Sorry Luke.......I just had to get that one in.

Not heard of them before but any advancement in tech would be great.

Everyone works on poles but I think brush heads are more important after all this is what does the cleaning.

Boars head natural bristle used to be  the brush of choice for trad window cleaning in the USA. It has good splay and scrub but the bristles are set into a great big wooden stock thats very heavy if used on the end of a pole. Bit like a thick natural paintbrush over here.

The one I held at the Window Cleaning Warehouse wasnt heavy at all, it was very light and it had worn around th edges into a driftwood type thing, so it had got even lighter!!! Luke
