What brush?
« on: July 06, 2017, 06:04:29 pm »
Hi .I'm getting fed up with the yellow spots on the windows .I've been window cleaning 10 years but this year it's the worst for this type of spots.Don't remember being so bad.
What brush would be best to get rid of it easily ?
Thanks

I turn the brush on its side and use the plastic stock to gently rub the marks off. Make sure the window is wet and your stock is clean. Hope this helps.

Same as Daz , super scraper flip over your pole gone in seconds wouldn't be without it.

I've got the scraper on the pole and in a lot of the cases but it's time consuming as you have to turn the water off quite a few times and thought might be a wonder brush

Yep, no faffing at all. Just hot water, 4 or 6 (gonna be trying soon) pencil jets, and away you go onto next job.  Whilst waving goodbye to all the shiners using fingernails or scrubbing pads 😉

Xtreme stiff might be worth a try.

Now if i had to use a brush only , no scraper or hot , then this bad boy is the man for the job , what you are looking at is rare as rocking horse poop , i might go so far to say that even Alex G dont have one of these  ;D

You can spray some detergent on the brush.

But saying that more stuff to carry, I've got a super scraper I'll put on today.

Agreed I think Nathan is still trying to sell hot to himself, that said if its really bad and slowing you down it may be worth a try
as even a small improvement may be worth it in the op's case.

I think you guys must be doing something wrong then. 😯😕

Dual trim stiff brush and hot (60degrees plus) works a treat, but then I also use 4 jets so plenty of pressure n flow.
