IMO this is one gardiner product that is "not very good" they just dont scrape very well!!after a few scrapes they are useless as they blunt the edge rendering it redundant.

another thing is the T pieces on their brushes are again rubbish IMO.ive replaces mine with some spare ones i bought from pure freedom a while ago.too flimsy and they are a pain to fit the pole hose on when changing brushes.the p/f ones are much stronger and a better snug fit for the pole hose.
price higher/work harder!

I have one but do not find it much good. I find it more effective to use the stock of the brush as a scraper.

I snapped my bloody fan jet today on my gardiners brush only snagged it a little bit on a door handle,the hose caught on the door handle and pulled slightly on fan yet and snapped the end off.
So beware people with plastic fan jets they camn brake easily. >:(

I've never been able to use mine, not matter how I  try, I can't get the things to stay tightly fixed to the brush! think I bought 10 as well ;(  Thankfully, they were pennies

The plastic that is used on these scrapers has been carefully chosen so that it is not hard enough to cause material damage to glass surface.

As with all scrapers care needs to be taken when removing fabricating debris or other mess to ensure that hard materials (sand, grit, cement etc.) are not trapped under the scraper blade during use.

Bird's mess can also have trapped grit contained within and should have frequent rinse downs whilst scraping to prevent this contained grit from scratching.
