Went to order 2 Super-Lite® Brush Dual-Trim - Medium Mixed Bristles there out of stock.
Emailed them and asked when the new stock is coming in and they said they've got manufacturing problems and could possibly be longer than four weeks !!! they recommended the flocked brush.
Any body had any problems with the flocked brushes as i heard that they tend to trap dirt particles and are not suited to rinse on the glass.
Regards

flocked are very good at cleaning but are defo no good to rinse on the glass with.

I tested flocked brushes for rinsing on the glass on several windows at home. The finish just isn't good enough. Small spots everywhere.
You could try sill brushes if they have them in stock.

Mmmm not too keen on sill brushes tbh
-
They haven't got the mixed medium sill brush in stock either
I wanted to order some - out of stock
Email a 3-4 weeks later - back in stock
Ordered them that afternoon
Hour later i get an email - sorry we've just checked the new stock, they're faulty, it'll be another 6 ish weeks
Order cancelled :(
Ended up ordered the stiff sill brush, pleasantly surprised (although not ideal for leaded windows)

I use a stiff sill brush alot as I use hot water. I find it's a very good brush myself.

Apologies for this :(
We are currently out of stock of the Super-Lite DT Medium-Mixed and the Sill Medium-Mixed as we are awaiting supplies of the correct raw bristle material.
This is a supply issue that we are working hard to remedy at the moment. We are hoping that we will have them back on the selves by the end of next week.

Apologies for this. We did indeed get in a new stock of the Sill Medium-Mixed brushes last week however the bristles they were fitted with were too soft and so did not pass our quality checks - this meant that although they had arrived and looked very nice in the warehouse they were not the correct bristles. As stated above this should be sorted by the end of next week.

Nice van for sale though ;D

Alex, I've just put an order in - could the girls chuck in my snap fitting that's sat on someone's desk please?

Not actually ours :) - we are advertising it for one of our Suppliers who have it surplus to current requirements.

If you want to send it my way I'll give you £10 for it ;)

Time to try an alternative. This is how custom is lost, unless alternative is rubbish :o

You're right this is how custom is lost :o
Unfortunately we do not make the bristle material so we are dependent on the suppliers of this bristle type to deliver on time - hasn't happened this time, so our brush factory has had to switch bristle suppliers - should be better in the long run though.
Fortunately for window cleaners there are a lot of brush choices out there so no one's window cleaning business should collapse in the meantime and I'm not after world domination of the brush market ;D
There are another 14 brushes in the range to choose from if it has to be a 'Gardiner' brush.

you could always try this brush

Alex can you help, I've got loads of your brushes but my favourite is the medium mixed extreme however I can't use this on the leaded windows so I use the all black super lite but it's heavy, which of the other extreme brushes are closely matched to the black super lite that I can use on lead?

Hi CWCS
There is not currently an Xtreme brush that would match the Super-Lite Black Flocked brush. However we are releasing several new ranges of brushes early next year and there will be an option then that will be similar to what you need.

Its all about technique i can clean leaded windows with the white/blue Xtreme and the black & white

Nah think i will hold onto it , it may come in for something

Mmmm, might be a good time to sell some of my brushes off.

You could retire if you sold all your "spare" brushes off Dave!! :P

Actually it's a funny old world. I had a leaded property to do the other day and wanted my flocked Superlight but picked up a modified black and blue Extreme instead that was dumped in the back of the van. Worked a treat and even took the snail trails off. I always thought it was crap! ;D

Girls didn't spot the note on my order - never mind.
It was a male and female connector that jammed - I think you freed it as there was nothing wrong with it.
Maybe get it on next months standing order ;D

Apologies for this. It might be worth giving them a call and they can pop them in the post to you. I will also mention it to them when I am next in the Office.

We have just purchased two sill brushes from gardeners and they are the best brush we have used from them and tried most👍

Don't worry about it Alex it's nothing really - I was just too tight to pay the postage so we left it for a later order.
