Gardiners brush heads
« on: May 02, 2013, 09:13:35 pm »
And any brush heads for that matter...

Is there any tricks to their bristles getting their shape back ;D

I used my sill brush on a con roof because forgot to load up other brush head, and ive ruined it  ;D

Now when I use it on windows, the bristles lay flat on the glass.

Tried pouring some hot water over but no joy  ;)

The bristles on the Super-Lite brushes are made from Polytutylene Terephthalate Polyester. The way to get a polyester-bristled brush head back into shape is to fill a sink/basin with boiling water and submerge just the bristles (not the brush stock itself) into the near boiling water for about 10-20 seconds. The bristles will automatically start to go back into shape. Leave to dry so that they bristles are pointing upwards.
