thought of changing to supalite brush, but very fond of vikan sill brush.

Just wondered if anyone using the supalite has trouble doing or scratching window sills

thanks lee.

Supalite all the way for me, you'll never regret it!

Though I must admit sometimes its nice to feel the bit of weight from a Vikan. ;)
but would never go back.

i use a dual trim superlite  flocked and un flocked,  i want to try a single trim one next time see if it makes any difference

gardiners are meant to be bringing out the old supertrim at the end of the month,  try one of them

I have tried several brushes and supalite is the best, but most expensive brush.

Def go supalite! Because its so light I think you do less damage to the frames because you have more control and your not banging it around so much. you can be more precise aswell!!

Although i am still fairly new i use and love the superlight. i also have a vikan sills brush but often find the super light has more scrubing/cleaning power it is really light and cleans very well.

used all super light, but dont like the flocked one it holds dirt and spider webs and its black so you cannot see if its clean.

Darran do you mean this brush when you say Pro window dual trim?

DanC -  Pro Window is a Salmon.

Matt - Fantastic brush, a little heavier than the superlite and slightly longer.  It's simply unbeatable for 1st cleans and jobs that get a lot of cob-web build up - it just removes the stuff with ease and does not deposit back onto the window/frame further down like a superlite.
bristles are less splayed and scrub well a dream to use on conny roofs.
been using it for 3 months and no sign of wear at all !

I still like the superlite for regular maintanence cleans but the Pro window is well worth having

superlites = not very good,very light but no good for cleaning windows.
sill brush = great brush for everything,great scrubbing power = quicker on the glass = faster and more money per hour!
i think since using sill brush im 25 % quicker with far superior results!
