Title: What WFP brush do you find is best for removing fly pooh!
Post by: nat on September 19, 2007, 02:00:14 pm: I have noticed on a hotel that we clean that recently a lot of fly poo and the odd tiny bit of bird pooh (a real small sort you can't see from the ground only when on the inside looking out the window) has been left behind after cleaning

We curenntly use vikan brushes, have used ionic monos before but the jets were terrible!! any suggestions you mighty fine people? ;D

Post by: nat on September 19, 2007, 04:54:26 pm: don't you find the jets poor though? the vikan spray out nicely but the ionics just trickle out? i use a flojet 100psi with two reels, with the vikans its fine but ionics was rubbish

Post by: williamx on September 19, 2007, 05:27:02 pm: I now use the Ionics new brush which is excellent (it removes lipstick straight off the glass).

The jets are pencil ones which I am not to keen on but the water comes out at least 12 feet on a 100 psi pump and 160 meter hose.

You could always change the jets to fan ones if you wanted.

Post by: nat on September 19, 2007, 05:31:17 pm: so we've established the brush, but can we not whack in jets like the vikans? otherwise it means buying another flojet to run another reel!

Phone up Ionics and ask if they do fan jets, I will be tommorow and if others follow suit they might start making them if they don't already.

Post by: nat on September 19, 2007, 06:35:18 pm: so if i had spare vikan jets i can fit these to ionic brush head?

Post by: NWH on September 19, 2007, 06:39:10 pm: You need a small X head screwdriver and a hammer,take off you jet hoses and put the screwdriver over the the jet fro m the bristle side then tap them out with the hammer,if you try and pull them out with pliers you`ll snap the jets in half trust me.
