Xtreme stiff, great scrubbing power and its low weight makes FSG jobs a lot handier.

Never tried a stiff brush for GFS.. Might give it a go.

I've found sill brushes are great for GFS cleans.

Really? I would've expected everyone to say a stiff sill brush , as there's more bristles to get rid of all the green stuff on the gutters  ???

+ 1
I've also started using this on first cleans.
I mainly use gardiners fan jets for fsg cleans. Fit both then you have the option.

Unger cobweb brush is what I used today on a 2 storey full exterior job to lightly brush over whilst applying a soft wash mix on FSG's, apex barge boards & soffits, window frames, glass, conservatory roof etc. The chem. does all the work so no real scrubbing power required…

Was dead easy to use as is hardly any weight to it and also gets in all the nooks and crannies too. Then once all the crap was rinsed down with tap waterI just went over again with wfp on all the windows and doors using pure water.

Talk about shiny windows or what  ;D ;D

I tend to use gardiner sill brushes myself. Either the stiff dt or fully flocked.
I'm sure Alex will be launching a new range  of brushes soon anyway in direct competition to the so say turbo jet hyped up blue one with side bristles on bookfarce as our Alex don’t miss a trick. ;D

Fully flocked bristle type brushes including the unger cobweb brush I find tend to be much better for plastics etc as there is more direct contact of the bristles when agitating. Not only that they will hold in more chem too if say you dip the brush in a bucket to apply.
