Title: a new brush but which one ?
Post by: richard groves on April 10, 2014, 09:26:10 pm

In recent years always used gardiners.
Have been using an extreme dual trim medium for the last year or so.
Not overly impressed by its scrubbing power on birds mess.
What do you suggest for good scrubbing power ?, on my round,  spring always sees an increase in nesting gulls with young and more bird poo.
Notice G's now do a hybrid brush with mono outer bristles and flocked inner, are they any good ?

I tried the hybrid (black & blue bristles) , it was the Xtreme version though, didn't get on with it personally after using the Xtreme medium mixed. Gone back to the medium mixed. I think its the best of the lot. Decent scrubbing and light..blah...blah.

XTREME soft hybrid I used medium mixed brushes for about 5 years and new soft  hybrid brush is one to have no real issues with bird muck . Mike

Interesting that Mike. I'll give it another go then. See if I was a little too quick to give up.

Gordon the ungar brush green bristles. Used for many years with warm water and cold, hardly worn out. Gets birds mess off and really hard wearing brush. Downside a little bit heavy. I just bought the Gardiners dual trim to light makes pole to flimsy and not good as you say getting off birds mess spend ages scrubbing and wasting too much water. On the positive side it's light !!!! 👍
