So if you want to stick something on the end of the pole for filthy first cleans then i`d say this salmon is up to the task.I`ve got a red aerial dual trim in the for sale section,tecbuk recommend you use this after using a different brush for first cleans and i can see why,its very gentle in my opinion,cant speak for the others they do but i`m not convinced they have window cleaners interests at heart,just their own pockets. They are selling clear pole hose now which was moved away from due to the safety aspect a good while ago and i find it quite astonishing their currently pushing it.
