Think it's because of posts i read on here back along when i 1st found the site. Think alot of people then were saying to take the brush off to rinse.
Suppose it's just a habit i have got into.

I think i was told or read somewhere recently that Vikan had changed the bristles on their new brushes. I have some of the new ones but can't really tell the difference.

i'd give it a go if i were you mate, maybe when you've got a bit of time on your hands just so you can wait till its dry and see for yourself, you may need a few practise goes to get used to a new method but i can't honestly see any reason why it shudnt work for you.

See  ;D ;D ;D a few know ;)


Also to actuall use poles over 25-30ft you need to use a whole body technique which takes a while to master, its sort of like a ballroom dance step ;D ;D who cares what you look like tho if its saves one from injury then its worth it wouldnt you say.

For rinsing with poles over 30ft allways keep brush on the glass, move around I mean really sway and step back and forth for the scrub not moving your arms just letting your steps controll the motion of the pole. Then obviously start at the top with a little extra attention to see the jets wash right up to the top of the glass then with small up down jerks work you way back and forth a cross and down the glass by doing this action you should be stepping slightly left to rinse the right side and vise versa when you step left or right you slightly drop the pole the other direction. And making sure you follow the whole wave down.

You can only do the steps and body technique with brush on theres no way you can do it lifting off, the whole technique is the way your surrposed to use wfp anyone lifting of is at serious risk, there is no need to lift off at 18ft or even mini-pole 4ft work no need whatsoever!!!

To clean a brush at or on a window up to 40ft is simple, quite simply scrub hard on transome bars up and down, or the opening frame side to side then when all the bits come away just wash them down. remember providing your using a good brush, double trim and sufficeint flow the will be no actuall impurities in the brush just foreign bodies (not water solouable small bits of crap there already sterile because the have been rinsed) the technique above will completly eliminate and brush contamination BECAREFULL THERE IS A KNACK TO IT


Brett,

I would and mite put a little clip up if and when I get time and have someone with me to film the skill's ;)

Side to side strokes....moving down the glass ?

just starting so not done many, but the high up ones (3rd).... i find it really uncomfortable going side to side... the pole flicks the brush on the glass and jumps...a foot meaning i have to start that again, same with the next stroke and the one after that...

i scrub round the edges a couple of times... then up and down left to right.... then rinse with brush off...

newbie to wfp so i await corrections  ;)
