  1. @darkskies1989 … and also, just the right touch is needed to achieve a satisfying result.

  2. Yes, but a jet washer won’t work on the massive amounts of caulk and silicone that a new construction like this one’s got. Nothing will ever do as good of a job as a man with a squeegee, scraper, and scouring pad. Buckets of water have worked on windows for over a hundred years.

    we use those jetwashers on most of the buildings; eureka is just a bit awkward with it’s shape i guess, needs a mans hand to do the job lol

  4. just done the house windows that was bad enough !!! massive respect for these guys .

  5. I use to fabricate & install these same kind of window washing systems here in the U.S.A. (Livonia, Mich.) I’ve “been there & done that” many times before. One thing that surprises me though is the platform that you are using, is a solid panel design?? No wonder your worried so much about the wind in & around the building !! It has no where to pass through your platform!! Not a good design in my opinion, especially near the water, where the wind is always coming from. Great Video though !!

  6. @altoids79762 then you might keep a wary eye cocked for relatively low flying jets

  7. I’m the taller one in this vid, and no our wage wasnt that good! try 20 bucks an hour! i absoloutely LOVED this job though, got heaps of sick photos of sunrises over melbourne! Thanks evryone for the positive comments, i dont work on the tower anymore but it is still one of the best jobs i’ve ever had! if anyone get a chance to try it i say go for it! :)

  8. Yeah but most of Australia (including the Melbourne area) is in massive drought with serious water restrictions

  9. you’d think they would have better technology than buckets of water…Im a widnow washer in USA and we have jetwashers

  10. Thanks for sharing this insightful video to everyone who doesn’t really know just what goes on in a window washer’s job on a tall building. Very informative and enjoyable to watch!

  11. i went to top of that for school thingy the other night went on an edge thing were get in a glass cube and go 3m out and u dont see anything underneth you except for an 88story drop my legs buckled in there lol

  12. And where is the safety line, i don’t see them…? It should not be secured to the scaffold…!

  13. This is a great insight into high rise window cleaning. It really looks like a lot of hassle having to clean those windows, not to mention scary.
    I think i’ll stick to cleaning two storey buildings.

  14. My knees were buckling even as I was watching….you guys are crazy! What a job!
