Again not to everyone's liking but a 14inch stream line dual trimmed, short stiff bristles.
Great with either hot or cold water

Just about to order the sale brushes on Gardiners £18.60 each.
http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/the-supreme-medium-brush.html
http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/super-lite-compact-brush-1747.html

ive got them brushes too mate.in fact i reckon ive got around 30+ brushes knocking about. ::)roll ;D

most of them are knackered or too heavy to use day in/day out.

the xtremes and ultimate brushes just make for a much easier working day.

Extreme brushes are only good for either Georgian windows or plate glass they are useless on leaded Windows.

the xtreme brushes are great on some pockets of my work with lots of awkward angle windows.they make this work so much easier.for full leaded jobs i use a flocked ultimate.

Extreme soft is one of the best brushes Iv found for leaded windows if using cold, problem is they cant handle hot.

Extreme medium mixed for repeat work, extreme stiff for fascia cleaning and will occasionally use a supreme medium mixed for
a really bad first clean.

I'm confused myself, now taken half the stuff out the basket and looking at wcw for a new hose and fittings. All I wanted to order is different brushes in the sale section and after watching Alex's 26 minute video I'm no further on!
I'm blaming Dazmond!

If I had to advise anyone starting WFP I would say to them save yourself hundreds of pounds and buy 1x extreme the Natural bristle version 1 x medium mono the black and white ultimate 1 x yellow and white medium ultimate and 1x black flocked. That is all the brushes needed to clean every kind of window out there more or less and I’ve tried dozens all manufacturers,the above brushes are all Gardiner’s. Like I say only my opinion but I’ve tried so many different types and weights but always go back to the above.

the xtreme natural bristle is the best scrubber but their pants nigel.ive had 2 that have clumped together bristles now after limited useage.absolute waste of money.useless now and nearly £60 down the drain.their even worse with hot water! ::)roll

I only ever buy that brush for work above 30 odd feet m8 any lower the black and white ultimate is on the pole,I use the yellow and white if I feel I need to scub a wee bit more on the sides of the frames or sills.
