How large? Just use a bigger squeegee/scrubber, get an Unger Fixiclamp & an extension pole.

No, not if you work on your technique. I clean trad' up to that height & beyond. It gets more difficult the further you go, but it's doable with a good result. You could also pay a local wfp user to do your problem windows - another way to network.

I have been trad poling for years. It takes a lot of practise but can be done effectively. Please go to my youtube site by visiting the video section of this forum and click on the link for Wagga's videos. Grin
