I have observed almost every high-rise office building around me this past week having their windows washed. These guys have nerves of steel to do this everyday. There are 18 images once the upload is completed.

Hi Erv, Dawn dishwashing liquid diluted in warm water is the solution of choice. These guys are union employees so do make out pretty good. It's tough work though, not just the being over the side of the building part, but windy and cold too.

Thanks for looking,
Chris

Hi Jeanbug, yes, I would have to agree.

Thank you Mile for looking and commenting. I prefer to stay on my side of the glass too.....although I did take a ride one time in the window washing rig about 15 years ago. I'd probably pass today.

No way, Jose. I'm not fond of heights or being cold. My hat is off to the guys with "El grande cajones".
