Adhesive removal
Hello, I’ve been cleaning windows for about 5 years now always residential and small buildings but this is my first time cleaning windows at a construction site. Saying that I’ve switched my whole routine as how I go about cleaning windows. I’ve switched over to a porcupine sleeve to help remove dust, paint, and some adhesive. But I can’t seem to get all of the adhesive off.
So my question is how do you guys remove adhesive with out getting up and personal with the windows. I’m currently going to each window with a ladder, blading them with soapy water.
Is there another tile of sleeve or a solution I can add to my water to help?

Is this a real award?
I recently received this in the mail and was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience, and curious if it’s an actual award.
The rating is free, but if you’re interested in getting a plaque, you’ll need to pay between $99 and $300, which seems a bit steep.
I’m not planning to spend money on it, but it’s still interesting to know I’m ranked #4, assuming it’s legitimate.

How to clean?
Soft washed this house and customer sent me these pictures so I want to clean it up for them. Any suggestions? They tried using water and white vinegar and it didn’t come. Would steel wool work or would I need some solution to clean this off? Suggestions?

WFP on large commercial buildings
Let me start by saying I absolutely love WFP. It’s helped me become a better and safer window cleaner, but we’ve recently transitioned to doing a lot of large commercial buildings, mostly two story, and not once have I cleaned a building using WFP with results up to my standard. On residential it works perfectly, but I cannot solve the top seal dripping problem on commercial.
I’ve spoken with industry experts, and tried everything they have suggested, but I’m starting to think I just need a large ladder and to do everything by hand.
Pencil jets, rinse bar, not scrubbing the top seal, rinsing the top half of the pane first, nothing has helped and I’m very open to new ideas. It’s been a great opportunity to get more of these large buildings, but I don’t want to do it if it’s going to continue to be this frustrating. Thanks everyone!

Best compact trad pole?
Looking at the Gardiner SLX Micro 17’, Maykker Mini 2.0 with the add-on extension, and the WMS 16’ Carbon Fiber Trad Pole.
I do a lot of storefront work and want something that collapses down small but still has decent reach for tight spaces.
Anyone have experience with these poles? Which would you recommend? Open to other suggestions too.

How do you safely place an extension ladder on these landscaping rocks?
I need to access a 2nd story window on one of the gable ends of a house where they have these landscaping rocks underneath. To setup my ladder at the proper angle (4-to-1 vertical height/distance from wall) the feet would be sitting on top of them. Is this ok?
If I move the rocks out of the way, there's a plastic sheet (anti-weed) underneath. Do I really have to remove that so I hit solid dirt to make this safe?
