Gardeners Extreme brush.
« on: August 02, 2011, 05:37:42 pm »
I bought one of these a couple of months ago only because their super-lite were out of stock. Well after only two months of domestic use this Extreme brush is already losing its shape which I think is because of its flimsy design.
Does anyone else have this type of brush?

I've got one still on the go from January & another fron 2 months back. Oldest one is just starting to curl a little at bristle ends, the other is still as good as new. Both white ones. My black one is still as new but doesn't get used that much.

I've got a few that I've had for a couple of months, one on a carbon gooseneck gets hammered on upvc cleans with really hot water. They have all gone out of shape to some extent, I think due to the hot water but they all are still the best cleaning brushes I have.

A friend got one that has had a lot more use than mine, as it's his only brush, but he's got cold water and his brush hasn't gone out of shape at all.

i use hot and have noticed that the extreme brush does loose its shape very quickly.
this one is only a week old,



but i this is what happened after i put the brush in a sink full of boiling water foe a minute or two, then poured a kettle of boiling water over it.



dont know how long it will keep its shape again but if i can do this to get its shape back, every week, i will be more than happy  ;D

It does say on the gardiners website,
That the black brush shouldnt be used with hot.

Oh yes - never noticed that before  ???

I wonder if they could make an extreme specifically for hot water?
I've not had hot very long so haven't played with different brushes to see what's best. Do Vikans suffer with the heat?
