I admit I love buying a new brush, but probably because I still feel I haven’t found the perfect one for me yet.... or have I????
I have been using the gardiner super lite medium mixed, but although it’s called super lite, it’s actually bloody heavy, which is a shame because apart from that for everyday use it’s perfect, it’s just rinsing off the glass with it after a full day it feels like I have a shark hanging off the end of it! (I use an SLX 18 most of the day)
I use the gardiner ultimate medium for my first cleans and it’s great, scrubs well and is very light, the only niggle with this one is the bristle are shorter, which obviously keep the weight down, but I find it hard to get in to some corners of frames because of this.
I use a flocked super lite for leads which works great, and a universal for gutters, but today my new brush arrived and I put it to the test, it’s the gardiner supreme medium with DuPont bristles, it’s much much lighter than the so called super lite, it has a small stock so not as much banging into frames, but it has lovely long bristles that get into the corners, I used it all day and as crazy as it sounds I think I actually worked quicker!! Rinsing was easier with the less weight, especially those awkward windows above the conservatories, and it cleaned everything up lovely.
Still need a bit more time with it but we’ll pleased so far, of course there is a very slight niggle, I noticed with the DuPont bristles that little bits stick to them easier, which is good for removing deposits I suppose but not sure if they will transfer to the next window and so on, only time will tell, but this seems to be the brush for me... for now ?
