No.

Having said that, I have tried rinsing, brush on, with Ionics brush many times and the results are unreliable.

Technique Pj    its all in the technique.


I have allways rinsed brush on and have never found it unreliable my work is of the highest quality and second to none.

Im glad im not on my own with the Ionics brush it does loose its shape very quick but does glide very well. I also have Peter's brush, Gaz H20's brush and a Vikan but i use the Ionics because its on my light pole,  it all comes down to personal preference but an old friend of mine has got a Tucker pole and i think the brush ive seen on that is the best brush ive ever seen.  Works and looks good quality

I have vikan brushes on both mini poles. They are great for removing snail trails in rapid time and rinseing off the glass at that hight is not a problem.

On my 18' poles I use Gazas salmon brush. I like them because they are so light and they keep their shape very well, and I rinse with the brush on the glass most of the time.

I have 2 other 18' poles, one with a small vikan brush on which i only ever use on first cleans or cleaning cladding. The other 18' pole as a bigger vikan brush on it, thats great for cleaning big windows fast but it destroys my arms by having to hold it off the glass to rinse.

I have 2 x 24' poles one as a Gaza brush on which I use most of the time, weight and rinseing on the glass being the main reason. I have a vikan brush on the other but only use it on first cleans because its so HEAVY man.

I have a facelift brush on my 38' pole but I hate the thing, not the brush but the pole is to big for me and to bendy.

My 5 top choices of brush are:
1.'Chic cleaning' double trim, monofilament (similar to an Ionics but far better) for really dirty glass.
2. 'Gardiners' superlite brush for normal cleans on the superlite pole.
3. 'Gardiners'superlite brush fitted to a G/F pole for dirty glass.
4. Vikan' swivel brush for conservatory roofs (for easy access).
5. 'Tucker' brushes along with the dual hose and detergent tablets and mixer for initial/ builders cleans.

has anyone else found that salmon brushes lose bristles easily i had a autobrush and (i haven't used it now for six months as it packed up) its bristles could get caught in the joints of pvc window frames and pulled out leaving them stuck to the window frames.

Interesting Philip - I've gone back to a salmon (autobrush) and not had the problem of it going out of shape (as long as it's stored hanging free).

I had the valve pack up (in the open position) a couple of times and Peter Fogwill replaced it FOC.

However, last time one packed up I wondered whether it was due to bits of muck or ptfe tape getting into the valve and I took the valve off, wiped it out, and blew through it and it was OK. Then I bought an in line filter between the tank and the pump and I've not had a problem since. (Only two weeks so far, but fingers crossed.)

Hi.  A little bewildered by all this talk of brushes.  we have just started out on the stressful changeover from the traditional cleaning and reach and wash.  We are currently using Vikan oval brush heads but wondered how much better the Mono-Filament Vikan is?  We don't work at great heights, mainly two storey work at the moment.  Any recommendations for brush heads? 

[L.J.Thorpe]

Try a toilet brush.

hilarious : :
this thread is 18 months old,why dig it up to post that 

[Pj]

G a r y?

Bonjour

Mr - - - man

Most toilet brushes are in fact monofilament!

Not dualtrim but multi-trim!

And some do have a handle that could be adapted...Lateral thinking.....

Or latrinal thinking?

[SherwoodCleaningSe]

So PJ would your changed opinion still stand some 18 moths on or do you feel different now.  Which vikan do you mean, rec mono or oval.

I would go for rec mono, cleaning spot and the Gaz.

Simon.

A toilet brush may be good for birds doings.

[Pj]

Actually,

seeing as this has been "dug up", at the moment i'm back to using only ionics brush.  I'm just not able to get along so well with any other brush on all types of windows.

[SherwoodCleaningSe]

Well after a year and a half that's a turn out for the books. I didn't say earlier but I read through the whole lot including propoles essay before I realized it was an oldy.

Tea break over and back to work.  Simon.
