Window Cleaning Position

Video Transcript

DAVE BARKER: On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Dave Barker here in Salt Lake City, Utah. I just talked about how to assess the window, what you need for the window. The next step I want to look at is if you need to use a pole or a ladder, I'm going to show you right now to be safe. That's the most important thing. It's not worth risking yourself. I mean, I'm not going to climb up on the bucket here and try to clean this window. It's a little bit--I'm not going to actually show you how to clean the window. But if I get up here on this bucket, this could tip over. And I have done this before, but it's not really a safe method to get up here and clean this. It's not really accessible, but the risk of falling and twisting an ankle or falling on your head or something like that, it's not worth it. There's plenty of things to do. This is not the proper way of doing the window. So in the next clip, I will show you exactly what to do. Also something--with a building this high, it brings--sometimes you're going to have a home where it's two stories or three stories and you'll need a longer ladder, somewhere around 12, 24, maybe 30 feet. That's something--you want to be able to place the ladder safely. You want to be able to put that in position. I personally like to use poles most of the times especially with commercial, because I can reach up two or three stories here with a pole. I can reach up to about 30 feet which will go up to the second window up there. It's not going to do a very good job with that, but I can also--I can use a taller ladder to access that a little better. But you always want to be careful with the placement. You always want to be careful about what you use. I like to use the poles, again, because it's safe and that's the most important thing. You want to be able to look out your windows. If it's going to be risky or something like that, just don't do it. I mean you can hire a professional or you can try to spray wash the window or something like that, get yourself a--until you can do it in a safer time. So to finish up, I've told you how to be safe, and after assessing your window on size and shape, how to do that, and I'll talk about some of the equipment a little bit later. Thank you.
