Best lightweight brush for scrubbing?

[Daniel Perkins]

Just wondering what would be considered the best lightweight brush that has good scrubbing power for dirty jobs?

I use the gardiners extreme medium mixed with natural inner fibres

Not everyone's cup of tea as it is designed with weight in mind rather than scrubbing power but the ones i use are great

I even do conny roofs with them

 

[Dave B]

The ultimate range is not much heavier  (30g i think from memory) but has a lot more bristles

Cheers Dave.. I have the extreme 35cm medium mixed bristles. Liie it, Very lightweight but not too many bristles.

I've recently rediscovered the Xtreme brushes again. I used them for a while a few years back but they didn't seem to last long. I recently deciced to give the one dave mentioned a go and it seems to be a much improved brush. :1f44d: to Gardiner.

It scrubs really well and is super light. If you use it wet, but without water flowing it scrubs slug trails off really well. Follow up with a rinse of course. I've currently got it paired with the new black 100° fans and am loving it. :1f603:

i use the ultmate stiff but i use hot water this brush has good scrubing power if i was using cold i would get the nedium mixed ultmate  for slub trails the flocked work realy well on these ,i found the extreme just dont last with hot my one that is in the pic above has gone on the outer edge after 2 days use with hot water  :1f632:  i found the ultmates realy nice and lite i would like to see a brush in between a extreme and a ultmate , i extreme with a more dence packed brustels  but more shaped like a supreme

There are 2 like that

1 has nylon black bristles

1 has natural (boars hair possibly) black bristles which has awesome scrubbing power for so few bristles

 

[Marko067]

The one I'm using and referred to earlier is currently listed as; Xtreme Brush - Natural Hybrid Bristles

 

[Daniel Perkins]

Cheers Dave I have the XTREME™ 35CM WIDE BRUSH - MEDIUM MIXED BRISTLES. Need the large size for commercial work. Seems to have good scrubbing power but not many bristles so sometimes it feels like you have to keep scrubbing to get that deeper clean... maybe it's just me.

Marko would you recommend the natural hybrid, I would imagine it feels nicer on the glass than the one i have?

Been using the 100° fans on mine today

Love it mate 

Brush never left the glass to rinse and perfect windows

Got the 6lpm pump on 50

Sounds great, I literally ordering the 100° fan jets today, do you notice a massive difference rinsing?

If you're looking for a light brush for maintenance cleans that scrubs well, then this brush works well. My recollection of the Xtremes when I first used them years ago is that they felt like they were light on bristles however, this one doesn't. To me anyway.

Rinsing on the glass I use the same technique as with pencils. However, when rinsing off the glass you need to hold the brush closer to the glass. You'll see why when you get them and try it.

 

[Daniel Perkins]

Hopefully should have the 100 degree fans by next week, looking forward to trying them out. Cheers for all the advice guys.

 

[Dave B]

I also use a swivel which makes all the difference

Go down the glass like you would a squeegee and it is rinsed

 

[Daniel Perkins]

Also ordered the swivel too... happy days, cheers mate.
