Washboy

[Mad Hatter]

I've never used one but I've always been curious about them and the Rubi one that is on offer in CTD at the moment keeps catching my eye every time I go in, is it worth investing in one?

once you have used one , you will wonder how you managed without it...especially on floors........

Dont expect that using a washboy will be a magic cure. You need to give it a little time to get used to it. The sponges take a little bedding in IMO. Give it time and like Dave says, you wil never go back. I rarely use it on walls unless they are big walls.

I'm glad you mentioned the walls as i can't get to grips with it,
but the floors are now getting there. Not had one long and thought
i'd give it a go.
As already mentioned i think like most things it's patience.

have two bal wasboys one dural wash bath and a cheap nasty from the lidl which is fine with a good sponge float had them years and on the walls i use a larsen15kg adhesive bucket and a bal sponge works just fine....lol

I ve used many makes of washboy can not find one better than another
agree with dave its the quality of the sponge at the end of the day its only a bucket with rollers

Ye I may just stick with the bucket and sponge for me walls. Sounds like a good plan to me!
