  my 3rd clean was better than my fourth, ive noticed soap still foaming out, how long does this take to clear and do you think i need a different brush?

any help fellers

hi kris - more likely to be air bubbles from your water - some guys notice it more on the first house of the day etc.

I presume you have a di vessel in the van?  this is usually the cause.

as long as the results are good then thats what really matters

[NWH]

A mono brush ie salmon will get rid of it all,do a clean with 1 and when you go up to the edges it will milk like mad.It will remove soap residue far quicker.

[alanwilson]

oh yeah NWH is right, you need to be using a top quality brush like the salmon or similar.  monofilament

[kris martin]

could somebody pls send me a link to a salmon, where to get one from pls.... at the moment im using a vikan oval with all red bristles, is that any good for first cleans...   also im using a trolley and bringing the water in barrels...

[NWH]

If you want to do it yourself then google stratfords or www.window-tools.com,Peter Fogwill sells them.

[kris martin]

do i have to modify it to fit it on my xtel

[NWH]

If you get the 15" it will screw straight on an angle adapter but if it`s the square version you will have to glue an angle adapter into the lined thread.You must jet these at the top of the brush otherwise to many bristles need to be removed,it also works better like that for rinsing on.Get 1 from Peter he normally fans his mono brushes,a fan of water with this brush is good cos it keeps the bristles wetter and it seems to float over the glass more with fan jets,i wouldn`t recommend fans on all brushes but i would on this 1.

are you taking the time on the top ? I use vikan red mono and do not have this problem at all, I make sure the top edge gets worked on more than anything else this is first clean not 4th. if you use the same as me angle the brush so it splays up to sill egdes and scrusb hard & rinse, clean rest and do the same again (1st clean) on second I do the same just to make sure then back to spped cleaning.

Ian

p.s I rinse on with vikan and dont have any problems, I find them better than some brushes for first cleans as the weight helps IMO it not all about lite its about doing the job right 

[kris martin]

do you mean the top of the frame?

[windowwashers]

do you mean the top of the frame?

top of frame and also where glass meets the frame at the top. All you have to remember that water always using the lazy route bring anything it can with it (down normally) keep the top clean and you minamize the problem a lot.

All this talk of salmon brushes are the best - Vikans cause spotting, bubbles, and the return of the anti-christ according to some of you. There really is nothing wrong with Vikan brushes period!!!

If I listened to half of you lot I would have rushed to B & Q got my self a decorators pole and glued some cheap brush to it - I am I the only one one here that thinks some of you are barking Mad?

Yes 

The others don't think it they know it 

Anyway brushes don't glue on to the B&Q pole they fit like any other pole
