Information On Commercial Window Cleaning

By Martha Green


Window cleaning can also be called window washing. The history of commercial window cleaning is a long one and has been modified severally to what it is now. Automation seems to be taking over as inventions are coming up that are allowing the accomplishment of tasks that previously used to be done by humans. In developed countries, automatic robotic cleaners are becoming more common.

Washing of windows used to be a manual process accomplished by hands and simple tools. This may be attributed to the fact that most buildings used to have fewer windows and they did not rise to the heights they do today. However, as time proceeded, there was need to invent better methods as high rise windows became more common in buildings. Various washing and access methods were therefore devised.

Water containing dissolved detergents is used to wipe dust from panes in manual applications. Hands are used to scrub dirt off. Water mixture and scrubbed dirt are sluiced from panes using squeegees of various types. Provided the cleaner gains access to the pane, they can use manual methods to clean any kind of window.

The reason for the invention of water poles was so that cleaners can effectively clean windows with the range of 3-70 feet from the ground. It involves installing brushes and water jets onto telescopic poles. Water supplied through the jets are deionized and come from sources like domestic, commercial, and vehicle-borne water outlets. The concentration of total dissolved solids in the water is below 5 ppm. The longest pole is 70 feet although shorter lengths are available.

The brush is used for agitating the dirt on the panes as water is applied constantly. Usually, there are two jets. One contains water with cleaning chemicals and the other one has pure water. After agitating the dirt, the brush is lifted off so that pure water can be applied to remove the formed dirt. Because the water is pure, no spots are left behind after the washing process is over.

There are more suitable access methods that can be used at heights above 70 feet. Some examples of such methods include ladders, aerial work platforms, supported scaffolding, cradle access, windowsill access, and rope access. The cleaner is delivered to the panes they are required to clean by these methods. Not all methods are suitable in all situations, although others can be effective in more than one situation.

TA thorough assessment of the building is done first before a given technique is settled upon for use. Where necessary, several access methods may be applied at the same time. Minimization of accidents has been the goal of most companies as authorities require them to apply the safest methods. Generally, there has been a decrease in accidents.

This industry has also raised environmental safety concerns. Authorities required companies to employ techniques and products that limit environmental degradation. That has led to the invention of eco-friendly products with the intention of minimizing impact on the environment.
