brush for 175?

[Mikey P]

We like the brush on piles and pads like Barry mentioned on Berbers and gluedowns

The one from Clean freak will work well.
For a smaller machine jon don has this one at a great price.

Good price..but based on that picture, its definitely used. There is carpet yarn in the bristles and scratches in on the glide...So if you don't mind getting used items you could probably find even cheaper used ones.

I too, am looking for a brush. I hear these are good.

That's the brush I've used for the last 2 years or so and it works well although I've migrated to the grey MF with scrub strips. I think they scrub carpets a bit better than the brush.

I have tried using the cleanfreak brush for scrubbing grout lines. It works pretty good although I am considering the Don-Jon brush to get a bit more aggressive scrubbing action. I wonder if it's aggressiveness will be a problem and scratch porcelain or ceramic tiles however. Wnayone know if it would?

Would you happen to have a link for the grey mf pads with scrub strips?

Directmopsales usually have the best price on those microfiber pads.

How long do these last? Do you wash and reuse?

 

[Zee]

Wash and reuse.... Until you notice the microfiber coming apar.

The problem with this one and the reason it's most likely on clearance is the bristles are polypropylene. Go with a NYLON brush and it will last for years.

Clean freak has great customer service! ! I ordered me one, my garage floor is too smooth so I took it outside(7 degrees now).. I keep my neighbors wondering. .

This is for a 17" machine. You may need a different size.

I bought a blue power flite brush when I first got in the business or wore it down to the nub. Looking back I hated it because it was a pain to clean. Lint and debris would literally get caked in the bristles. To clean it I would turn in on while it was laying back on the ground and stick a metal fork in it which would kick out the lint. Then all the debris would have to be swept up. Fast forward a couple years I bought one from a member here used and love it. It never gets dirty other than needing a quick rinse with a hose, and I have used it on tile and carpet. I am not sure where it came from but it has all black bristles. To me the one from clean freak looks the most promising. If the bristles are real thick, I think that can cause the brush to get stopped up. Just my observations. If the brush is too soft it won't scrub good. I am going to try the clean freak brush out pretty soon.

This is what you need Daniel. I spent too many hours with a garden hose and a brush comb when I was a kid.

You need a nylon brush that has 0.028 diameter stiff nylon bristles . . .
Most suppliers carry flimsier brushes . . .
Here is ours for a 17" floor machine . . .
