@Fraggle I used to use a regular brush and switched to a sill just to help give the sills a once over while I'm cleaning the bottom of the main window frame before cleaning the sill itself. Now I find it means I don't need to really adjust the angle of the pole too much to clean the sill aswell as the window, so it's a win-win if you see what I mean.
@Part Timer me too. I love the Xtreme Sill brushes and use them nearly all the time, and just have the normal Gardiner sill brush for some dirty first cleans. The Xtreme Sill brushes are by far my favourite brush I've ever used.
How do you find the bigger brush? I keep thinking of trying one.
Just put a scraper on your pole
With 4 x 1.4mm jets you don't use anymore water. As long as you have a swivel you can do the really small windows
I stopped using the cause I was always worried about scratching the windows. But maybe I need to pick one up again.
Not had any real issues myself I use the 26cm Xtreme sill with a swivel I sometimes find rotating the brush so it's on its side and then scrubbing up and down helps.
That's the one I've ordered. Which part of the brush are you wiping the sills with?
I use the end bits they go in deep on the sill and remove all the dirt
Good man thank you
I have the flocked and medium soft Xtreme sill brushes, and the standard flocked sill brush. I use the standard one on first cleans or at houses that I know the windows are always quite dirty, and the sill Xtreme’s for everything else (probably 80-90% of my work). I think as they are smaller I find it helps with an extra sense of control when I’m cleaning, if that makes sense.
Both my hot water systems are out of action and I don’t own enough soft sill brushes so I’ve been back on a normal brush all week. It’s awful! I managed to dig out a 35cm soft silk one, far too big for domestic but I’m making that work so avoid using a standard brush!
Oh dear. I hope they aren't too expensive to repair. Never used hot water myself as I haven't got that kind of money, but a window cleaner I know locally does alot of blocks of flats and says the hot water has really helped his speed. Same as me, I just can't seem to get on with a normal brush. I might try the 35cm Xtreme Sill at some point, but I don't think I could use any other brush that size.
