It's not so obvious from the picture but the bristles point downwards more on the side you can see thus helping to clean the sill in a single action.

Check out "Sill/cill brush" thread by Gaz Hh20

Vikan works, but it's b****y heavy >:(

And it's flocked bristles.

I have one and it does seem to work fine for cleaning sills in one movement.  However, I do find it a bit awkward to use on frames with vents because the jets point higher than on other brushes and there is not always the room to stand back more to adjust the work angle to cpmpensate.  Also, these brushes are not as wide as most other brushes (sideways) so more brushing is needed.  I do find it useful for particular jobs and it has been a very adequate stand in while my other brush thawed out in a freeze up.

I don't have them at  the mo but my ex buis partner has them and i prefer using them, when i upgrade my heads on my poles i think i will be purchasing them myself, but only on my 12ft pole and 18ft pole, i think any higher they are a bit heavy.
