many people rave about how good the bently is
its heavy and stiff    takes a lot of pressing to get any splay out of it
maybe i got the wrong type
its a pale blue from wilkinsons  £2 99
how dyou get it to splay
im thinking a lot of the bristles gotto come out  its too dense

[d s windowcleaning]

the bently i got was £1.44 from asda and it says bently on it , its light grey in colour so you may have got the wrong one .

[KINGAKNAA]

Yup, defo wrong one, get to Asda asap!!

The all new Tesco Melody is a Charles Bentley and sons  revamp. They also make it for J Sainsburys marketed as their Basic broom £2.59. Its a different model to the stiff oval Flocked Bentley we are used to but with longer flocked bristles it has stacks and stacks of splay. I shaved 1/2" off the flocked ends to make it a monofilament. I suggest its  OK for regualrly cleaned windows but not for initial cleans which need a good scrub. Weighs 8.5 oz
Cheers.

well any of you guys want to come to derbyshire looking for a
decent brush   forget about it
its a barbarian land
i went to tesco asda wilkos 30 mile radius
im suicidal to the point that im so desperate id go to far off nottingham
its a 60 mile trip
somebody tell me i can get a decent brush there

14 quid with postage 

[jikwan]

never thought to try sainsburys jeff
ill give it a go

the concept of loads of splay

i think its only good for areas where youre just washing off
rain+dust mixed
splayed brush wont (im assuming) move flycrap
i think i still got a lot to learn about brushes

thanks for ebay guys   14 quid might be cheaper than going
halfway round the world

Hi All,

My 2 peneth

1.  The "Asda"  Bentley
        A bit stiff, Ideal for conservatory roofs and facias

2.  The Tesco Melody
          This brush has been changed about October time and is a bit narrower.
          I have loads of the original ones and get on fine with them

I don,t need any brushes at the moment.  When I do I am going to:

1.   Try the new Tesco Melody
2.   Order a pack of 6 ADDIS brushes as they look the biz

Fondled an Addis brush in Focus yesterday. looked pretty resonable - about £6 i think.

[johnny_h]

im being a bit thick here but do you drill the brushe s and add jets ??

[jikwan]

if youve got fan jets some bristles might get in the way
of the spray 
can cut them with nail siscors
im using 3 jets at the moment
but i think 4 jets might be optimum

[Jeff Brimble]

Some brushes, Btm left Bentley Asda £1.44, Btm rt cut down Tesco old  Melody, next to it, broom holder removed New Tesco melody/J Sainsbury Basic(same brush.

[Alex Gardiner]

Can I play?

[Jeff Brimble]

twas a £1.99 special from a pound shop somewhere, v.light and I had great hopes for it but the bristles are a combination of soft and hard and only suitable as a scrubbing brush for incredible dirty windows, no splay, shame really.

[windowwashers]

  You guys need to get out more. is this a fetish thing ?
