Hi Gazza

Which brush do you have and how long have you had it?

Perhaps send me the details and also a photo to alex@agardiner.co.uk

Moustached one, I believe this thread was for non Gardiner brushes as they were unhappy about said products.

Must we hijack and promote ourselves on every wc forum on the planet?

 ;D Many apologies - you mentioned super light brushes and I presumed you were referring to our best selling super-lite brush range. One good thing is that when I post everyone can see my affiliation and my moustache. I don't know who you are or your supplier affiliations - I also don't know if you have a moustache, apologies if you're a female.   :)

Hi WW and MP

They may be coming out even sooner - end of next week. One is a medium mixed Xtreme and the other is a semi-flocked Xtreme. Both 140g.

Well done for having a sense of humour. As an answer to your thinly veiled dig, I have good reason for not posting under my name. I would not want employees, or even customers for that matter reading my thoughts on a public forum (what would Richy Wilts employee think if he read some of his comments!). Anonymity gives a little freedom to speak freely.

I will tell you I've been a window cleaner for 13 years+ and a customer at Gardiners. I have a few friends who are suppliers, a few that manufacture and a lot more that are window cleaners. Very few with the lesser spotted moustache, unless its the chopper reed/hulk hogan style that sometimes appears.

Ever heard of a glass fibre being more rigid and lighter than the  clx, a lot happening in the next two months I've heard.

What on earth does this have to do with brushes or moustaches?

Fibre glass lighter and with more lateral rigidity than carbon fibre this I have to see ;D

Alex, I know you listen and act upon what us cleaners say so is there any chance you could do a wide duel trim please. My friend has a wide extreme and its brilliant but we used it at 50ft the other day and its also a maint clean and as good as they are i thought a duel trim wide brush would be great for comercial work like what we were doing.

Do you have anything in the pipeline along these lines?

It would very easy for me to have produced a wide Xtreme in the new medium mixed DT - I think that this could work well. Does this sound like the sort of thing you would be interested in?
Title: Re: Who does superlight brushes other than gardiners?
Post by: Ste M on April 21, 2012, 10:44:22 pm
Yes please, basically its for the big comercial jobs where you clean non-stop for 8 hours, by having a larger brush then you could get through the work a hell of a lot quicker, the extreme is a surprisingly good brush but due to some comercials going longer between cleans it means we have more muck to remove. The current extreme isnt meant for this type of work whereas the DT feels better, especially when i run hot through it.

Thanks for the reply and for listening, top bloke Alex ;D

spooky this thread ;)

i would love an extreme medium dual trim in a wider format. ( white outer bristles /red inner bristles ) i think thats it name.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY as i do a few multi storeys where this would be perfect during 5hrs of scrubbing "feels like a proper job then lol".
as i am sure it would be awesome on Domestics too.

There is defo a need for a wide super light with stiffer bristles.
Title: Re: Who does superlight brushes other than gardiners?
Post by: Ste M on April 21, 2012, 11:05:10 pm
the wider the better for comercial, i think we could easily control a 18inch brush at height, any bigger than that and i would effect how the poles moves side to side in my opinon, at 50 ft you need to have a good bit of control, im sure Alex will come up with something though

I've have been hoping one of these would be released for our commercial.... 0 degree DT would be choice,

I would like to see a better soft sill brush, I think that it's too soft and am sick of the bristles getting stuck in the frames BUT i do like to use the brush. A sill brush with the s/l flocked bristles would be the best brush. I have never had any bristles come out of my black s/l and never seen a bad word posted about them. ;)

anyone think sill x black s/l would be good ???

yes, wait till June to order, there will be more choice, and you will not be paying for suppliers to sit on forums all day, only be paying for the brush!
