How to Wash High Windows

Sat Mar 24 01:00:00 PDT 2018

Cleaning high windows can be tricky, especially if they are above a sloped area or in a hard to reach spot. High windows also tend to get very dirty, especially if they have not been wiped or washed in awhile. Though you can hire a professional to wash high windows, doing them yourself can save you money and give you the satisfaction of maintaining them on your own. By using an extendable pole on a day that is not too sunny or hot, you can have clean, streak-free windows in no time.

If all else fails, invest in a pair of handy shirt stays or make the switch to a more casual untucked style.
