window washers

High-rise cleaning crew

Window washers are workers who clean windows, especially on tall buildings.

The term typically evokes professionals suspended on scaffolding or platforms high above city streets, though it applies equally to anyone cleaning windows for pay: The window washers showed up while we were eating breakfast.

Also called window cleaners.
