Commercial Window Cleaning Processes- What You Need To Know

By Sean Sheen

Commercial window cleaning services are offered at various levels of cleanliness. There are companies offer services for the perfect clean window and every part gets washed, while other companies offer a basic wash. The levels of cleanliness include an average of three; a basic wash, the basic plus a little more, and an ultra-clean. Companies have professional staff that either clean all the windows by hand or with the use of power washers. All the equipment is the responsibility of the window cleaning company.

Window cleaners contracted by commercial cleaning companies are bonded, insured, and licensed. They generally will wash windows for any type of building or residence. Some have the capabilities to handle skyscrapers, while others are only able to provide services for windows on ground level. This window cleaning service is offered year around as well. The information listed below explains about the different levels of clean offered by most window cleaning companies.

The Basic Wash- Soap and water is what most companies use for a basic window wash, although there are some that prefer to use foam instead. The basic wash is the cheapest type available with most commercial companies. After washing, the excess water is squeegeed off and the window will be towel dried with a special cloth, to avoid streaks. In some places where the weather is hot enough for water to evaporate, the squeegee is all that is used.

Window Cleaning- The cleaning of debris off of windows is usually needed after construction work has been performed. There is often plaster or paint splatters on windows, which will need to be removed with a razor blade and some abrasive pads. Layers of dust tend to cover the entire window surface; panes, frame, and sill. This method pertains to the cleaning of windows, window sill, and sometimes the frames themselves.

After all debris has been removed, the window is washed and dried. Many companies will also include the washing of frames and sills at this cleaning level.

Ultra Cleaning- This final level of clean is the ultimate type, for those windows that have been neglected all season long and are becoming opaque. Removal of construction debris, if needed, is performed, then cleaning of panes, sills, and frames is completed. Many companies will also clean tracks and screens, as well as dry the entire window with chamois.

These commercial window cleaning services are available with reservations or scheduled services can be set up. Some people enjoy having this process performed on a regular basis; weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Work is generally guaranteed with the offer to fix any mistakes and scheduled to fit the needs of the business or residential owner. - 16890
