[Sir Squeaky]

Hello again...
Time for a new brush, it's a bit worn and rounded on the corners now.

What's a good long lasting one please? Had 6 years out of my Ionic one nearly, and hasn't shed one bristle.

Was interested in Gardiners ones, but they reckon on 4-8 months life!

6 years out of a brush!!
Do you tickle the windows or clean them.

[SB Cleaning]

6 years is some going

Did you have confetti on elastic when you got married?

[Sir Squeaky]

Haha. I scrub hard.
Must have just bought a good brush.

So anyway...? Best one?

[kempy]

Do you need advice . If that brush lasted you 6 years then you have the best brush ever . Simple .
Buy that again

[Sir Squeaky]

Haven't seen the same one since.
It was end of line when I got it

I take it some of you guys are new to wfp, back in the good old days 6 years would be nothing to some
of the brushes.
I have a few in my garage that I think where 4 years old when I stopped using them and they still look like new.
Are they the best brushes ever, I think not as they all weighed a ton.

Yeah I'd say mine still looked like new after 4 years, but I've just carried on since really.
It's only since it rounded off and and takes more effort in corners I've decided on a new one

6yrs  , Makes me chuckle when someone says I've had the one brush for years .

Clearly it does the job but the bristles become less effective at cleaning long before a year is up .

Gardiners Supreme Mixed Hybrid would be a good choice . Or alternatively how about a sweeping brush head

Vikans lasted years, ive still got mine, but they do weigh a tonne and bristles seem really short now compared to newer brushes. Im very partial to gardiners new supreme brush, i went for medium mixed one, very impressed so far, havent tried the other.

[Sir Squeaky]

Medium mixed is the one I was looking at.
Seems the most standard decent lasting brush

So what happens to a bristle to make it less effective .

To be honest the only brush Iv found not to last was the xtreme soft, the bristles went curly after a few months.
I would recommend the xtreme medium mixed (black and white) yes they do take a bit of getting used to especially
when used to a heaver brush but once mastered they are unbeatable and light.

No idea this gem has previously been posted on a few occasions by Sir Alex G

Same principle why you should change your tooth brush every few months instead of every 6 years. The end of the bristles wear so they scrub less effectively.

Doesnt that mean youve just got new bristle ends instead of the original bristle ends?

A bristle end is surely a bristle end. Yes yes of course there's flocked and non-flocked bristles but lets be honest a piece of bristly bristle is a piece of bristly bristle. Feckin' heck we're only brushing glass - this believe it or not ain't precision engineering.

As most people on here seem to earn around £40/hour (according to posts) I think we should take our work seriously and try and do a good job for people. The brush you use has a lot to do with this IMO.

[Rich Wilts]

What a stupid thing to say.    Some of us earn twice that an hour.

Barely above the breadline you poor souls.
