Title: Filtration marks scrub brush
Post by: Mike Halliday on February 24, 2013, 07:59:26 pm: anyone got one of these brushes? could they be used to scrub right into the skirting boards to remove filtration marks without me getting on my knees. the handle spins rounds so it runs laterally.

do the bristles go to a point?

Ive just seen these too, a good price.

Tried the towel with some pog on it,but no difference.

Post by: mark_roberts on February 25, 2013, 09:46:26 pm: So you give a quote over the phone and arrive to clean and theres bad filtration marking around the whole room.

What do you do?

Explain what it is, do a demo, charge more?
Just clean them at no extra charge?

Or other?

It can really add time to a job cleaning filtration marks?

Also whats your prefered chems these days.

Post by: Mike Halliday on February 27, 2013, 12:53:31 pm: just to let you know you they arrives today and they seem to be brilliant!! they scrub in to the skirting board excellently the bristle come to a point so they get right in, just scrubbed around my house and they work great, my pile is quite long so they need a bit of elbow grease. I can't wait to find some filtration marks to give them a thorough test.

what is not clear is the are only about 12inches long.

buy 2 you won't regret it

Post by: John Kelly on February 27, 2013, 08:28:20 pm: We had never thought of these being used for this as we sell them as grout brushes. However some customers have told is they do use them for edging and filtration lines.
Nearly half the price and come with a handle.

Post by: Mike Halliday on February 27, 2013, 08:34:51 pm: john are you saying I could have bought 2 of them from you for £9 with handles and delivery?
