Post by: scottt24 on September 09, 2010, 07:01:38 pm: agree with GB standing further back will make it easier on your neck you will also find that you wont have to put much pressure on pole as the weight of it will do it for you

also when cleaning higher windows try standing with one foot in front of the other and rock slowly from foot to foot and this will make it easier on your arms and shoulders

it will get easier :-\
