Not sure who sells these hedgehog brush heads but they would be perfect, maybe someone else might, not sure how you would be able to connect it to carbon gooseneck tho,

He Man would know am sure he had sutton up a while back about this, maybe using a long reach resi neck instead of carbon would allow u to have a brush on either side

Gardiners had it were u could have a plastic scraper to flip round to, I suppose u could work on that basis and cover it with a sponge or sutton

Can you not just turn the brush and slot through the gap then turn it horizontal once through ??

If your not using that silly quick loc system you could simply twist the brush 90 degrees on the end of the gooseneck

Just turn your brush 45 degrees and go inbetween each rail. You'll only mostly be able to go up and down but it will still do the same job. The brush will be just inline with your pole. But you'll be able to scrub and water will flow all the same.

You can turn the quicklok 90 degrees , it has another hole for that purpose .

I just twist it through though like you said , never needed to turn it 90 degrees On the gooseneck .

Could you use a small trad mop on a long pole to scrub between the railings & then just rinse with wfp
