WFP and corners
« on: February 08, 2008, 02:16:11 pm »
Are there any brushes that are designed to enable the bristles on WFP brushes to get into the corners. Im finding its fine downstairs when you can apply more pressure and the bristles just push outwards more, but upstairs not so easy, thought a brush with longer bristles on the ends might help.

Use a square brush but not the vikan mono,there C*** the bristles flick back bits on the glass and are one of the biggest causes of spotting.If someone says they are having bad spotting problems the chances are there using this brush.

I've got a square vikan mono and a square cleantech flocked. Cant see any difference (except mono stays cleaner). Maybe it's because I rinse off the glass?

I would try a salmon brush fitted with fans,being a crinkled mono the bristles stay dry virtually all the time so by using fans you get more water covering the brush therefore keeping it wet and making it easier to scrub.A crinkled mono with pencil jets can be hard work to use,with fans you can get away with using the same amount of water as you would with pencils though it looks like your using more.

Sorry but thats not why spotting is caused,

its got nothing to do with the brush ive used vikan for years and years so has my staff and ive sold hundreds of them the reason is either dirty brush head or not the correct procedure for cleaning or rinsing.

and im sorry but the frames, sills and glass should be cleaned to help prevent problems.

In the right hands the vikan rectangular mono or flocked are superb brushes, i've used both for over a year with no problems. the mono does flick a little to start with but is much better once broken in.
IMO the salmon brushes are pants.
