Well just had to buy another Karl Dahm as my old Karl Dahm has now split after having it a number of years and has done me proud,over the years I have had a few WB's did get the Genesis WB last year but that did not last(get what you pay for) must admit the KD is the best out there.

Does everybody use a washboy , or does anyone still use the old reliable sponge

A washboy doesn't half save you time and make it easier for a clean finish. And you can still you a sponge for touch ups.

I'd always use a washboy for floors and nearly always on walls.

Just doesn't make sense to fanny around using all 6 sides of a sponge and keep changing the water.

Hey Albert! :)
At the risk of sounding patronising, which I'm not, got to admit I do admire you Albert. I know u have extra challenges to face everyday, and I think you're incredible mate!
Hats off!
I'd give u a thumbs up, but this is the only way I can do it! :D

I'm thinking of trying the Karl Dahm, heard a lot of good things.
My Rubi's 9yrs old now and still going strong but getting a little fed up with slipping in to the bucket at least a couple times a job as the sponge dips in between the rollers and pings one off! Haha
Where d'u get your Karl Afright?
Still don't think you can beat a old woolen jumper for cleaning grout of the floors the way we used to do it.

Never used the genesis wash boy but I rate their Velcro backed replacement sponges as the best I've tried...tend to take a couple of jobs to 'wear in' but they really seem to hold water a lot better than other sponges and last ages.. great for walls as well as floors
