Title: cobweb brush
Post by: Smurf on May 18, 2016, 10:39:54 pm
Does anyone on hear use a cobweb brush?

I pick this up at homebase as thought it might come in handy for work http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/unger-cob-web-duster-570424

I've not tried it out yet but may do tomorrow weather permitting.

That doesn't look like a brush that's made out of cobwebs.

I think homebase are telling you porkies.

That much. I take it you used instore credit.

Stupid question maybe, but is it for insides or outsides?

For outsides I remove cobwebs with the brush - the one that's already on the pole.

I'm going to try it out tomorrow on outsides to remove cobwebs before get anything wet.

God you guys are willing to try any old c@rp sometimes....

I have unger versions of the homebase item, don't rate it for outside work but works well for internal dusting.

This is good for heavy duty work...

Bit more of a H&S risk dusting off cobwebs in Australia that it would be here I'd imagine. I'd want a full hazmat suit.

Fascinating.

You know I learnt earlier that we have yellow-tailed scorpions in the UK, I never knew that, but this video beats that on educational grounds alone, let alone the adrenaline rush I got from watching how to dust off cobwebs. Thank you so much.

I, sometimes, use a cobweb brush - especially in the autumn when the spiders are busy. This is probably the best one that I've tried.

I tried my chepo 3.99 one today and I must say worked really well to my suprise.

Thanks for the link as I was pondering to get that type too as you can never have enough cobweb brushes methinks now.  ;D

I have to say now after giving it good trial on jobs that cobweb brush is one of the best things I've bought for yonks. It's so good I'm going to get a few more as I have a habit of losing stuff.

As regards to add-ons yes you can defo earn a few quid from offering a cobweb removal service too  ;D
