my hard day ;D

exactly, but dont spoil it for some of them, they like to think that boiling the brush, then soaking it in bleach, then steam cleaning it every day is a good thing  ;) ;D ;D
