Any brush just a few clicks forward on the angle adapter and run the brush along the sill,doing this regularly will keep em clean,the sill brush is the heaviest in the range.

That's the trouble with wfp your cleaning blind when it comes to upstairs sills. Especially on minging first cleans it's all guesswork.

Just keep brushing the sill on first cleans till the dirty water stops coming off of it.

You'll never touch the vikan again once you succumb to the charms of the Bentley. The Vikan sill brush is like cleaning in slow motion!

thats good idvice imo..... i use at the mo a standard vikan flocked, find it good for all windows, mainly because i aint used anything else..lol.. oh apart from a bentley, which i find nice and light, but too thin in depth........ anyway tilt the brush like the man said,  its near perfect.
