Dirty Window Dilema: Hypothetically speaking, (ie, not an actual event) IF you lived in a 21st floor apt...?

... would you ever consider washing your own windows from the outside?

If so, do you have any techiques to share with regards to safety?

In no, a simple wtf or idk will suffice.

FYI This a survey, i.e. a method of gathering data from respondents thought to be representative of some population (i.e. you).

This is not to be mis-construed as an actual event or chatting. We live in a tent in a crater, so this cannot be happening to us.

Are we clear?

    Here's what you do...

    1) Find a small child and offer them candy if they help you with a little project.

    2) Get to the roof of the building and securely tie a rope around the child’s ankle and tie the other end of the rope to something secure (i.e. lead pipe, potted plant, gargoyle)

    3) Hand the child a soapy squeegee and paper towel.

    4) Low the child down carefully as to not bounce him or her up against the building.

    5) Once you’ve reached the desired window, tie off the rope and run downstairs to said window

    6) Point to spots that the child has missed so that he or she can learn.

    7) Answer emails, eat lunch, watch TV until adequate time has passed for the child to be finished.

    8) Leisurely stroll buck up to the roof being careful not to rush for you might get a side ache from the lunch you just consumed.

    9) Hoist the child back up, untie them, hand them their candy bar, pat them on the head and say, “well done (insert child’s name here).” Children need positive reinforcement so they don’t become psychotic in later years.

    10) Gather the rope up for next time, head back downstairs and enjoy the view from your clean windows.

    Anything above the 8 floor, I would not clean my windows from the outside...! A professional company can do it, should be part of the rental contract....!

    Anything below the 7 floor ,I would hire someone, to clean my windows, if there are more than 10 windows to clean....!

    ....you welcome!
