If anyone ever comes across one I will buy it.

Post by: mark shannon on November 17, 2013, 11:09:33 am: Seriously surely a decent selection of handheld brushes and a good handtool is easier quicker and just as efective as negotiating a rotary on stairs?

Post by: qginsburg on November 17, 2013, 04:32:56 pm: A brush has worked pretty well for me !

Post by: Carpet Dawg on November 17, 2013, 06:25:39 pm: A manual brush is fine. Your problem is that your using microsplitters. Stairs are a high traffic area, MS's will just tickle the dirt.

Post by: Derek_Walker on November 17, 2013, 07:15:57 pm: Floormac for me, an efficient means of cleaning stairs. Use the terry bonnet and it will clean the nosings without flying off the drive board.
Jamie I have a cimex amigo sitting in my garage.

Post by: Derek_Walker on November 17, 2013, 08:38:44 pm: Jamie, I think I have 2 sets of brushes and I set of pad holders with it. But I will need to check to make sure I can still lay my hands on them, and check that is still in working order. I will contact you to discuss it during the week.
