That is a good thing.

In the spirit of your post, may one offer the following helpful hints:

You always want to make sure you can reach the entire window comfortably. This applies to whether you’re standing on the ground or on a ladder. Excessive strain could be the cause for all the problems you may be having, not to mention you might loose your balance and fall. To check your reach, stand in front of the window. Without actually touching the glass, take your squeegee in hand and wave it over the entire window to see if you can reach it with one even swipe. If it feels comfortable, proceed with cleaning. If the entire window cannot be reached, you may need a bigger ladder, an extension pole, or will need to clean it in small sections at a time. Unless you’ve had a lot of practice using an extension pole, you should stick to doing the window in small sections.

If Wide streaks appear after a single pass with the squeegee this may be because the squeegee might be pressed against the glass too hard with each pass. So relax your grip a little and pull the squeegee across the glass with a lighter amount of pressure. Alternatively, a section of the water on the glass has dried before it was squeegeed. A partially dried window will streak every time. Just re-wet the glass with more window cleaning solution and squeegee it again. Streaks can also be caused from an old or worn out squeegee rubber. Try replacing the old rubber blade with a brand new one.

Do so hope you find these tips helpful and keep you out of those nasty places that have midget-tossing competitions, 'cos that's where you're heading mush....
