hi nigel tryed to rinse with the brush on today but i don get the tops clean you can see a dirty brush mark for about the first 18 inches.
I use a salmon brush that is medium bristle with pencil jets.
I go up and down to clean then side to side to rinse so what am i doing wrong??

it is realy starting to pee me off now

thanks joe

what brush you using mate ? this sounds like a problem i used to get when using a oval vikan .

[Wayne Thomas]

Salmon brush works fine so you can't blame the brush.

[peekeclean]

12"salmon mono

could it be the flow rate?? if so what should it be.

[Wayne Thomas]

Everybodies flow rate is adjusted to suit their speed they work at comfortably without skimping or wasting water accordingly.

I rinse brush on, and get no problems.

Ionics multipole brush, 1.7lpm flow rate.

After the scrub of the frame, I rapidly brush one of the crossbars to get the brush a bit cleaner. Then I just rinse in a zig zag motion.

I'm a wfp noob, only done a couple of days, but this is what works for me.

Scrub whole frame first, then start at the top of the window, if seals are holding water droplets, catch the drips of the top (if there are any) with the brush, and without water flow, turn flow back on, then go twice horizontally over the top of the glass, after that scrub the window pane twice, go back to top of glass, rinse the top well, including the corners, and then zig zag down.

Works for me.

I prefer brush off for this exact reason.  It takesz a bit more physical effort, but the results I don't have to worry about...

I use a vikan oval mono with pencil jets with no probs rinsing on most of the time. However it doesn't work on all windows. Depends on the condition of the frames. It also didn't work till I'd done them at least three times 'cause there was too much dirt in the bristles.

Hi Joe,clean the window as you normally would going across the top and up and down when you`ve finnished brushing go back to the  top and let the water just flow down pulling the brush down with it on the glass,you need to use more water than you normally would.The water should be flushing down the glass even as your brushing,if i come across difficult windows i take my time on the first clean or so.The best way to show that it works is for you to pick certain windows that don`t give any problems,with that brush you now have just scrubbing with a good flow is all you need to do the job,the problem your having sounds like either sash windows or similar and these will need a couple of cleans but you should still be able to rinse on when you get them up to scratch.

cheers nigel
iv been going up and down then when rinsing i do zig zag down.
but you just rinse pulling the brush down with all the water flushing the glass.

A vikan Oval doesn't come in mono does it.

I got my Vicans from PureFreedom bout a year back. Asked for monos specifically as I work with cold water and wanted the scrubbing power of monofillaments for stubborn bird muck.

[peekeclean]

If they are just one colure then they are mono.

[Xline Systems]

all vikan brushes can be purchased in mono or flagged brissle.

[kris martin]

Yes they can and there all rubbish.

[NWH]

The only thing i use a vikan for is con roofs or dirty weatherboard.
