Nice job fella!
Can I ask, do you ever get bits on the roof that look like bits of coral?
Real bugger to shift?
Only asking coz I did one last week and it took ages to clean them off so if you have any tips? 

[S.A.J]

Sounds like lichen fungus we just scrub very hard (very time consuming) but not too hard to damage the roof!!

or just use plenty of viro sol or ubik soak scrub soack scrub

I just soak those bits with TFR and leave it about 10 minutes to soak in. They come off in seconds then. Someone mentioned a couple of years ago that they attached a 'non stick scourer' onto the top of the brush, i presume they meant with cable ties, and that works a treat too!

Sussed it mate it is the extreme wide , i like the idea of the more robust edging which you dont get on the standard extreme which would mean the brush would last longer,

As once the edge of the brush becomes to damaged because of knocks against window reveals the bristles start falling out on the corner of the edge .

Had my extreme standard about year now and it is starting to bristles because of this problem .

It would be great if you could get the extreme  standard brush with this edging down each side of the brush , AS i really like the built in scraper of standard .

Love the standard except for this problem.  MIKE

I used my long handled ice scraper ! Took ages tho even with viro sol

Hi, I am new to window cleaning, I have a couple of conservatories to do. This might be obvious but what is TFR ? Thanks.

Hi Mike

The window cleaning brush is the item that receives the most wear during use and should be considered a consumable item. Just as in the old days you would look at changing your squeegee blade on a weekly basis to get best results (in the US they change them daily), so too you should look at changing the brush on a regular basis. If you have managed to get a year's use from an Xtreme brush then you have done well.

These are lightweight brushes and as such will need replacing more frequently than a heavyweight brush. Even on brushes where the bristles appear to be OK you will find after a year that the tips of each strand will have worn away and become slightly pointed (this happens on all makes of brushes even the heavy ones) - replacing the brushes regularly will improve the quality of the clean and also the speed of cleaning.
