Q Need desperately to get the windows in my villa cleaned. Can you recommend any good window cleaning companies?
A You could try a company called Clearwater who use lightweight telescopic poles that can reach to heights of 60ft. I used them the other week and they had a special offer on cleaning windows (2 for 1).

Q Hello Louise. Would you happen to know of a swimming pool where public can access and where ladies are comfortable to swim? preferably close to Warqaa, Mirdif, International City. If not these places where else?
A There are swimming pool facilities at Al Nasr Leisureland 04 337 1234, Mushrif Park 04 288 3624 and many of the city hotels will let you use their pools at a charge such as Le Meridien Airport 04 217 0000 & Radisson Blu, Deira 04 222 7171 however I do appreciate that this can be quite expensive. If any reader knows of any other swimming pools that are a reasonable cost and ladies will feel comfortable, Expat Echo would love to hear from you.
