I had a disaster this afternoon, I cleaned someones windows that had just been replaced and putty was still soft. I didn't realise but I got putty all over my brush and then cleaned downstarls windows and left them all greasy and smeared. Customer was fine and said they would sort out the windows as they should have told me before to miss the new panes,

However, I've now got a very greasy brush head (gardiners super lite), any tips on the best way to clean it and get it back to new?

Please help as I need to use it tomorrow!!!!

try something like white spirits or meths, if that doesnt work you could try some petrol, if you do use something like this you will have to wash your brush in fairy to get rid of the cleaner, then clean out in water to get rid of any residue left in the brush.

I've got 1 other brush but its on my 40ft'er I'd rather not be switching around, White sprit is probably a good idea tho

TFR or IPA will clean  your brush.

Ive used white spirit a few times to remove putty from windows, so it might worth a try giving the brush a dunk in some

i had this problem once, ended up soaking it in neat tfr for the night and then rinsing it in hot soapy (very soapy) water a few times got it off.
