Title: Frame scrubber
Post by: Davew on May 13, 2007, 03:22:23 pm
In my quest to find an old scrubber to help with my first cleans I think I've found the solution. I've sourced a Vileda Bath Magic scrubbing pad from Wilkinsons. It screws onto the pole end or gooseneck, has a 360 degree swivel (even better perhaps than Gaz's if it was bigger) is as light as a feather, can be loaded with upvc cleaner, has a scourer that might work on glass and can be rotated to clean sills. I reckon I could even fit a jet to the pole shaft to wash down afterwards just wish that pis*istant rain would stop!

Been using it for a few weeks now and it's perfect for getting those grey water marks from the sill edges. I've got it mounted to the end of a spare top section of one of my modular poles.

I like little tools like this.Could you manage a photo?

If we're doing Kim and Aggies top tips then here's mine. Occasionally, my water stops coming out of the brush due to an air lock.(probably due to sloshing while i'm driving). The solution was to diconect from the RO and suck, but to do this I had to dismantle the hoslock female.
So, my tip is I bought a hoslock male to male. Now I just plug this in and suck, problem solved in seconds.

Well another top tip is I have an end stop connecter in the end of my hose where it exits the van, the system is always pressured up and ready to connect to my reel with a double male connector. I'm currently experimenting with different household cleaners to eliminate stains on leaded windows (without much succes). This trade is so simple and wide open to discoveries. :D

Rain Water, lets get this right. You say that you prefer sucking the male bit to the female bit? Interesting..............
