which brush is best?
« on: June 08, 2013, 08:45:44 pm »
I have 3 medium white superlite sill brushes
Also have 1 black superlite sill brush.
I used the black one today and was impressed how it stuck to the glass.
When i used in the best i thought it wasnt tough enough to clean glass.
Does anyone use the black one and if so would you use it for first cleans?
Cheers all.
Thanks
Takings off all first cleans till march 7th 2014

I dont use the sill brushes due to weight but i do like using the soft extreme a lot but i find it does not quite have the scrubbing power as the standard bristled brush .

I will be using my extreme standard next week as my soft brush is about knackered after 10 weeks suffering a fair amount of bristle loss on top corners on brush ,  Maybe me been a little heavy handed .

But i will but the new Xtreme soft when they finally come in stock . Mike

I agree that the black extreme brush is too soft, so ive trimmed down the bristles fo make them better scrubbers but still retains that soft feel.( i use this brush on old wooden windows )
Ive also turned a white extreme into a dual trim brush by cutting down the centre 2 rows of bristles, which gives the brush slightly better scrubbing power ( i use this brush on upvc windows )

I've used the brushes mentioned above, but I quite like the extreme medium mixed brush, it's light and got decent scrubbing power. My favourite I reckon. Works very well with the carbon gooseneck.

I cut about 20mm ish off all the bristles ( the inner 2 rows perhaps slightly more )
I used a pair of kitchen scissors to cut the bristles down, just find something the correct thickness, like a ruler, an use it to cut along.
Its a trial & error thing, find an old brush, give it a trim and see if you like it
