I have decided that I really hate getting the ladders out to clean our first floor windows. It should be easy enough - a very standard house with what appears reasonable access. But in reality there are all sorts of things that make it more difficult than it should be. E.g. terraced house so have to carry ladders all the way round, house design means there are few good places to rest the tops of the ladders, etc. And especially unpleasant when it is cold - even if running up and down the ladders does warm me up. And, to be honest, I don't really like ladders very much.
So what is the best non-ladder technique and equipment? Leifheit pole? B&Q combi? Pressure washer attachment? (Got a cheap Nilfisk.) It is not a large house so do not intend to spend more than necessary.
