Skylight and high window cleaning in Aqualane Shores.

On the canal side of a typical new Aqualane house, the pool cage runs right up to the back wall. The second-floor windows sit above the cage roof, and there's nowhere to put a ladder. That's the glass that usually goes uncleaned.

The water-fed pole reaches up and over the cage from the deck or yard. A brush loosens the salt film and pure water rinses it, so the high panes dry clear without anyone touching them. They stay on the same two-month rhythm as the rest of the exterior glass.
