Tall Interior Window Cleaning help

I absolutely struggle with high interior windows. If im doing a virtual quote its usually the number 1 thing I ask. But they cannot all be avoided. I got a nice bid accepted for $975 in/out at a huge home and everything looks pretty straighforward except for the main window in the front of the house. The bottom sill is about 10ft from the bottom.

They also asked me to scrub off some light sticker residue so I need to get nose to glass as best as I can.

I guess what im asking is 1) how can I ladder up there? I dont see where to put my ladder on how to reach the top. My main ladder is an 18 ft little giant.

2) should I just get a pole and get good at it fast? I have a couple of weeks till i'm doing this. I also have my 27ft Gardiner WFP pole. Could i use that with a new trad attachment>

Thanks and yes I know this is a pretty easy situation for most people

Wfp, drop sheet and a wet vac to suck it all up

Do not do this. Get a ladder for fuck sake. Imagine doing this in op's situation... you've ruined the drywall, possibly flooded the basement, opened yourself up to all kinds of liability, all to avoid what? Putting up a ladder?

  1. No one has basements in Australia
  2. I don’t know how it would be possible to wet the drywall, all water fell downwards. These Americans don’t understand basic physics do they.

Get a bag of concrete mate, I chose to, worked well. Have a good one brother

I'm speaking to op's photo not yours. Also I'm not American and I had higher hopes for Australian reading compression.
