do you guys clean your poles every week? what about brushes?

my new pole looks so used after only one week of use, i do look after it tho

thing is this my first pole that i bought brand new, so I want to keep it in mint condition /emoticons/smile.png

 
Yep i clean them once a week in summer and give them a rinse everyday in winter, you got the slx didnt you? Much less maintenance needed on the slx compared to a facelift

 
Never & it's still going strong 9 months later.

Though I do try to wipe through the pole hose at end of the shift.

 
i clean mine every now an again brush gets soaked over the weekend i swish it out a few times a day during the week to

 
I think I've cleaned my old hybred once or twice in the last 5 years and that was probably once too often./emoticons/biggrin.png

 
I clean mine if it gets grit in it. Forget where, but it picked up a load of grit off the hose last week and ripped the stop tape to shreds and the tape started to clog up the pole, making it a ball ache to use. I pulled the sections apart and got rid of the stop tape altogether.

I always reel in with the hose running through a cloth.

Yes that's what i mean, we had some rainy days this week and my sections got grit and mud on them too, i can just feel it's not as smooth to extend/close the sections.

Also my brush collected so much spider web, i think i'm gonna have to soak it in warm water.

(btw how do you insert usernames in your comment?)

Pole I clean once every two weeks, brush is almost daily I get so much cobwebs and grit in the things. In fact when I'm cleaning I'm always wiping the brush head on the brickwork to get rid of cobwebs.
