How do you guys clean the windows above a tiled porch roof.
I tend to put my ladders up and climb on top but some of the roofs can be a bit steep.
If its to steep i use a backflip on a pole and hope for the best.
But i do have a lot of customers with leaded lights on these windows is there anything i can attach to a standard pole to clean these.
Not a wfp cant afford one of these at the moment.

i do same as you grab window sill and walk up th roof only got about 3 or 4 of these. if the roofs are wet i give them a miss not risking falling of. :-/

Ask to do them from inside or miss them that clean.

every other time walk up the roof

the other time wrap a scrim around a mop head and "attempt" to do it that way

Another way you could do it without the use of a wfp:-
Use one applicator on a pole only slightly wet, and go over the window. Then take a new perfectly dry applicator and dry off. If it helps you can have your scrim wrapped round the applicator for even faster results. I use this method for skylights and difficult to reach inside work.

The easiest way to do this id soap up with applicator then attach a fixi clamp with your cloth perfect finish and safest.

Thanks very much for all of your replies i will try them all and see what works best for me.
Go and buy a fixi clamp tomorrow that sounds what i am after

I'd try my method first, otherwise you'll be up and down with your pole and moving the scrim to find a dry bit.
With the applicator, once one side is wet you just twist it round. Then finish off on the edges with the fixiclamp (or a scrim wrapped round your 6").

Just got in and tried it out your way today
It worked out great and a lot quicker than getting up there to do it and a lot safer.

Didn't use a fixi clamp though have got to go and get one which i will do friday when i am near where i get some of my supplies.

Thanks again

I've been meaning to get one, but I have a small grabber 1.5 metres long, never really use it - its a pain catching everything in the back of the van, that is whenever I try & get anything out.
