I’m new to waterfed window cleaning. could anyone give me advice for what brushes I can use for domestic cleaning/ houses. Also for commercial work. Thanks

Depends on the condition and type of windows, anything from Extreme's to flocked brushes might be required

Most of them are regular maintenance cleans

Virtually any brush and there will be brushes recommended that you will hate. It really is a personal thing, my maintenance brush is a 35cm extreme tapertec with 4 x 1.4mm jets.

gardiner supreme dupont jobby. not too heavy, the long bristles get in all the corners and make a nice job of the cills.

Gardiners have a brush guide to help. They give scores to each brush for different cleaning tasks, ie first cleans, sash, leaded, conny roofs, soffits, painted etc.
Here it is:

Until you actually use a brush for a week or two you'll not know which suits you best, someone here could be 6ft and built like a proverbial outhouse and use and much heavier brush than me who is 5ft and shrinking and not that well built, I tried almost every Gardiners brush over the years and at one point liked them all then they made an Xtreme sill brush with my dodgy shoulders and elbow this is undoubtedly the brush for me https://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/xtreme-sill-26cm-brush-medium-soft.html with these you also do need about 5 packs of the brush bumpers as they take a bashing and need replacing to conserve the life of the brush.

We use only Xtreme poles and find the Xtreme brushes work best for us. We pretty much only use the 35cm Tapertec version with 2x 100 degree fans in outer holes for almost everything. We also use a cutdown 35cm Xtreme flocked sill brush for some older leaded work. (its no longer a sill brush as I've removed the two lower rows of bristles) I also sometimes use Gardiners Water Through Pad to help with first cleans to remove stubborn dirt from frames and sometimes the glass.

However, as has been said, brush choice is very much a personal thing and will likely also depend on what type of work you do
