I've seen some contractors using pressure washers with telescopic wands to wash windows, but no ladders or squeegees. Can anyone tell me what the secret is? I'm tired of wasting time with ladders if I don't have to. Is there a certain chemical to use? Thanks in advance!

It can be done using a standard clean rinsing soap. You do have to rinse with DI water or RO water so that they will dry spot free. This will usually take care of it.

Great Post Scott,

You took the words right out of my mouth. Besides all of the above it really is not worth the extra pain. I would just keep using the ladder.

Your work will be much better that way. The only time I would clean windows off with a power washer, it would be to rinse them down after other types of cleaning.

Even then I would probably hit them with a regular cleaning.

Welcome to the board CSL
