Thanks for the idea of youtube.

My opinion. I would scrub the glass vertically rather than horizontally. I would also adjust the brush head to be pointing down more to be able to scrub the window sill.
Mine too. I don’t want to criticise as I haven’t upload my technique but feel that brush angle might scratch the cill

That’s interesting about windows misting up when you clean. I have a few of those too. I’ve never given it much thought, but had wondered if the customer ever tried to blame me! At least I know the reason now. Cheers 👍

You can be sure it'll at least cross their minds that its you, unless they know the real reason it'll only make sense that "its that flippin window cleaner spraying all that water on the glass" even though they probably wont say, it'll definatley cross their minds!

Interesting.

Think I will stay put with  6-18" radial ultra-lite brushes

Are they actualy effective in the UK, I mean with the deep frames on the regular say 1m x 1m with 2 opener windows we have so many of here?, I can imagine that being good for the large panes of glass wihtout much frame work but just cant imagine how they might transition from frame to glass on the 50-70mm deep frames.

The end caps on those brushes have been replaced with a softer plastic to prevent them making such a loud noise when hitting the window frames which solved that problem.

Them brushes have a lot of nozzles on the rinse bars so the set up needs larger pole hose (8mm) and ideally 8-10mm hose on the hosereel to get a really good flow of water to the brush to be really effective without using too much water.

If using 5 or 6mm pole hose then it's too small, which is reducing the flow of water too much to make it an effective brush which in turn flattens a battery as the flow rate has to be turned up too high to compensate for a poor water flow..

They are quality brushes but ideally the bristles could do with being longer for first cleans but are sufficient for regular cleans.

I could never go back to a regular stock brush (except for ancient art deco style very curved glass style windows) as I would get so impatient waiting for a decent coverage of water to start cleaning the windows, anything else just feels so slow in comparison to using these brushes now. Using a regular brush with a 5mm pole hose is like waiting for Xmas, takes forever.

Really do like the concept of these brushes, I know from using the reach it brush for a short period of time in the past that they have a very scrub to them. I dont why all bristles arent like that.

I suppose that there is a transition period when switching to a brush like this, I can remember finding the one I had awkward and each type of window was a whole new learning curve, I just became diss-interested pretty quick as I had work to be getting on with.

Was damn heavy too, this is 170g right?
