Self-explanatory, really. What type of brush do you chiefly use?
-
Unflocked, better flow through bristles, less dirt retension. Rinse on the glass. For first cleans I use my Flocked Dual Trim super lite because of it's superior scrubbing power. I still rinse with the brush on the glass then , but you need to slow down the brush movement on the rinse.
For everyday work I use a Mono Xtreme (medium)

mono

dt flocked for me
-
Gardiners dual trim flocked (black) for maintanance cleans
Gardiners dual trim unflocked (white) for conny roofs/ gutter/ soffits
All with blue fan jets
Also all our poles have the quick release gadgets on them, for a change over in seconds, from errrr Mr Gardiner ;D
Plus the poles are slx 18 (mrs pole), slx 22 ,slx 30 from, ah you gussed it :)

Used to be Gardiners flocked dt standard splay (nice brush) then tried soft dt sill brush (black) which is mono and stuck with it as I like to clean the sills. Both good brushes.
Not sure what the new dt mono is like. I was unimpressed by the older versions of the dt mono. Did not scrub well.

I'm interested as I'm considering a move from flocked to unflocked - look slike unflocked are well in the majority; may well join them.

The gardiners superlight DT flocked brush has LOADS of scrubbing power,.. use it on really dirty gutters & you'll soon notice the difference.
I use a mixture. Mostly unflocked as I find it glides smoother & easier over the glass, but on firs cleans & pvc cleaning jobs the flocked brush wins every time. I guess I'm the opposite of Bad Trippy - which can only be a good thing really! ;D ;D

at the moment we use duel trim mono's
used to use duel trim flocked till Alex changed something on them which was a shame as them brushes were the best I have ever used to date.
using the duel trim mono on first cleans and getting great feedback so far so will stick with them for now.

Was it the splay angle? You can get them in 15 degree and 0 degree splay versions.
