Post by: duncan h on March 12, 2018, 09:41:59 pm
Why is it some brushes are ok to rinse on the glass and others not

As in mono-filament versus flocked?

Its about the flowof water through the bristles and the ability to trap dirt etc

Rinsing on the glass, will leave bristle marks, not on all but some windows, it’s dodgy in my view

High flow and Xtreme stiff works well for me on commercial. (Rinse on)

For domestic I rinse off anyway.

What’s the difference between commercial and residential?
How come you rinse on but not with residential?

Any brush will rinse on glass, flocked brushes trap dirt even though they scrub better.  Decent flow of water and good technique will allow any brush to rinse on glass.

Surely you can only leave brush marks if there was dirt left on the glass?

I’m more careful with my domestic, don’t know why!
