Every year I buy a big Gardiner order. This year its an Extreme 18 pole, 3 Extreme 350mm stiff brushes and bits and pieces. Like to order on a Monday so I get it for Friday. I fit new brushes on my 35' 25' and 22' poles and fit the old ones on my 18' poles.

When I began I used to buy one of this and one of that when we got free delivery but have to pay now. I now have a stock of stuff because more customers means brush wears out quicker.

Just wondering if anyone else buys in advance after they have went for an order and its out of stock?

How do you know when your brush is worn out?

I ordered an Xtreme 25 yesterday and 2 x 35cm Xtreme sill brushes(stiff/flocked)and an extra long scraper and scrubbing pad.

£818-04!

I fully expect this pole and brush combo to last at least 2 years before replacement.

My current Xtreme 25 is just over 2 years old but I've already replaced section 1 and 3 with old sections from various poles from my pole graveyard and some of the carbon fibre is starting to splinter when clamping. These type of splinters are horrible if they get under your skin.

I only ever use one main 25ft Xtreme pole and a high level 47 footer that I bought for £850 well over 10 years ago now....

I usually buy a few bits and bobs(brushes,o clips,etc) once a year but only buy a new pole every 2 years now.

Pole getting delivered tomorrow morning. That's good old gardiner service! Still a fantastic company to deal with IMO.

lol I would hardly call one pole and 3 brushes a big order , a big order is spending several thousands of pounds at the same time

I actually thought I would get one for my contribution to the cleaning industry. None arrived so I'm writing FireSDO, a mini series, now on to the second episode, watch this space.

How do you know when your brush is worn out?

When the bristles begin to go from vertical to horizontal and the plastic ends wear away.

Over £800, so its a big order to me. I hate needing something and then finding out its sold out. Lets face it, not much is going to come down in price.

This was a genuine question that I have asked before with no response.

I have an old brush which is well past it's sell by date. I'll put up a couple of photos tomorrow.  I use this brush every day. It still has the old Gardiner jets. It looks tatty. I have a new identical equivalent brush with the new cartridge jets.

I started to use the new brush on Friday, but I've put my old go to brush back on as it works better in my opinion.

I recall Teesside Window Cleaners put up an advertising video on Facebook once. The brush a staff member was using had lots of missing bristles. He still cleaned that window and sill to an acceptable standard.
