SYR are a bit of a pain because they come wrapped in a plastic wrapper; they're not exactly a food product are they?

I've tried a lot of different rubbers and given the cost to quality ratio, Pulex  are good.

If pulex are hard and ettore soft then you need soft rubbers if your regular say 2-4 weeks but hard edged rubbers if your a 6-8 week cleaner in a rural enviroment ?

For what it's worth we couldn't get on with them.
Perhaps it's just user technique.

Pulex are good and cheap. Also, they're a fraction deeper/higher? than ungers. In theory, they could be recut/shaved when blunt - can't think of a good/precise enough way to do it though.

Use ettore  and nothing else the soft rubber beads into the glass, found pulex hard and glides on the glass- result very little cleanup after sweegee

I use Pulex soft and they work fine. If you were on this forum a few years ago you would hove found endless discussions about which rubbers were best. Never did decide but I have to say it sure confused me at the time.

SCS
 Hard rubbers for tough 2 monthly grime (they cut thro it better)soft ones for regular 2-4 weekly. ie Pulex are fairly hard edged and last, soft ones slip better for more often cleaned windows.
Better not start talking about London Rubbers  :)
