Used the xline mono dt for a few days and found it a good brush.

Same size and weight as Gardiner's sl. I find it a better brush than the sl medium mixed (which I do not rate). I think this is largely due to the bristles keeping a better shape, as opposed to collapsing into the glass. This means more of the bristle head is in contact with the glass providing better scrubbing.

The flocked sill xline is an absolute beast of a brush. I originally bought it for f/s/g cleaning but its been my main brush for the last few days. It covers such a big area of the glass and obliterates dirt so easily..

Iv got 3 different xlines and there all great brushes in there own right, can't fault them. The best thing for sure though is how well they keep there shape no matter how aggressive you are with them.
How do you find the weight of the sill brush. On their website it weighs 222g but it looks heavier going by the picture?
Also do you find a lot of dirt gets trapped in bristles from cleaning the sills?
Thanks.

The sill feels very similar to the mono weightwise, to me anyway.
The joy with the xlines is the dirt wipes out of the bristles very easily, just a quick wipe with the hand.

I dont have any xlines , but one thing that strikes me with all previous comments is ......could the fact just be that the xline bristle is closer to a Gardiner stiff bristle ?
All I use is sl stiff and extreme stiff and they dont look much different from when I got them in March , Alex will know as he dispatched them himself after I had my stroke.

I wondered that but have not tried any of the Gardiner stiff brushes. Could well be they are a better option than the medium versions.

Just ordered 2 xline brushes online as the 25% discount still stands. Am guessing it will not apply tomorrow as it was only supposed to be for Friday.

The stiff brushes are ok for hot users but I wouldn't trust them on glass for cold water use, great for fsg cleans though.
