How to Remove Cobwebs from High Ceilings - Doca Pole Deep Pro Cleaning Tips

Wanna know how to remove cobwebs from high ceilings? We use the Doca Pole amzn.to/3wLsD90 with an artichoke-looking brush. It's actually part of a kit that is designed just for tall areas like ceiling fans, entry windows, and ledges. You can use the wall duster or recessed light bulb attachments for other deep cleaning projects as well but today I'll show you why I prefer and recommend this brand to all the cleaning companies I consult for.
Note: There are some cheap knock-off versions of this on Amazon - and it will be tempting to pay half the price for what seems to be the same thing. I really don't care which one you buy but please know that the brackets on other models that hold the extension pole in place often don't stay. So while you are trying to clean using a competitor brand, the pole will slide back into itself and you'll get really mad at yourself for wasting your money.
Note 2: I also recommend the 24 ft pole over the 18 ft. pole. You can still only use it for 18ft if that is all you need. But if you ever go outside to extend the pole with your smartphone on the end as a camera looking for a leak in your roof - you'll wish you had the 24 ft pole. (The 30 ft gets a little hard to manage when fully extended at 30 ft.)

I really need that pole. I have been trying to figure out how to clean my 2 story entrance. Thank you Angela for another enlightening video!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You're welcome. If you get one, keep me posted on how it goes. I'd love to hear your experience.

[@KK7THK]

Thank you for reviewing this! I ordered a set last week, and they'll be delivered tomorrow. It looks like I made a good choice!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Keep me posted and let me know how you like it. We use it for everything from cleaning to painting. There are so many attachments you can use with this thing. They even have a saw blade that fits it for trimming limbs of tall trees. (I haven't used that attachment but it's cool to know it exists.)

[@rachelrose20]

I think Angela has read my mind! Yes, I woke up today actually thinking I need to remove the cob webs! (I’m preparing to redecorate)Thank you Angela, you lovely lady you. Love from England ❤️ xx

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Rachel, thanks for your kind words and good cheer. Love back from the USA! ♥

[@richardsmith1161]

Thank you. I just googled this the other day. This is by far the best way.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It's a great way to get rid of the cobwebs. I know a lot of professionals dust their cobweb brushes with Diatomaceous Earth crawling insect killer amzn.to/3Dm58Gj before dusting the walls. It leaves trace amounts on the walls so the bugs won't come back.

[@lgregory3131]

Another great video! Grateful to have found you, Angela! 🥰 I am now walking around the house looking for cobwebs 🕸🥴

[@AskAngelaBrown]

LOL. They will sneak upon you when you are least expecting them. 😜

[@curiosity2314]

My wife has been looking for something like this for a long time now, we do have a 2 plus story ceiling and has always asked how are we going to get to the webs. They don't really bother me but they do bother her. The funny part, I had recently purchased an Ego 530 cubic foot per minute electric leaf blower, I accidentally pointed it up and pull the trigger in the house before going outside and she was with me at the time, yeah it blew all the Cobb webs off the ceiling pronto... I said I think I have finally found a solution to your longer standing problems with the webs. She got a giggle out of it and screaming at me the same time, that was priceless... I would be OK with letting the dust settle but I think she will like your idea better.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

LOL. I can just imagine an electric blower as a cleaning tool. Dog toys, clothes, legos, cobwebs...😍😆😂 You just made my day. :-)

[@barbaradwyer9802]

Thanks very much! Great product!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, we use it for so many things. And it's got a universal attachment head so you can attach anything you need to extend (like a paint roller for example.)

[@perniciouspete4986]

Too bad there's nothing like that pole and brush to remove the cobwebs from my brain. Really enjoyed the video, very informative. Looks like I'll be investing in one of those poles.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

LOL. Cobwebs in the brain - that's a good one. A video for another time perhaps. 😜 Thanks for joining me here. :-)

[@djratino]

Lowe's sells 2 & 3 piece poles for window washing. I bought the short one for mops. I have the window washer, mop, paint roller, ceiling fan duster, and fan squeegee attachments.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

That’s wonderful! I can’t wait to hear about all the uses you find for the poles. Keep me updated!

I really love this......not sure I'm ready to invest that much, but my entryway needs to be cleaned (it's 2 story) and this would be ideal - I could do it myself! Thanks, Angela!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

If you have a house cleaner ask if they provide this service. Many cleaning companies do a deep cleaning on a rotating basis and you may already be paying for the service.

[@Ravenortara]

Girl! You are seriously intelligent in EVERYTHING! You’ve taught me about depression, dust, SPIDERS? Like huh? I have MDD- major depressive disorder. I’m also a recovering addict. My mother, grandpa, aunt, and grandma all passed away in the last 18 months. I totally lost myself in the deepest depression you could ever imagine. I almost lost my life! I’ve been in treatment since July and I’m doing so much better. Buttt I came home to this DISGUSTING HORRIBLE mess of a house! I have sat here alllll day wondering where do I start?! I can’t go for a walk, it’s dark, but it’s only 5, so I made some coffee, I’m gonna put in some music, and CLEAN THE KITCHEN. Just one room...will be spectacular! Thank you for allll the encouragement!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

So sorry to hear about your loss. It's ok, not to be ok. Especially after what you have gone thru. It makes me happy to hear that you have seeked helped and that you are doing so much better. Kudos to you for wanting to get your home in order. Take baby steps, one room at a time is ok and so is 20 minutes of cleaning. Don't let it overwhelm you. Sending you positive vibes, prayers and hugs...you got this!! 🙏🤗

[@Ravenortara]

@@AskAngelaBrown thank you!! I got my entire kitchen clean! All that’s left is the oven and floors. You’ve helped me so much!

[@sharronwolfe7711]

Looks like something I need!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It's amazing how much I use it. I recently bought a bicycle holder for the smartphone amzn.to/3FkIr60 that fits nicely on the end of the pole. I can attach my smartphone and turn it on record and go up above the kitchen cabinets to see what type of gunk is up there without pulling out a ladder. It's also great for amateur film makers who need an overhead view from inside the house without attaching a camera "way up there."

[@elizabethb3270]

Good tool for the job!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes. It has so many uses. Thanks for watching and for jumping in to brighten my day. :-)

Ty for the tips

Thanks for spending a few minutes of your day here with me.

[@gldnglow]

I like that pole, but I use the extended handled Swiffer to get up high. I live in Upstate NY, so we don't have high ceilings much. Thanks.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The extended Swiffer is all you need then. There is never a good reason to carry two tools when one will do. I love that you've narrowed your tools down to the bare essentials. High Five!

[@kennyarbieto9969]

Wow amazing

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you! Cheers! 😄

[@guitarnotator]

Thank you

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for watching. I remember when we added the tall pack to our cleaning arsenal of tools. Of course we only use it 4 x per year at client's homes but it's a great way to keep cobwebs, dust, ceiling fans and more cleaned with a few simple and reusable/washable tools.

[@JosieStev]

I need one. Thnx for sharing

[@AskAngelaBrown]

They are really great for so many tall cleaning jobs. We use them a lot in our two story homes. (Dusting, ceiling fans, cobwebs, wall scrubbing.)

[@JosieStev]

@@AskAngelaBrown My husband got a leetle annoyed that I cleaned the ceiling fan. It’s out of balance. Oops. I was gentle too. Well, he can do from now on.

[@DJ-yz4fe]

Do you bring bug killer spray with u when clean houses? Its scary to clean under sinks because bugs can be there

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Not usually. The bug killing is really a job for the homeowner or their pest control service. We can remove cobwebs but we don't guarantee no bugs in the house which can be encouraged by a variety of the homeowners living habits like left out food, or unsealed doors and windows.

[@enidcrystal7349]

Very helpful, but what to do when you come across an actual live spider? Do you vacuum them, smash them or what? Is there any way to prevent them?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

If you can take a spider outside to safety that is always my first preference.

[@Michael9-23-15]

I just wanted to know if you think there's a opportunity for someone who just cleans up the Spider webs for Home and Businesses? It seems like a lot of people don't want or have the proper equipment for the job, nor do they want to do it. So I just thought id ask you what your opinion is? Thanks 🙏

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You may never know unless you try. 💜I wish you all the best, let us know how it goes! 🙂

[@kymberlydawn1445]

The fan duster attachment broke the first day I used it. Actually, all of the fan duster attachments I have used, 4 of them, Doca and 3 other off brands, have broke soon after the first use. What's up with that? Also, I have multiple different brand extention pole dusters including the Doca system, and the cheaper ones work just as well as Doca. Just thought I would share.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It is under warranty, if it broke the first time you used it I would return it and get a replacement. I too have had other brands, but found that when the pole is extended it often slides into itself while cleaning. I haven't had that problem with the DocaPole which is why we switched to that brand.

[@abbamaidugu660]

Please help me to know is there is any machine for cobweb removal

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Vacuum?

[@christygarcia4843]

How soft is that artichoke brush? Sometimes it doesn’t take much to knock the old crumb texture off the ceiling, and redoing the ceiling isn’t in the budget.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

How soft is the artichoke brush? I've never been asked that question before and I don't really know how to answer. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the strongest, it is about a 7. And in my opinion (this is the first time I'm articulating this so I'm kind of making it up as I go) but anything above a 3 will knock off popcorn bits off the ceiling.

[@emmanuelchijioke4670]

Good morning Emmanuel from Nigeria. Please how do I get a set of this DOCA POLE? Thank you, I look forward to your favourable response.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Emmanuel, thanks for watching. Here is the link for the kit in the USA amzn.to/3qJr4rv it may redirect you to this or a similar version in Nigeria. Or, it may give you a hint of what to look for at a store near you that sells this or a similar product. We do use it for LOTS of uses.

[@emmanuelchijioke4670]

@@AskAngelaBrown Thank you so much I sincerely appropriate.

[@SuperFriday]

Hello. If you had to clean mold around a light fixture of a tall ceiling, what would you attach to the Doca Pole?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I wouldn't. If you have mold on the ceiling I'd get a mold remediation company in there immediately. Every day you wait your house will depreciate in value. Mold is an organic compound that grows like wildfire. And it will eat up your house and make you deathly ill. If you are seeing in on the ceiling, chances are it's on the other side of the ceiling (maybe in an attic or rafters of the house.) The sooner you get to this the more money you will save. Wiping it off with a Doca Pole won't remove it. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. 😰

[@kennyarbieto9969]

Cool 😎

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Right? It's great for all the cleaning projects "overhead". On a maintenance clean we only go as tall as we can reach standing on the floor with our hand extended above our head. This allows us to reach all the other stuff on a different cleaning day. 😍

[@RRRE5384]

How can i order this

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Here you go: Doca Pole (Tall Pack) with Cobweb Brush - amzn.to/3wMCFsB (paid link*)

[@jaye8872]

It's pretty expensive. Is there a cheaper alternative if you do your own cleaning at home?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

For under a hundred dollars you can get a pole that lasts a lifetime. amzn.to/3DjogEQ We use it for windows, wall washing, ceiling fans, dusting lights, cobwebs, recessed light bulb changing. It is the kit that as professionals we use for all our deep cleaning. (An average deep clean costs $500 - $600) There are cheaper versions of it, but the extension poles of the cheaper models often slip back into the pole due to the clips or screws they put on handles.

[@jaye8872]

You are right. I use the swifter version duster for ceiling and walls now and that is exactly what happens. Thanks for the input
