Hi Spursboy, I originally bought the 'stiff' sill brush (wanted the feel of the medium mixed using hot), this performed worse than the medium mixed. The inner bristles flatten out after 2 weeks.
I am not complaining at all about the brushes, they really do get some stick doing first cleans all day. A month from a brush priced at £30 is perfectly acceptable IMO.
The other 3 vans all use medium mixed sills with cold water and they get 6 months out of them, Happy days.
Will keep you all posted on the performance of the phoenix.   


David good to know as thats exactly what has happened to my inner bristles on the stiff brush.Maybe I will try a medium brush and see what happens... Maybe I am used to as you say "4-6 months" from a brush head that a  month seems silly... Please let me know about the phoenix brush

Just brought a pheonix brush and been using for a couple of days and I am converted yes they have more weight than am extreme but they seem to clean much better.
Do they do a soft bristle brush aswell if they do think I would try one of those to the other has impressed me so much

Do you guys rub the stock up and down the brickwork or something?

I don't think you can get the jamb where the casement seal touches with the bristles without rubbing the brickwork reveal can you?
Doesn't need cleaning properly on each visit (monthly) but does need it a good few times a year.

I bought 2. Looks like a good brush apart from the jets which are metal and protrude past the stock of the brush. Too risky for me to fit to an employee's pole.

You'd need to press very very hard to have any implications, brilliant brushes though

Agreed, either that or the bristles would have to be worn...

I find softer bristles better for cleaning with hot water.
