The case: a glass wall and tall upstairs windows
An imagined case. Jawad lives in a house with a big glazed wall on the ground floor and, upstairs, windows whose tops sit well beyond his reach. He planned to do them himself one Saturday with the small stepladder from the garage and a bucket on the top step.
When it came to climbing, he hesitated: the ground under the ladder slopes slightly, the window opens outward, and nobody is there to hold the foot. He backed off, and that was the right call. The rest of this article follows his questions one by one, because they are the ones to ask in front of any window that is too high.
Can I do it myself without risk?
One rule holds for every home: if you must lean outside, stand on furniture, or let go with both hands to wipe, the glass is too high for an improvised clean. A saving is not worth a fall.
Oujda has a semi-arid climate, with cool winters and hot, dry summers. In any season, pick a day without strong wind and without wet ground around the house, and avoid working in direct sun on a surface that heats up.
What a professional checks before climbing
Before setting up a ladder, a careful professional looks at the ground, the sill, any cables or balconies overhead, and how the sash opens. They may also ask whether someone can steady the base. You do better to give them this in advance, in writing, than to discover it together at the foot of the wall.
State the glazing type too: single, double, sliding door, glass roof, roof window. Some surfaces call for a different gesture and more suitable equipment.
What you can prepare before the visit
Clear the ground in front of the windows, move nearby pots and furniture, and put away anything that could fall. Indoors, take down curtains and clear sills. Tell the person where the nearest water point is.
A short exchange before the day is enough: how many windows, what heights, what access. You can describe all this on the window cleaning page, then receive proposals. Adom connects people and does not employ anyone: you choose the person and agree what is included. Pricing is a free personalised quote on AdomApp, with payment after the service.

Frequently asked questions
Which ladder should I use for high windows?
Choosing equipment is the professional's call, since they judge the ground and the window on site. If you do it yourself, a stable ladder on level ground, held by a second person, beats an improvised stool.
What if the ground around the house is sloped or slippery?
Do not climb. Tell the professional before the visit: they will decide on the method, or postpone.
Do I need to be home while the windows are cleaned?
It is better if someone can open up, point out the windows and check the result. If that is not possible, agree in advance on access and on the rooms involved.
Are the upstairs windows and the ground-floor glass done in the same visit?
It can be, if you describe them in the same request. Just give the height of each.
How do I avoid streaks on the glass?
Ask the professional how they work, and avoid cleaning in direct sun, where the product dries too fast. The timing is something to settle with them.
How much does window cleaning cost on AdomApp?
Pricing is a free personalised quote on AdomApp, based on the number of windows and how easy they are to reach. Payment comes after the service.
