What brush do you use for soffits/gutters
« on: June 26, 2012, 08:07:17 am »
ive got a outside gutter/soffit clean booked in for next tuesday.just wondering what brush and gooseneck you use for them?

ive just ordered another carbon gooseneck.im going to screw my extreme medium bristle brush onto it and use this for all future soffit/gutter cleans because of the lightness and ease of use.

i find them a real strain on the arms and shoulders compared to normal maintenance window cleaning!!i usually use an old standard medium bristle supalite brush on a normal plastic angle adaptor.

what i love about these quick release carbon goosenecks is they can be easily swapped and they are so light!!also i like the fact the brush is screwed on so no annoying brush movement that sometimes happens!!

regards

I can't comment on the goose neck as i use a flip fast angle adapter, but the white extreme is my brush of choice as its light and has got good splay to get under the gutter nicely :)

I don't find the gutter and fascias too much of a strain - but the soffitts, especially if theres a deep overhang can be a strain

If they're really dirty or green I use an old square brush with fan jets - with a flipfast angle adapter

Exactly that! It's cleaning. Something to agitate the dirt. Bristles.

As for finding gutter cleans take their toll more than windows, it's down to technique.

The dirtier the job the stiffer the bristles.
