3. Dry the frames, sills, and window panes with clean dry rags. Make sure all surfaces are completely dry and free of any cleaning solution.
4. Next, apply the cleaning solution to the window panes and allow them to soak for a few minutes. This will help to loosen any dirt or grime on the glass.
Steps 5-9
5. Scrub the glass again, using the microfiber sponges. Make sure to use a circular motion and pay extra attention to any areas that still have dirt or grime.
6. Dry the top and left side of the glass with a super dry rag, making a dry line. This will prevent drips and streaks on the glass.
7. Use the squeegee to clean the glass, making sure to use a firm and steady stroke. Start from the top and work your way down, making sure to overlap each stroke and clean the rubber of the squeegee after each pass.
8. Check to see if the glass needs to be scrubbed again or if any tough spots need to be cleaned off using a razor blade.
9. Dry the right side and bottom of the window and frames with a clean dry rag.

These devices will help to prevent the ladder from slipping or moving while you are on it. Use proper ladder techniques: Always face the ladder when climbing up or down, and use both hands to hold onto the ladder. Do not lean out too far to one side, and maintain three points of contact with the ladder at all times. Wear safety equipment: When working on ladders, it's important to wear slip-resistant shoes. Training and experience: It's important to have proper training and experience when working on ladders. It's not just about knowing how to climb and work on ladder but also recognizing potential hazards and taking appropriate measures.
Before each use, inspect ladders for any signs of damage, wear and tear, and ensure that all locking mechanisms are working properly.
Have a partner or someone around: When working on ladders, it's always a good idea to have a partner or someone nearby in case of an emergency.
