No not which is berst! lol

What I wondered is how people clean their brushes. As obviously over a little time and dependant upon the type of windows you have to clean there seems to be a residue building up. Before anyone comments my main brush is a vikan rectangular monofilament.

I seem to recall someone putting them in boiling water? but being blonde I cant remember!  ;D

You can do all of the above, but they will still be dirty after the first house.
This is the height of spider season. If you are worried, then rinse off the glass.
My brushes get a hand over them about four time a day, just to get the webs off.
That's all the cleaning they get. Dai

Don`t forget what cleans the glass,the water.The brush is just agitating the dirt,it only makes a real difference this time of year if you rinse on the glass.

If you put your brush in the overnight soak, measure the tds of the water before you throw it away !

If you "Lift off" then even a dirty brush (within reason!) can give good results.
I pull off cobwebs, and run my hand over the brush a few times a day, but nothing more.
I find the monofilament brushes much easier to keep clean.
