To avoid personal and property damage we need to take a close look at ladder safety procedures. During the course of this article, I'll reference safety standards and regulations from the IWCA, ANSI, OSHA and Cal OSHA. First, let's take a look at... Correct Extension Ladder Setup: Prior to using an extension ladder, visually inspect and take the appropriate measures so that building features, such as window ledges, frames, entranceways and landscaping will not impair the safe climbing, descending and moving of a ladder. Step 1 - Lay extension ladder flat on it's back with feet of the ladder butted up against building's wall. If a wall is not available, there are overhead obstructions, or other reasons you can't use building's wall to secure ladder, a second person can assist in setting up ladder. The second person takes the place of the wall by placing his or her foot on the bottom rung of the ladder and his or her other foot on one foot of the ladder. Step 2 - Lift ladder's top while pushing forward to maintain pressure against building's wall. *Don't perform ladder work if you are not mentally or physically capable of safely accomplishing the work. *Lift with your legs, not your back...

-- "Increase Your Skills and Profits by Learning the Latest SPEED
Window Cleaning Techniques!"
Minimize Glass Scrubbing: Why scrub any longer than necessary to produce a clean window. Try making only 1 pass with your strip washer, then squeegee dry to check results. If the glass is smeared, still has marks, you'll know you'll need to scrub glass longer at that particular job location. But, if the glass comes out clear, repeat the 1 pass method, save tons of time and increase your dollar per hour rate as well! Use a Glass Scraper to Remove Everyday Insect Deposits and Food Particles: Insect deposits, especially glass with heavy fly droppings, can be cleaned faster using a glass scraper than by scrubbing and scrubbing with a strip washer. In order for this technique to improve your time and make you money faster, the glass has to be free of fabricating debris and not be coated with a tint or mirroring effect. Insect deposits are common in high interiors residences where the customer has often left a window open during the Summer. Other areas I'll use a razor blade for speed is during greasy kitchen window glass cleaning.
