Black or White Bristles?

I would be most appreciative of your input on this question. If possible could you post your reason for your choice as well. It would be on a black stock.

Mrs A likes black because it looks macho (her words not mine!). I am leaning towards white because it allows you to see the level of dirt on the bristles whilst working. This can be useful if you think you need to rinse more, scrub more or even wash the brush head. Also I think that at height it is easier to see the white bristles on the glass. Any thoughts?

One black, and one white for me please. Don't put the two colours together because it will look like an Addis brush. Actually as long as it does the job it's fine. .........................
Although if you use a black one you won't know when it's filthy from black frame rubbers leaching. So, white it is. ;)

I've just received a 'cleaning spot' double trimmed brush with white bristles - and I kind of like the white bristles for the reason they so how much dirt is in the brush


So for me - I'd say white bristles.

I think black, because if white gets dirty custys may think your cleaning with dirty brush and you look tight for not buying a new one

Black will look like any old cheap broom you get in the shops.

I think if you want to look professional you need a colour that would not be so popular in the high street shops otherwise the customers will think he using a cheap broom from wilkinsons.

I say blue or red but white will do at a push

LOL.....My wife was just looking over my shoulder while reading this post and in her usual no nonsense manner she yelled out BLACK!!! while walking off.

"Why I said"?

"Cos you dont want a dirty white brush scrubbing windows, people will think you're using dirty water" ::)

Umm! from a customers poit of view she may have a point.

Me personally would also go for Black. I've been using the Ionics multipole brush for a while now ( same as V8edds) and it still looks and performs as good as the day I bought it, but still dieing to try one of Alex's new brushes.

I presume costing comes into the equation to have a batch of each made.

White so I can see the muck easily.

Tho' a nice shade of gold or copper might be nice ...

Or perhaps as Chris Straker wouldn't say .... "I like my brushes like my women ... strong and black!"  ;D
It's a game of three halves!
