Is anyone using one or as used one in the past, any feed back, cant decide whether to invest in a couple
Kind regards

I haven't but I wonder why anyone uses one.

For my work it would simply loosen dirt off from above the top edge of the frame which would run or drip onto the glass.

But Gardiners wouldn't produce it if no-one bought it?

Enlighten me.

Totally agree plus its bound to hit of the lintel when cleaning the top frame, then problems with leaky vents and so on,
that said the brush would slow down the flow of water and maybe direct it away slightly from a problem opener that fills up with water, I have a few like that and I have to clean them traditionally, for the price I might give one a try.

on quite a few accounts of mine i have to be careful rinsing to avoid dodgy rubber seals etc on some windows  so i cant see how this overspray thingie will work?

surely it will hinder rather than help?

Accounts ? the customers property can have dodgy seals not their accounts, Hyacinth Bucket wouldn't have a look in. lol.

I looked at the gardiner one as i quite like the concept of the rinse bar by "reach it".
The gardiner one looks too high and may cause the problems which some have highlighted. But i suppose it depends on your work and how regular you are.

So for instance on the first clean i go to town on the window vents and flush them until only pure water comes out. Yes it makes the first clean a longer job but sets up following cleans a piece of cake. But again my work is 4 weekly. Then about 6mnths later i give the vents another good clean etc.
So it depends how you work.

On another forum someone posted a link to a spray bar used by bissel for their wash/vacuums which can be attached to the edge of your brush and they are cheap to buy.   I tried this method on a brush that i use with my trolley and the spray is angled so it hits just infront of your bristles.
I stopped using it as the backpack didnt give enough floe rate to get a good spray. However you can use a hot knife etc and close off every other hole and it still works fine.
Im thinking of re attaching it now that i have made a more powerful trolley.

Not sure how you flush out a vent ? they are just a gap in the frame to allow air into the room, fill it with water and it will run down the windows inside, back in my first few months using wfp I actually seen my jets of water shooting through the vent and across a bedroom, haven't put water inside one since,
I wash round them and if they leak I wont put water above them, instead I will clean above them with a damp microfiber wrapped over the brush.

Are we talking about the same thing. Im refering to trickle vents and cleaned properly ive never got water inside a customers property yet, thank fully.

Well thats not quite truebut not in relation to vents anyway. It was a leaky wooden framed window, water went straight thru.
Never made that mistake again!

It would be useful for large panes of glass.

I bought one to try out on the external glass windows of the school atrium we clean once a year to see how it would work.

We were informed that the school was hosting a wedding on the first weekend after the schools broke up for their summer holidays. We then were put under a lot of pressure as we had to virtually clean 90% of the school before the wedding working around all the other trades also under pressure similar deadlines.

Unfortunatety we just didn't have time to experiment with it.

Alex made it look good.

Big panes, never lift off to rinse.
