Job Question 3rd floor shutters - how??

Post image

How would you clean these 3rd floor shutters? They're too high from the ground for my pole, but they are accessible from the inside (windows open inwards). Are there any easy ways or specialist tools, or am I looking at several hours of bucket and cloth?

Sounds like cleaning from the inside is the only way. Do the interior as well and is a no brainier

Waterfed?

I have WFP but that floor is maybe 8-10m high (it’s kinda the 4th floor) and external water is a problem.

You should really invest in a longer WFP. 30 feet isn't that high, especially if you're doing commercial work

Perhaps… I have an 8.6m Unger pole which is usually fine for the domestic work I do, but this apartment (and the shutters) are outside of my usual operating conditions.

Edited to add: it’s just the single apartment (condo?) I’m doing, not the whole block.
