Try the brush from B&Q Jeff,it`s blue and grey and is there own make.I think you`ll be impressed with it,much much better than the addis.I want the bentley brush as it`s brill on a group of leadlight houses that i do for regular cleans.

The flocked B&Q weighs 240gm/8.50z and has a pointed rubberised ends and is an unusual shape -a  narrower footprint at the ends, is that why you like it ?
I think woolies or one of the multiples also sell it under their own brand label.

The Bentley monofilament is a good brush if you like stiffer bristles. You have to take care though with stick on leaded windows. I have noticed that some tend to peel if you scrub too vigorously.
 Many of us have been using supermarket brushes to good affect, to knock them
Without trying them is a bit silly. We don't use them just to save a few pennies, we just want lighter brushes that do a good job. Dai

Yes Joe I think thats a similar one to Nwh brush the photos a bit dark but you can make out the slightly pointed ends that also looks like a bentley/homebase  so it looks like bentley make them for B&Q etc.
Not to be confused by the Bentley/Asda/Gardiners/Wilkinson rectangular shape.
Dai , yes we all need lighter everything, where do you buy your Bentley Monofilament ?

That is the brush only it looks a different colour,that is the best cheapy brush i`ve used not to soft and dosen`t push flat on the glass and most of all is mega light.I think i paid £4.00 for it in B&Q without the handle.

I have tried many a brush over the years ionics,vikans,bentleys,wilkinsons + more.

They all work - the differences are weight, durability and scrubbing power.

I work on the north-east coast and the salt that covers the windows sorts the men from boys

when it comes to brushes.

A cross beetween a superlite and a rectangular vikan would be the ideal brush.
