Window cleaning equipment to reach and to wash high windows

Keeping the exterior of a building clean has never been more important. First impressions matter, and dirty high windows can make even a modern property look neglected. Reaching those upper floors safely is one of the biggest challenges in commercial and residential cleaning, but with the right tools you can achieve professional results without risking ladders or specialist access equipment.

In today’s window cleaning industry, many companies rely on trained staff equipped with high-quality tools that help them work faster and far more safely. One of the most effective solutions for high-reach window cleaning is the water-fed telescopic pole paired with a professional scrubbing brush and pure water system.

With this method, a soft-bristle brush agitates dirt on the glass while purified water rinses it away. Because pure water contains no minerals, it dries without leaving any streaks or marks. A water-fed pole system is also much quicker than traditional methods, and lets you clean safely from the ground at heights up to around 60ft—ideal for offices, homes, schools, shops and commercial buildings.

This technique also protects guttering and rooflines because no ladders rest against the building. It allows safer cleaning of conservatory roofs, atriums, skylights and awkward glass that you would never reach with a standard ladder. Here are some of the key advantages of using a water-fed pole to reach and wash high windows:

• Cleans up to 60 feet (around 6 floors)
• Reaches awkward windows easily
• Maintains privacy for homes and offices
• Window cleaners remain safely on the ground
• Uses zero chemicals, making it environmentally friendly

Below are the most recommended tools for cleaning high windows safely and efficiently:

1. A Carbon Fibre Water-Fed Telescopic Pole

A strong and lightweight water fed pole is the core of any high-reach cleaning setup. Carbon fibre poles are preferred because they are lighter, stiffer and easier to handle at full height. It’s always a good idea to choose a pole slightly longer than you think you’ll need—longer poles give you more reach and reduce strain when working around obstacles. Every water-fed brush attaches easily to these poles, allowing you to clean large buildings quickly and safely from the ground. The right pole can cut your cleaning time in half while maintaining full control at height.

2. Professional Water-Fed Brushes

To scrub glass effectively, you will need either a double trim brush or a window sill brush. These brushes are designed to reach tight corners and clean frames, sills and awkward edges with a strong vertical and horizontal scrubbing motion. Choosing the right brush improves your cleaning speed and helps you tackle stubborn dirt, algae and traffic film more easily.

3. A DI Vessel Filled with Resin for Pure Water

A reliable pure water source is essential, and the quickest way to produce it is with a DI vessel filled with resin. Deionisation removes all minerals from the water, giving you 100% pure water that dries perfectly clear on the glass. One of the most popular and cost-effective options is the Cedelite Premium Mixed Bed Resin bag, which provides excellent performance and long-lasting results—ideal for both beginners and established window cleaners.

With these essentials, you can clean high windows quickly, safely and without the need for ladders or harsh chemicals. For traditional cleaning at height, one of the most innovative tools available today is the Moerman “Ultimate Squeegee”. Built from the EXCELERATOR 2.0 handle + LIQUIDATOR 3.0 channel and F*LIQ sleeve, it works brilliantly on a pole and lets you clean up to around three storeys without a ladder.

Cleaning high windows no longer needs to be difficult, risky or time-consuming. With a modern water-fed pole system, pure water filtration and the right brush setup, you can deliver professional results while working safely from the ground. These tools not only speed up your workflow but also create a cleaner finish, reduce physical strain and protect the surrounding building structure from ladder damage.

Whether you clean commercial buildings, offices, schools, homes or conservatory roofs, investing in high-quality carbon fibre poles, reliable DI vessels and purpose-made brushes will improve your results and help your business stand out. And if you also handle traditional work, advanced tools like the Moerman Ultimate Squeegee allow you to achieve the same high standard on lower-level windows without switching methods.
