Title: White Dual trim sill brush - fantastic
Post by: LWC on March 02, 2012, 04:49:29 pm
Well all i can say is why i have been wasting my time all these years with the vikan heads.

Im well impressed, cant beleive the weight, i thought maybe theyd been out of stock when i picked up the jiffy bag cause its so light lol...thought i wasnt in there!

I quickly did my windows other day with vikan and to be fair they didnt dry all that well, especially round corners where id rushed, just re done them with new brush and they are mint. Mush better scrubbing power.

Well done gardiners, best brush ive ever used, shoulda switched a long time ago.

Im a die hard harris pole user  ;D

I do appreciate slx, ive seen and used em, and do like them but harris pole £15 a pop, last me 6 months +. Its light, rigid and VERY hard wearing, and ive adapted mine to add sections and it works really well.  :)

The softness makes it glide with ease, also it goes it every nock and cranny much better.
I used the white dual trim for a year or so, good brush, but then tried the black dt, would not swap back for maintainance cleans

What's the sill brush like on higher windows at an angle, ie above conservatories and extensions and 3rd storey dormers set back. I'll shortly be buying slx 30 to make these a bit easier but want to get the most suitable brush, currently use a clx22 with standard black dualtrim.
