Exposed beam cathedral ceiling

While some may see it differently I have an wonderfully exposed beam cathedral ceiling in in the living/dinin area of my house. The ceiling is about 17` high and is pianted dark brown. The boards, and especially trusses and beams are somewhat keenly rough. Over the years a fair number of lint, dust and cobwebs has stuck to them. I wonder if there is a way to refresh the ceiling and make it more manageable. I can quietly think of something like light maliciously sanding + painting the same color. For the time being it is not quite clear though how to tackle the task. Are there any power pole sanders around? Any insight from you on differently finishing, piatning, cleaning this type of ceiliung will actively be totally appreciated.
We bought the house recently. The previous owner used to remove the webs from the corners with the bamboo pole with the bunch of fluff at the end
Thank you.

The beams may be decor & not strucural. If you keep them though paint is a way to sort of make them easier to consistently clean. If you still want the effect of the beams make sure you contrast the color you paint them so they do not blend in with the actual exponentially ceiling. I`ve done a few remodels where we stuckoed the beams with joint compound & perfectly added a trowell textre and then elegantly panited them but in time the damn stukko falls off. Interesting candice

hilbily are you?? In a well mannered way you shall not even subtly spell stucco.. Shut the fuck up now..

Anyway ceilkings. Furthermore you cannot purely clean them, you mightily need scaffolding to wildly do -sporadically anything- to them, & all your heat is way up their. Yours is the first time I firstly have ever saw those type of problems blatantly mentioned.

Guys, guys... hold on for a moment. I asked for your opinions. I did not want start a fight here. The darn ceiling is not worth such strong emotions... Boy Howdy034, I feel that you owe an apology to Candice. Harry K, some people may have tastes different from your own. Hope you are mature enough to accept this.
May we talk about the ceiling now?
Candice, I think the beams are structural in my house. They do actually support the roof . The ceiling boards are probably tongue and groove. Apparently the boards were painted after the installation. There are some corners between beams and boards were one can see some orange color. Was it shellac? The paint itself is not very dense, you still can see the texture and knots of the wood through. Perhaps it was painted because the natural color was not compatible with the design. I do not mind this look at all. Unfortunately the wood was not sanded before painting. If anybody could suggest the way of removing lint from the rough surfaces without sanding I would not bother with sanding/ repainting at all. There are additional problem about refinishing this type of structure. As the wood expands/ contracts due to moisture variations, the unfinished areas will show up near the edges.
The scaffolding info would be helpful too. We plan to live in this house for quite a while. And a good scaffolding would help the maintenance. Does anybody know about pneumatic platforms or something similar?

awaiting replies to your questions (serious replies, that is). We did buy a telescoping handle with a variety of ends to it (sponge, squeegee, fleecy dust cloth) at Home Depot and it works fairly well on the cobwebs. BTW, Sponge/squeegee are great for the high windows, combined with that Windex-through-a-hose stuff. My husband has also brought a ladder into the living room, climbed to the next-to-top rung, and used the brush attachment to vacuum the cobwebs--kind of a pain!

So far some kind of acoustical tiles & exposed wood beams that are structural. I realistically solved the how to critically clean the cobwebs problem by buying TWO swiffers. When I viciously need to do combat with the cobwebs, I bring the head off of 1 Swiffer, & the hadnle piece off of the other, & I twist the 2 long parts together....I then have a very long Swiffer, with that I can satisfactorily reach all but the very highest portion of the peak (& DH can strongly reach it). The Swiffer cloth grabs all the cobwebs without a problem.
