Sill brush is for someone whos been conned.

A brush is a brush essentially in this game. Use the brush on the end of your pole, the one you clean the glass with.


Lets face it if a sill brush is designed for cleaning sills it aint going to be any good for cleaning glass is it.

I use a gardiners sill brush and you can most def clean glass and sills with the one brush.

ive use my normal brush,for glass and sills ,but dont feel im doing a good enough job,as i keep the brush at the same angle for sills and windows,is it best to change the angle to clean sill ?

I use the same brush for windows and sills if you stand back at an angle you can clean the sills and front edge of them just need to get used to it! I check when I clean insides of houses and all is good.

dual trim brush is my every day brush,when you clean the siils with it do you alter the angle,or keep it the same as when cleaning the glass ? i keep it the same angle but feel im not doing a good job

if you give them a good blast 1st time then they should only need a quick brush over after that, i usually nip my hose while i do it to save a bit of water, if you dont want a sill brush try a small gooseneck

I know exactly what a sill brush looks like, they have a convex profile. Thats it. It doesnt make them more capable of cleaning sills. Thats down to the operator. Sorry  :)

trust me buy yourself a 55degree carbon gooseneck and brush of your choice.they are excellent at cleaning sills.you can get added pressure on the sills because of the angle and there great for windows as well! ;) ;D ;D

i find i can clean sills effectively even with an extreme brush with this gooseneck. ;) :) :)
price higher/work harder!
