Just wondering how they manufacture these new Superlights? Are they produced in long lengths and then cut into individual brushes? The reason i ask is because i'm just curious how easy it would be to produce different sizes or even different widths?

[Alex Gardiner]

I can have produced anything you want.  It is relatively easy to produce different sizes and widths but the minimum order would be 200-1000 (depending on which manufacturer you use).  We are working on three new brushes in addition to the dual trim and the single trim.  Brushes to come are:  flocked, sill and large brush.

Mmm i see, they look to have been sawn from a larger sheet and cut to size. I tend to use a very small Bentley probably only five inches long with the jets as close to the centre as possible purely for cleaning outside guttering. Bentley bristles don't last five minutes with hard cleaning, whereas yours seem very hard wearing, a nice length with a handy narrow stock, would seem a shame to hack a full brush down but if you ever bring out some varying sizes it might be interesting.
 Do you think there would be any advantage in a deeper dual trim? Say with another row or two or do you feel that you have the optimum dimensions?

cut a full size into TWO smaller gutter cleaning brushs, bingo, you are sorted

Yes i've already thought of that one but you don't get that nice splay both ends. AND you only get ONE sticker!

They are cut from large rectangular sheets of material and then drilled and punched to take the bristles.  Having used the latest batch of dual trim batches over the last two days I feel it would be very hard to beat the current brush.  I realize my comments need to be taken in context with the fact that I have designed and supplied this brush ( ) but having used it, I really would not want to go back to any of the other brushes I have tried.  I even was able to scrub off bee spots from a notoriously bad area of glass on a building today and it's the only brush I've ever been able to do that with.

Is anyone else interested in us bringing out an even smaller version as you suggest?  I'm always open to new ideas.

We can send another sticker to you.  We're even thinking of bringing out car stickers!

i would be intrestted in a smaller brushes for getting between bars and im sure there would be a few takers!

My thoughts exactly.  A mini brush would be helpful as it's not always possible to squeeze them through by turning them when the gap between the bars is very narrow.
I was interested in what Alex said about removing bees stuff.  I had previously believed that only a hot water system could remove that stuff and, even then, not always.
I'm still on my Bentley but that doesn't look like it has a great deal of longevity.  Nice light one to get started with though.

That brush goes through railings you just have to have a G fit gooseneck on the pole,i done 2 houses today with railings and no problem.You have to go in at an angle and come out at an angle.
