I've been using a Gardiners 18" brush for some of my regular domestics this week.
Surprised no-one has spoken about this before. It 'eats' standard windows, and patio doors particularly, in a matter of seconds. It's quite comical.

Good idea.
That's worth a try.

Trouble is that my eyes don't see that wide.
One of the local lads has a wide brush but the only one I've seen him use is a Supreme brush.

I placed an order on Friday for some stuff from Gardiners. Wish I'd ordered one.

I bought them for this job in Hackney because of the amount of large paned glass I. initially figured 4 full days for two of us but hope these'll knock a day off that. The amount of glass we cover now will be dependant on water production not scrubbing efficiency. It'll be an interesting experience to see how it all pans out.
I'll probably upgrade one of the pumps to a 10 litre jobbie and 8mm hose.

Been using a wide brush with 4 jets for years, less work on arms and when I get a small window where it doesn't fit I just angle the brush, I got mig welding tips from machine mart which fit perfectly for the jets :)

Out of interest, where's the job you'll be doing in Hackney?
If it's between next Sat and the following Wed, I might come and harass you and tell you what a cr*p job you're doing.

Yes there the ones, using 1mm jets gives better Force on the window as with 2mm I don't feel its enough, I use my pump on half thus saving water too which equals longer working :)

I used to use fan jets years ago but using 4 X 1mm jets is far better for rinsing in my opinion

Yeh doesn't take much tbh

Strange, some guys reckon fitting 3mm jets gives more rinsing yet you're the opposite.
I'll have to experiment one day. Up 'till now I would have thought bigger jets were the way to go. ???

When I first started with pole 10 years ago I was using 4mm jets I think and I hated it and switched to fan jets then Gardiner's made the wide brush and I switched to them, don't think I'll ever change again, everyone has there own preference I guess lol
-
what are the size of the jets they use on gardiners brushes as general set-up,
never thought of machine mart.
are they the same size thread.
