I use the vikan sill brush ( or high/low brush to give it its correct name) and its the mutts nuts. if your getting one though, make sure you get the monofilliment one,it has no rubber on the edges which can leave marks,and obviously has the big advantage of not having split ends on the bristles which can trap particles. Alot of suppliers are still showing pics of the old style one on their sites so I would definately ask before ordering.

on domestic done traditional we do cills FOC before we did cills lost a few customers to window cleaner that did all frames cills etc for same price we did just glass for .Have recentley purchased vikan cill brush excellent on glass but a bit to heavy tried it with 24 extel pole and it was all over the place if this brush could be made lighter it would be a real winner.

In my opinion if you don't clean the cills you're only doing half a job. When using WFP you don't need any other gadgets, or even change the angle of the brush, it'll usually come up nice and clean using what part of the brush you can.

Glass, frames, cills, they all get done by us cause it just looks bad if they're not. And it's always the dirty bits that you notice, not the lovely, clean glass!!
We know we're the best, you know we're the best, I guess we can't both be wrong!!!

when I quote its for the window,not for glass. A window inludes frame ,glass and cill

A window includes the frame but there's no mention of a 'sill'; according to the Oxford English Dictionary; so if you clean glass and frame only, you're doing your job!

I know, I know; I'm being anal!

Anyway, what standard do I clean at?  I'm as 'fussy' as the customer!  ;)

I do it much the same as Ian. I do wonder about this though. Having just removed the crap off the sill [ and quite a bit of it under trees] I am putting the dirty brush on to the next window. The state our brushes get into this time of year with all the muck and spiders webs, leaves me a bit worried about spotting.
I f you lower the brush to clean it after every window, it would be as quick to do some of them trad. Carrying a separate pole with a sill brush does not appeal to me either. I have been cleaning with an absolutely minging brush at times, yet get no complaints. Dai

I was thinking that maybe I'd do all the upstairs windows. Then go back over doing all the sills. Clean the brush and start downstairs. So not too much time wasted cleaning the brush. Downstairs sill I wipe off with a cloth anyway
