Mwwindowcleaning 37 Posted November 18, 2016 I've been thinking the same but I personally think that as long as you have your flow rate right up there's is no need to lift your brush off the window to rinse( perfect for pvc frames). The old man made a prototype over head rinse bar for my brush and I tested it out on Georgians just agitating, no rinse and they came up perfect. I'll try post a pic of the finished article when he's finished messing about. I agree it's a lot of hassle ordering a constructor brush. they need a UK supplier. Share this post Link to post

Worth every penny in my opinion . As soon as the bristles have gone you down have too buy new brush just bristles at about £15 2 Cactus27 and Carlwindy reacted to this Share this post Link to post

As soon as the bristles have gone you down have too buy new brush just bristles at about £15 2 questions James 1. What else did you have to order other than just the brush to fit to your pole? I use gardiner brushes. 2. how long did you have to wait on delivery? really think it's the way forward using one. Cheers in advance Share this post Link to post

Marko067 684 Posted November 24, 2016 Yes dave I have a 12" and a 16" constructor brush Best brush I have used on glass 2 passes and glass is done Across the top Up down up down off the glass That's all I do with my Ultimate Med/soft. Works perfect. Been using it for several months as my main brush and all it's bristles are all still straight and I've only lost a couple of bristles in all that time as well. What do you guys do with your brushes to destroy them so quick? Mind you I haven't used mine with hot water yet. 1 James Allen reacted to this Share this post Link to post

Marko067 684 Posted November 24, 2016 Pretty much scrub and rinse at the same time. Two passes over the glass and it's done most times. Don't get me wrong I don't rush, though it sounds like it. I just do the job and move on. I don't see the point on keeping on rinsing when the job is obviously done. Share this post Link to post

Marko067 684 Posted November 24, 2016 I rinse on the glass most of the time. I only rinse off if the job demands it. But with my flow controller set to 80% it's almost as quick. Share this post Link to post
