Re: vikan sills brush came today ...

ive got a vikan sill brush but its the stiff bristle version and im sure its too harsh for normal windows!its great for conny roofs /fascia cleaning though!

i might get the softer sill brush and give it a go!

i use a supalite flocked and i think its great on maintenance cleans and its better on leaded and wooden georgian windows as the bristles are soft and less chance of damaging wood frames/lead on glass.

i must admit though the supalite mono IMO is rubbish and the ends of the brush are knackered after only 2 weeks of use!

if your using a pole all day with lots of awkward angles to reach over extensions/conny roofs then the extra weight of the vikans can make a difference to the strain on your arms and shoulders.


clee windows you ve not got a full round yet and if you used the sill brush day in /day out 5 days a week im sure you might want something lighter on the end of your pole!!

hows the clx clee?this brodex hydra 25 footer is building my shoulders up but im looking at trying a lighter pole but i need a 25 footer as my main pole.

Sorry to hear this.  We presume that you haven't contacted us directly about this as we would have been able to tell you that there has been a faulty bristle batch, which has affected some of the last few hundred brushes sold.  Anyone with this problem is of course being offered a free replacement from a batch with the correct grade of bristles.  You will notice quite a difference with the new brush.  Please ring the Office (01726 66400) and the Sales Team will sort this for you.

Started using s/l dual this week, bristles good, cleans well. The weight is very important to me, very happy.

Do you mean the red and green sill brush and the plain red sill brush?
If these are the brushes that you are "on about", the only difference that I can find is, the red one is mono filament and the red/green one is flocked/flagged.
I have the plain red and that is mono filament.
It could also be that the red/green brush is the "new" style, but I could be wrong about that. ???
I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

Yeah the red one has stiff mono bristles and the red/green one has softer flocked bristles.
I use the red/green softer flocked brush and it cleans very well and I have confidence that it wont scratch UPVC or sills.

the vikan sill flocked brush, is the No 1 most important brush in my collection, i have many brushes, and they are all good, but each one has a diffrent roll, if you are cleaning everything frames, sills all incl, then the sill is the best choice, guaranteed no scratches, and will clean the sills in 2 swipes, give you an example, i turn 100% to the sl brush its incredibly light, i loved it, did the glass and frames no problem, but in an area i work in, all big high class houses, i got 2 complaints in the same week, about the sills not cleaned properly, i took the complaint seriously, and changed back to the vikan sill last week, i hear a lot the word, it weighs  like a brick, well it would stuck on a glassfiber pole, or they have it on a pole that can be reduced by taking some sections off, fitted to an sl-x or even better a harris pole, you feel nothing and thats me working all day with it, i have several poles, i plan my day, and know which pole to take and use to make my working day a breeze, any high level work i do, i use only the sl brushes, alex if you are watching this thread, give us the superlite sill, i have said this for years, so come on alex you can do it  ;D
