over the last few weeks i decided to try my black soft extreme brush from gardiners again.first impressions a few months ago was that it was a bit too weedy for my liking.i kept knocking it against the frames and was having difficulty cleaning sills.
anyway my sl dt flocked is getting a bit worn now and my mono is used for fascia/soffit/conny roof cleaning so i thought id give it a few weeks on my slx.
what a revelation!!its so light im cleaning awkward windows with ease!!virtually no strain on shoulders at all!!the scrubbing ability is good.the bevelled edge is great for stubborn bird muck as well.
for regular maintenance cleans its great IMO.
the only thing is i dont think itll last more than a few months before having to order a new one but itll be worth it just for the ease of use and much less strain.
how are you guys getting on with the radius sill brush?is it the same weight as the extreme?
i prefer the softer brushes as they are excellent on leaded and delicate wooden windows as well as standard plastic windows.
the weight is 165g i think(extreme brush).what a difference a few grams lighter makes during my working day!
i think its very important to keep strain to a minimum so we all have less chance of RSI.

i have tried all the cill brushes, the black is too soft red (stiff) is good for first cleans and gutters, my current fav is the dual trim white one, i changed to the old style fan jets and its great, get the white cill dual trim brush

What daz will do is get the resi neck think it's rubbish then a few months later say it's the best thing ever, that is the patter with daz ;D

Got the Stiff cill brush this is brilliant (after you get use to it) i have started rinsing brush on what a difference saves time water and effort.

now all youve got to do is get rid of the aqua-dapter,
and you'll be amazed how easy your working day will become.

The pole is much nicer without an aquadaptee, but it's worth putting up with it for the added benefits and it make my day easier with it on that without it.

took mine off for a couple of days when the spring snapped and hated it, hated having to pick the tap up off the floor to turn the flow off and hated wasteing gallons and gallons of water which ends up on the floor and not on the glass

Why pick the tap off the floor,
I have mine with a key hasp and a carabina on my belt loop.
Tap easily to hand and instantly able to disconect from my belt

same here,but in recent months i have picked the tap up off the ground,i have found it saves a fair bit of time,use more water though.
My Mrs still uses her carabina

I've started doing the same as Tosh. Have a nice soft pole hose, run it outside the pole and just fold the hose over when you want to stop the flow. It takes a bit of practice,at first you keep dropping the hose but after a few days it's much easier than other methods. No bending over every time you want to turn on/off, no added weight from a device at the brush end of the pole.
One other benefit is less dirt up the inside of the pole.

that doesnt save water tho as it creates pressure and it spits out double fast when you let go to get rid of the pressure
