PureTech window cleaning has over 20 years of experience cleaning both domestic and commercial windows along with conservatories, solar panels and pretty much any other glazed surface inside or outside a property.
Many of the homes and businesses we clean have awkward to reach areas that require specialist window cleaning equipment that only a professional would use.
It seems a lack of specialist equipment is not a barrier to some people attempting to clean difficult to reach windows nor is a risk to their own personal safety!
In this post, we’ve compiled some of the most dangerous, crazy and frankly life-threatening attempts to clean windows that we’ve come across.
Whilst we admire the desire to have beautifully clean windows we definitely recommend you do not try any of these techniques yourself!
Standing On Your Windows = Recipe for Disaster
We’re not sure if this chap is trying to clean the window he’s stood on or the one above. Either way, his approach is defiantly not going to catch on!
Don’t Look Down
On the top photo, you wonder ‘How Bad Could This Be?’
On the second photo you realise it’s bad………….very very bad!
Somebody Missed the Health and Safety Briefing on Ladder Safety
Ladder safety basic rules;
1. Ensure your ladder is placed on a sound and stable surface
2. Do not overreach as this may make the ladder unstable
3. Ideally, ask someone to hold the bottom of the ladder so there is less chance of movement
Well, we didn’t really think this one needed to be mentioned but….
4. Don’t place the ladder on a small ledge several floors up on a high rise building
Safety in Numbers
They do say a job shared is a job halved. In this case, a job shared may just mean you’ll have to share an ambulance!
Daredevil Window Cleaning is Not a New Phenomena
We’re not sure exactly when this photo was taken but judging by the quality it seems a fair few years ago. The property shown looks very nice with some beautiful details around the windows. In fact, it looks so nice we thought they may be able to afford a ladder for the poor cleaner.
Throw in Some Snow for Added Jeopardy
Cleaning your first-floor windows in your dressing gown and in the snow, what could be a better idea. Her next job was apparently polishing the toaster whilst taking a shower!
