Title: Widest brush head.
Post by: Tosh on July 27, 2016, 11:26:27 am

As a matter of course now I use an 18" wide brush head, using anything less seems like it's just a toothbrush on the end of the pole.

I'm finally starting a large commercial on London in about 4 weeks with lots of large panes. What is the widest brush on the market? Is there a 60cm brush?

Kind regards.

Matt

With a wider brush, do you find there's a noticeable  difference on scrubbing power, due to less pressure because of the larger surface area?
I clean a lot of panels and find the wider brushes useless when there's any dirt to be removed. Even though they're marketed for 'solar'.

I made sure I bought Gardiner brushes with softer bristles for this reason. Ive never had a problem on getting them to splay.

I know, it has 30 nozzles I believe.

Alex Gardiner, what do you know about bigger brushes? Your max is 45cm, have you got a two footer lurking unused somewhere in the recesses of your office that needs a run-out for a week?

If someone owned one of those 3' things they could rent it out, £10 a day.

You just unscrew the socket and screw on a Gardiners one.

Anyone wants to try a bigger brush, I have a 45cm Gardiners one on Ebay.  Used for five minutes, no reserve, 99p starting price.

Oh, okay, thanks. I think I'll leave it then. Good luck though, it looks a great brush.
