It may not be the very best for cleaning but in terms of making the working day as easy as possible. 18ft extreme pole, carbon fibre goose neck, and extreme 26cm mixed medium hybrid head. Lightest set up possible. After a intense deep 1st clean, using sill brush head and for a regular monthly clean thereafter always use the extreme. Windows are very seldom ever dirty again. The lightest set up makes your working day easier, less fatigue, stress on body & quicker working = more jobs possible in day. Have the mindset set of your are not in the business of cleaning dirty windows, your are in the business of keeping windows clean ongoing
Love my Gardiner WFP brush. Yes it featured in your group of goodies. Although, I think mine does have DuPont bristles. 3 years of solid work with no sign of needing to be replaced. Thanks for the video, Ashley.
Awesome job, this helped me so much. I really appreciate the way you explained each one. Just picked up one of the Gardiner brushes, I have the starter, but now I’m going to get the supreme. I thought the the flared out side blue/white brush was better for side window sills, but it looks like the supreme will be better. Anyway, love the knowledge and thoroughness
I find the cill brush is fantastic, I haven't come across a window that can't be cleaned with it, including sash windows, maybe they aren't great for gutters which is what you was using it for but for windows they are brilliant. Great vid though
Great video mate, always nice to see a honest review and not many on brush heads. Must say the ultimate flocked is my goto brush for leads even with hot water
Great review. I loved the intro. I've got the Ultimate stiff and medium, the Xtreme and the DuPont all in 35cm and they are all great brushes but as you say the Xtreme doesn't last long. You seem to have loads of scrubbing power with the DuPont but it seems to go a bit soft with hot water in my opinion.
Yeah, I have certain ones I like for different purposes. Flocked for leaded windows and fascias. DuPont for regular cleans, stiffer bristles for first cleans or tough jobs.👍🏼
I've used the Dupont hybrid brush with the natural bristles on the inner. It was great brush. Now I've just switched to the all Dupont brush. The scrubbing power is great. Definitely check both of them out 😁👌
Hi Ashley I have a gardner SLX pole but I like the look of a strimeline type boars hair but do you know if it will fit my gardner pole are what adapter I would need many thanks if I could get your address I would send you some poto bread from Ireland many thanks Ashley
Nathaniel Leitch Yes, it’s excellent. After I made this video I bought a Supreme brush with DuPont bristles and one with flocked bristles. Love them!😃👍🏼
Great video as always, I used nearly all the brushes over the years and the best one I have found is the 35cm medium universal sill brush, not overly keen on the new jet casuals though.
@@aemackintosh yeah definitely a great idea and a lot easier like you say just not made as solid as they could be, but I suppose they are new so will have teething problems
Using the ultimate as well as my main brush atm. The new supreme brush will have new TaperTec inner bristles, they seem to be even better than DuPont. Are you using larger brushes as well? I think a 45cm brush is essential too. To reduce the amount of repetitions on large panes of glass I use a 45cm flocked supreme. This is the only place where I set the controller to 99 flow, doing so, it makes rinsing on the glass possible, it takes about half the time and half the amount of repetitions. So same amount of water but fast and easy. (two weekly commercial job about 120 square metres). Don't tell anyone;-) they pay me the same:)
Great review, very useful. I purchased the same universal sill brush as you, and thought it would be amazing for sash windows, but also didn't get on with it. Found the angle of the jets was slightly high for my preferred angle and would jet water between the sash windows, couldn't get right in the corners and the bristles pointing down were too aggressive on old putty and could cause damage if not used carefully 😬. Still looking for the perfect sash window brush, going to try the new supreme dupoint brush next 👍
Chris Escott Great! I recently got the Supreme flocked brush which is awesome. I love the long bristles. They do a few other flocked brushes especially for fascia cleaning too. I like to use fan jets for things like fascias and conservatory roofs, but I prefer pencil jets for windows as they use less water.😃👍🏼
I was talking to you in another video on gloves for window cleaning that are waterproof and warm , I finally found the perfect pair on amazon after two years of buying every glove known to man lol , they’re called Wonder gloves thermo plus , black and orange in colour and are 100 per cent waterproof with a thermal lining . Been using them now for 6 weeks and not one compliant . Would advise any window cleaner to get these gloves .
Ashley - sorry if you have already covered it but what is your go to brush for fascia and soffit cleaning? Also whats your go to for first cleans? Thanks.
Hi Ashley, how do you go about cleaning windows/patio doors on flats that may be behind a Juliet bar style balcony? Is there a smaller brush or pole you may use? Thanks 🙏
If you use the Gardiner quick-loq brush fittings, or the Ova8 fittings, you can move the brush 90 degrees so it will go between the bars more easily.👍🏼
Hi a great video buddy really interesting......yeah jets streamline do brilliant pencil jets its totally changed my brush work, i used to be a boring Vikan man but now very stuck on the streamline range as they just work really well and its easy to interchange jets to fan etc or x2 jets or x4. Many thanks Andrew 😊
When it comes to brushes, squeaky clean Dave did a video using a hot water brush when doing it first clean also using ubiqs 2000, I was wondering if you could use a stiff bristle hot water brush with cold water to get the really green horrible stuff off of windows on a first clean or would it damage the pvc using cold water with hot water brushes
@@aemackintosh what options do have with brushes if I want a stiffer bristle but use cold water? I’m just thinking for first cleans that are ridiculously green and grim
Nylon bristles are stiff enough. Ultimate brushes from Gardiner has shorter bristles, so they feel stiffer and are better for scrubbing something stubborn.😉👍🏼
Gardiner do a few brushes for fascia/cladding cleaning. The Super Lite sill brush with flocked bristles is pretty good, or I quite like the Unger nLite square brush because he bristles are nice and long for getting into those awkward places.😃👍🏼
Hi Ash, I’m looking to purchase my first Gardiner WFP this weekend but I have to select a brush with my online purchase. Just wanted some advice on which type and size i should select for windows. Cheers
@@aemackintosh Thanks Ashley, forgot to mention- I also have the option for the pole hose to come with tap/valve to allow me to turn water on/off when in use (extra £22). Just wanted to know if it i is worth adding it, or wether I should pay extra for the uni valve ? Thanks
The Unger square brush that I used to use is pretty much out of stock everywhere since they have a new range coming out in February. There is a whole page on the Gardiner website for fascia cleaning brushes which are pretty good. I have been using a Super Lite sill brush with flocked bristles.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley. I think those brush bumpers are garbage, as you know, they last no time at all! I use squeegee rubber on the corners of each of my brushes, just staple the rubber on. Works perfectly & lasts a long time. Im using the same Gardiners superlite brush for more than two years now & honestly its still like new.
JD That’s a good idea. After doing this video I’m not so keen on square brushes at all any more. I went straight and bought three types of Supreme brush!😃👍🏼
I do the same, but I used gorilla glue to avoid scratching the glass if/when the rubber wears out, and you scratch the frames, gorilla glue can be scraped off over time if you want to take the rubber off...
If you keep hitting the frames, it has nothing to do with the brush but with your tecnic. The bristle will splash so you dont need to go all the way to the frames. Its not the car its the driver.
