Large shop front technique

[DeLaCruz]

Have a couple lareg estate agents i clean the windows get very dirty as on the seafront - windows are slightly too high (literally by about 60-90cm) to do from ground level and several very wide panels - i have tried a work platform (screwfix painters one kinda thing) but it felt still a little to low. So i been using little giant ladder which is good but heavy kit / slow to move around, overall it feels like a slow method and i am sure there is something quicker -what kit would you use for this ? Tripod WC ladder maybe ? Or pole with flip applicator / squeegee ? any other methods appreciated -thanks

Either use a pole or an a frame ladder

This is exactly how I do it if not using wfp
Do the top few inches until you can reach then do the rest by hand

Just get a little pole . . . I have an original mini Unger Optiloc pole 2 x 60cm sections = 1.2m long extended, this is the newer one on e bay at the moment (not me and not my photo) . . . I find it invaluable.

Pole with flick pad down to reachable level then normal trad.

Forget that carry on
Get your self a broom stick saw it in half and stick it in your blade and pad job done.

That is too easy but thought this is better then a broom stick.​

Always important to have angle adapter on your pole so to adjust angle your squeegee is to the glass.
On higher windows.
This is the one we use but you can have it on WFPs as well for higher areas that need cleaning with Cobweb Brushes, as well as your water fed brushes.
