Washboy

[afright]

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

 

[afright]

I still use a sponge on small jobs but on big jobs always use a WB.

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?

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.

 

[Old Mod]

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! 😀

Still don't think you can beat a old woolen jumper for cleaning grout of the floors the way we used to do it.

 

[Old Mod]

We used to clean floors with silversand driers and rags 😀

Thanks 3 fall,yes it has been a struggle but still battle on but have cut back on the work,just pick out the easy jobs that are less involving.I remember swabbing the floors with the old bath towel.

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

I use my Karl dahm wash boy everywhere I go, unless it's tight behind a pipe then it's down to a sponge 😉
