use seperate brushes always!!


i use a vikan rectangle and vikan stiff sill brush for conny roof/fascia/soffit cleaning


2 supalites for window cleaning


if you do contaminate the brush it could leave spotting on regular window cleaning jobs.


why take the risk?
price higher/work harder!

Yes. it will knacker a superlight if you leave it on there for any time - I made that mistake on the first conny roof I ever did.  Did a rubbish job so I didn't charge then, to cap it all, found I'd wrecked an almost brand new superlight. 

That's why I now only ever use Fairy liquid.  Does the job, does no harm.

Does anyone use TFR with a jet wash as a detergent or do you just spray it on concentrated and brush wash it off?

I brush it on with the same brush I use for wc and then give the brush a good clean afterwards and no problems.

Just spray the tfr on with a pump sprayer, leave for a few minutes and scrub and rinse with your pole. Never damaged any brush.

Like this - about two week sold when I left it covered in TFR solution...

I have used it as a "rough clean" brush since, but the damage to the bristle ends was there immediately after the TFR.

I have a second's brush that has gone like that, and it has been nowhere near TFR.
