Had the pleasure of being one of a three man crew cleaning this beauty in Seattle.

WOW...I'll bet that took more than one roll of paper towels!

Exactly how do you clean something like that?

We used two 40 ft man lifts and one scissor lift then straight up to the top in a basket a few cans of sprway glass cleaner and diapers. One piece at a time working down with the scissor lift working the bottom area.

This is the second one at the north end of the hall. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for looking.

Interesting...I often find what others consider mundane to be interesting.

Somebody has to do it...I had never given much thought to who or how.

Good heavens! Beautiful, but I'll wager the artist never anticipated the cleaning job.
