Title: Gardiners cill brush reveiw
Post by: GB Window Cleaning on June 02, 2012, 09:58:07 am
AWESOME

i love it its not much heavier than the sl extreme ive been using before this. i went for the soft bristles cos ive been using medium for a year so wanted to test the soft

ive gota say the soft takes a few days to get used to but it seems to do just as good a job to be honest. i like the cill brush mainly because i dont have to adjust angles as much (i use the plastic angle adapter) and it saved having to be very carefull not to touch the cills with the brush stock!

oh yes i also went for the dual trim, as it was soft i thought if i need more scrubblting power i just put on more pressure! (which works well so far)

so yeah thanks gardiners for yet another top product!

Good to hear george was debating wether to get a sill brush for first cleans and a couple of commercial jobs i have but was going to get a medium single trim so it would be good for scrubbing gutters as well .  Mike

Good brushes generally.  A lot easier cleaning sills without changing angles .  Softer bristled ones seem to go out of shape pretty soon though.  Still very usable.

An Outstanding brush. Very hard wearing light and effective. I wouldn't use anything else!!

Well done Gardiners yet again.

I tried one when they 1st came out, BUT 4 those that are used 2 using vikan mono sill brush - which is VERY heavy, but bomb proof & good scrub power, plus u can swipe v dirty sills, and just flick the dirt off! (rinsing off glass!) I found changing wasnt 4 me be BCOS, although the gardiners c brush is v v lite! THE jets of water (FOR ME) shoot 2 high for those that are used 2 using the vikan!! I even thought about drilling the jet holes central, because i liked it that much!, but this would have been hard to get the angle perfect? So i just stayed with the good old HEAVY work horse - It would be good if alex g could do a central jet option, because i WOULD buy them!! NB: Best poles though!

Great topic. We too have done a Gardiner sill brush review for the Window Cleaning magazine. I have had a window cleaner send one in. I have got it myself too now and I have started using it last week :)

I love it. Its a lot smaller than my other Lite brush that came with my gardiner pole. It takes a bit of getting used to. At first you don't think your scrubbing the glass with it well because of its curved bristle. Its a start.

Thing is pure water likes to hang around on the sill and dirt flying around in it like a snow dome or locked in the water will hang around on the sill too. When you add this with not being able to see if you have cleaned that 1st floor window sill enough it kinda begs the question is it cleaning it perfcetly? I need to take a look at a top sill after I have done it. Will do my house this weekend with it and look at this more closley.

MAC74  when the water jets are set to high does this make the rinse more difficult i am still undecided whether to get one i dont want to find it more of a chore to clean windows , Mike

I find the jets perfect for rinsing on, being set higher, and angled slightly upwards does a brilliant job, I fine tune this by moving slightly closer to the building I am cleaning, then the pure water is the last thing to touch window, and the Brissells  pull any bits down, you just need to adapt your technique to suit.
