I have found window cleaning to be surprisingly lucrative. Unfortunately I have an overwhelming fear of heights. To access second story glass surfaces a lot of cleaners use telescopic poles. Any that I've used are in the 6-12' range and for whatever reason I can never seem to get the same results as if I was actually cleaning the surface by hand? Any suggestions? Is there a trick to cleaning with a pole and not leaving behind terrible looking streaks?

Any help is appreciated!

Traditional cleaning at 2nd storey height with a pole is really quite a skill, and would take a lot of practice.
The alternative is to use a water fed pole system. The basic principle is to use water that has been purified & de-ionised to remove any dissolved minerals, pumped up the pole, and onto the window. A brush is used at the top of the pole to agitate the dirt, and you simply scrub - rinse and walk away.
The windows dry streak free all by themselves!

For really dirty windows you can use a propane powered on demand water heater (Campervan or RV heaters are perfect) and the hot water works even better. For greasy windows, a 500:1 mix of isopronoyl alcohol helps, and doesn't affect the finish.

A DIY setup can cost less than $1000 and has huge earning potential,.. as ultra-lightweight poles are now being produced that reach windows 60' high and above!

There's loads of info on another forum I'm on,.. but its probably rude to post a link. PM me if you want more info.

I agree with the first comment, It will take a lot of practice to get a good result in cleaning window in 2nd storey building by using pole.. I really prefer cleaning it with my hands.. I think it's best for you to practice it...
