Your commercial building probably has a lot of glass. This makes it pretty and gives your employees the ability to see out and admire nature. They also get dirty. This is because of the wind, blowing and the rain depositing debris and soils on them. You will need to have them cleaned by someone and, if you have a taller than normal building, will need to hire high rise window cleaners.
Dealing with cleaners who do the washing on the first floors is one thing. They take care of the glass with the few tools they need and, maybe a short pole. Occasionally they will need to use a scissor lift if a flat surface is next to the structure. Sometimes these cleaners will use a pole that has self contained cleaning solution piped to the head.
The second floor glass can be cleaned with use of a scissor lift. Any floor higher than that, from second to third and, occasionally, a fourth floor, can be cleaned using a boom truck. This machine has large tires and an extended boom, as long as 65 feet and can hold one or two cleaners for those hard to reach windows.
When the high rise buildings need window cleaning, most of them already have the particular anchors needed installed on their roofs. One of these systems, probably one of the most unpopular one, allows for the repelling of the cleaner down the side of the building. This is a block and tackle system, with pulleys on the roof and another pulley on the flexible chair.
The ropes are secured to an anchor, set in the roof of the building. The set up has a block and tackle that will allow the rope to be fed down and holds the rope, securely. The cleaner has another block, located at his level with a lock that can secure the chair at any height he desires.
A gondola system is popular and run by a similar system, on the roof, however, it is aided by an electric motor that does the lifting and lowering. This platform is manned by more than one person, usually, and can be lowered to the appropriate position and locked into place. The cleaning can be done and then the whole platform will be lowered to the next floor down.
It does not matter what is used to get the cleaners up to the right level or down to the appropriate height. What does matter is that all of the cleaning is done in about the same way. The number of tools is the same and the process is the same. The tools consist of a wet bar, a bucket, a cloth or two and a squeegee. Many cleaners will also include a window knife for sticky substances.
Getting the glass wet by using the wet bar, with a scrubbing motion starts the process. The knife is used if needed and the wet bar might have to be utilized to get the glass wet again. The squeegee is what a lot of people enjoy watching as this is the show that the cleaners puts on. The squeegeeing of the glass starts in the upper part of the glass and, with side to side motions, cover the entire window and ends on the bottom.
