I’ve been using the extreme flocked sill brush really like them but they don’t last long

I think they're useless!😁 the xtreme version that is. Imagine trying to sweep a yard with a mop and you'll be close.  Also, flocked brushes weigh more when wet as they tend to hold more water....and dirt. Each to their own but personally I think the Xtreme flocked sill brush is terrible!.

Bought my first one less than a month ago, it’s probably got another couple of weeks life in it before it goes in the bin.

Will stick to mixed medium in future.

Good for washing cars, but too soft for window cleaning. You won’t get anywhere near the scrubbing power compared to a hybrid, or medium

Give it a try.
Good on leaded windows.
You can always use it to clean soffits and gutters if you don't like it.

Flocked good for leaded and wood windows and snail trails but hold dirt and higher chance of scratches on glass they feel nice to use tho

Extreme Flocked, not a fan to be honest., feels like a brick on the end of your pole.  On the other hand, the Supreme flocked is great, nice soft feel on the glass, excellent  for leaded, cladding plus long bristles that are great for cleaning UPVC.
