Anyone use a porcupine?
« on: July 05, 2010, 08:16:07 pm »
Would the r.s.p.c.a. get funny?


Saw one whilst ordering something else and it said on the review that it made a scraper almost redundant. Is this possible? Can the porcupine scrub dried on poo off the glass?
If it can maybe I can use one on a pole for stubburn debris.

I have used them for years, and think they are the best sleeve on the market.

Ive had them for years, and to be honest i went back to normal one the other day, i dislike porcupines now, they dont hold any water and soap, yeh they ok for scrubbing but nothing that special.

They are superb for scrubbing Dave. I like the fact they don't hold as much water, makes them better on a pole & lighter too. Won't replace a scraper for mastic, silicone etc but definately will for bird poo! ;)

My next project is to make one into a flipper pad.

i use the unger monsoons.great sleeve.holds loads of water and you can get most bird muck off with the scrubbing strip on end of sleeve!! ;) ;D ;D

are a lot of you going back to trad on lower windows as its quicker and a much more reliable clean?? ;D ;D ;D ;D

I really like the porcupine.
It  does struggle with stubborn debris but overall is very good. The fact that it holds less water seems to make it ideal for inside work.

I stopped using the porcupine as they kept shedding the needles and they'd get stuck in the frames. I spent more time pulling out bits of nylon from the window frames than I would have using a scraper.
