Xline dupont are the best.
I reck gardiners brushes very quickly,  though I like their weight, they are not robust enough for heavy handed people like me, especially with hot water.
Xline have more rows of bristles in their brushes which makes them hold their shape for longer and have much better cleaning power IMO.
I wish gardiners would make some more robust brushes for people that don't mind the little bit of extra weight as I quite like the jet capsules.

As far as cleaning power goes DuPont bristles are superb imo I just wish Alex was a little more generous with the amount of bristles 🤣🤣,a couple of passes and its clean.

Yeah I have had 4 or those new gardiner jets break in recent weeks. Tried to flag it to them but they got a bit defensive suggesting something to do with my setup.

The lates Gardiners  supreame stiff white brushes are good we use hot water all year round and find they last around 3 months , we tried the x line DuPont and it didn’t last a week before the bristles were knackered with the hot water . Most other makes we tried were the same or weighed a ton 😂😂

I had to use a 35cm flocked brush today after using radial lite for weeks, felt like a brick on the end of my pole, so slow, horrible

X-line looks good - bit cheeky to add £6 onto a £53 brush for postage

Iv got the latest supreme stiff, its ok but just feels a bit too stiff, very abrasive on the glass. Might have to play with it some more.
I do like the ultimate flocked for leaded windows and it seems to hold its shape well even with hot water which is surprising.
For day to day work I always go back to the xline dupont though.

Thought they were not suitable for hot water.

No at present they aren’t with the amount of bristles that they have,they are doing the big brush which is DuPont full trim it would be lovely to have a similar version in an extreme yes maybe it wouldn’t last that long with hot water but for the time it lasted it would a very good brush. I only use extreme brushes these days they clean just as well as any bigger brush tbh.
