Hi BScleaningseevices:

Gardiner,ive never used/tried,however,Clx/Slx i believe have a different reach & wash essentially...

Gutters are completely seperate,as are cladding..

Which 2 do you want to purchase ?...Brushes,poles,jets...

What Ionics system have you ordered ?..

I want all the above but I’m new to this so don’t no what’s best or sort of understand , I seen on website there was many options to go for , and the tritan 

 
BScleaningServices,i was/am,as the majority of us still learning about essential products.

One key element is researching necessary products as much as possible before committing to buy..as in tried & tested...similar to buying a car!....I'll be looking at Gardiner alil later on,but for the mo,adding abit from Ionic.

Hope this helps fella!.

 
Gardiners poles are very good we have most  there poles in different sizes you need to decide what length pole you need for the jobs you will be doing only you will know that , the clx is the cheapest hybrid pole Gardiners do they are a bit hippy and slightly heavier but a good pole , six is 100% carbon and a good pole this is what most use , the extream range are very good stiff and light but more delicate and can easily be broken if you are heavy handed closing windows with them , all good poles though 

 
When I started out I bought an SLX 22. With a universal soft brush, this is my everyday pole. I took advice from friends, so went with it. I chose the brush myself, I really like the universal brush, the blue end bit is good for spider corners etc. I love the scrubbing power of it. I also have a slx 25. Depending on your work your might need longer. I do 3 storey with it. It is really personal choice, but hope this helps a little,

I’ll get to slx for the moment then and what about jets ect

  We use 2mm pencil jets on all our brushes again it’s a personal thing , but if you are new to wfp I think they would be the best thing to use for starters it will take you a while to be accurate with the pole placement and using fan jets could cause you problems hitting the walls and putting dirt on the glass and frames 

 
I use pencil jets. For me I see exactly where the water is hitting. Which when I first started out I found it better for me personally. Again many like fan jets. 

Hey Pjj

my thoughts exactly you must be able to type quicker than me ???

Wfp?

 
Ive only been cleaning for around a year..progressed upto wfp..pencil or fan jets..a slightly wider difference essentially.Ultimately,common sense & observation are key factors.Btw,pencil & fan jets use the same amounts of water guys.

Hey Jango.

Can a Universal brush be a quick release brush too ?.

You change the brush when you need to. I just change for leaded as it is a bit bouncy on leaded glass. 



Pjj...wfp ?...=Water Fed Pole..
You been drinking Pane????????. 

Your asking advice on poles, brushes, pencil jets etc. All wfp stuff?

 
Cheers Jango.Some canvassing has clarified,what dirty windows & frames actually are...

- one old brush (run in brush,seasoned),to clean the s*** off,then the new,cleaner brush too ultimately give the shiny,polished & rinse finish.Makes all the difference!.

I currently use Pencil jets.The water seems to expand on the surface,when rinsing.I dont like the water splattering all over the place.Keep the pressure flow decent.
