Windows on skyscrapers, large homes, or office buildings can be intimidating to clean. High windows can be hundreds of feet in the air, which makes cleaning them extremely dangerous if you are unprepared. Professional window cleaning companies have safety equipment, lifts, and cleaning tools to keep them safe while working high in the sky to give you clear windows. Helping windows to be spotless requires some professional techniques and tools that extend to help them reach the far corners of your building.
Jacob’s Ladder works on homes of all sizes, meaning that we often have to clean high windows that are hundreds or multiple feet off the ground. Our team uses safety equipment and special tools to ensure that your windows are cleaned efficiently, while also protecting our technicians. Our window cleaners will reach your high windows for you, saving homeowners and family members from stress about potential injury.
Water-Fed Poles
One specialized tool that professional window cleaners use is a water-fed pole. This tool helps them to clean higher windows without leaving the ground. These poles extend to help reach second, third, or fourth-level windows without the need for ladders or lifts. These poles use purified water connected to the pole, ending in a brush head that helps the cleaners to scrub and rinse the windows at the same time. These poles help them achieve a streak-free shine without the need for carrying multiple tools or climbing to the top of a building.
Bucket Lifts Or Cherry Pickers
Window washers often use scissor lifts or bucket lifts instead of ladders to work on high windows. These lifts provide more security and safety than a ladder that leans on the side of a building. Using a bucket lift allows window washers and cleaners to safely carry all tools, additional layers to protect from the weather, and cleaning products. Safer access to windows through bucket lifts is necessary for skyscrapers, offices, or multiple-story buildings like apartments.
Industrial Ladders
Industrial ladders can be used for large homes or tall buildings that professionals feel are less difficult to scale. Traditional ladders are often just leaned against the home, but professional ladders can often look like scaffolding with legs secured into the ground or on the building with temporary fasteners. Safely accessing high windows can be difficult in busy cities or high traffic areas, so these scaffolds or industrial ladders can prevent accidents or the tipping of traditional options.
Specialized Tools To Improve High Window Cleaning Efficiency

Professional window cleaners have curved, angled, and extendable tools that are needed to protect them from falls while still providing sparkling windows. Pads with pivots for tight corners, protective clothing for high winds or winter weather, and harnesses and carabiners are special tools that professionals should implement into their daily routines.
Other tools that can help wash high windows include:
- Telescopic or extension poles
- Magnetic two-part cleaners that clean interior and exterior windows at the same time
- Purifying water systems
- Squeegee-scrubber combos
- Totating head tools
- Non-slip clothing
