Im looking at buying the dr squeegie sill brush as ive heard very good things about it. We clean all windows, frames, sills, door ways, garages etc, so i do need a good brush that can clean all these areas thoroughly.

One problem is that i know sill brushes can be heavy, im currently using aluminum poles which are quite rigid so they should cope with this fine. But my plan is to soon buy all clx or slx poles, im just worrying that they wont be very compatible with a heavy sill brush.

So my other thought was to get carbon goosenecks with them which should give me a great angle with a normal superlite brush to clean the sills etc perfectly and still be rigid and light, not putting any stress on the pole.

What do you think guys has anyone else used these set ups? I know the superlight sill brushes are popular, they just dont seem to last long as they dont have many bristles, and with some of the faster softer brushes they dont seem to have enough scrubbing power for my preference.

Im also going to be buying a hotwash so im sure that will help with scrubbing power as i wont need such a stiff brush then.

What in your opinion guys would be the very best pole set up to do the very best of jobs? Thanx.

Get the carbon neck & attach the gardiner brush you wont want to mess about after you feel it's lightness your old brushes will be like bricks on pole in comparison.

Gardiners do supply an upgrade to older poles so you can fit the quick change clamp for brush swaps  Iv got 3 brushes to choose from the carbon gooseneck + Extreme,swivel + SL DT & a standard + SL DT can switch in less than 1 min for any job type  Cool

Thanx guys, im ordering a clx with medium flat superlite sill brush and carbon gooseneck. Also gonna get a Dr Squeegie sill Saver for my aluminium pole, best of both worlds ill decide which i prefer after doing all my work with them. Got a feeling i wont ever be buying anything other than gardiners in the future.  Smiley
