Title: 35cm extreme for domestic
Post by: alank on April 04, 2018, 03:25:27 pm
I've just ordered some new 35cm extreme medium mixed brushes with 4x fan jets anyone currently using them for domestic maintenance cleans what's your opinion as opposed to using the standard size extreme with two jets?

Been using a 14" ultimate stiff with 4 red fans and its a good brush, I like rinsing on with it.

Yeah I rinse on aswel would you say your water usage has gone up or remained about the same do you think it's any quicker using a wider brush?

The water does seem to go a bit quicker, but I think its because I'm not used to rinsing on so I probably take longer.

I use one with 8 jets on commercial and a slightly cut down one with 6 jets which fits the small windows just perfect on domestics occasionally. Lovely light brushes

Should be delivered tomorrow and see how they go ;D when I first started rinsing on it did appear to take slightly longer but now rinse is just second nature just part of the wash really and is much quicker once you do it all the time I think the problem was after years of rinsing with the brush off the glass I needed to be confident that leaving the brush on the glass would still give good results so just persevere with it Paul it's easier on muscles and joints aswel  ;D

All you need now  Daz is PPB water , everybody knows its far superior to PPM water , i reckon you could shave another 30 minutes off with the wonder juice  ;D

I got two last week and we like them so looks like I had better order some more or look for a equivalent brush of that size ie lightweight and suitable for rinsing on any recommendations anyone  ;D
