weeks use of vikan sills brush ...
« on: August 12, 2010, 04:05:33 pm »
finally got round to changing my brush heads from the brodex heads which came with my poles.

went with the vikan sills brush (red n green one) from gardiners.

using it all week and i have to say its bloody great! not heavy at all for me and it seems im even using less water, so a big thumbs up from me for the sills brush!

trouble with using stiff brush on conny roofs is they scratch poly carbonate, as it is softer than glass.

same as mine,awesome m8 arent they and you do save so much water and time!i think i have cut down on water by 25% and save 20 % time on cleaning time too.
makes life so easy compared to the superpoope brushes!
people moan about weight i suppose its like a ferrari to a plastic pig with the superpoope being the plaggy pig!

yeah after a few more weeks ill be able to work out how much water/time ill save with using the brush.

i cant even work out why im using less water really - i always spend too long per window just to make sure.

took me about 2 houses to get used to it but now i have i love it!!

im shocked that it isnt talked about more on her for how good they are!!

no weight at all to it!!

Cleewindows try not to get onto the habit of using one brush for all types of work, keep your regular customers maintenance clean brush separate from the more grimy work, even if you decide to use the same type of brush better to have two of them.

I like your colourful views on the superlite brush, but can you explain in more detail why you think it’s as bad as you say.
