Window cleaning is an industry far more complex than the stereotypical old fashioned view of a squeegee and bucket getting used as sole cleaning equipment. For a truly thorough job the squeegee has to be produced from the specially constructed fabric known as 'microfiber' that is very soft and may hold up to eight times the weight in water. Microfiber products also have the advantage of being able to absorb thicker liquids like oils, though not rough enough to scratch paintwork which makes them perfect for window cleaning.
In order for microfiber to work it is imperative that this material be utilized alongside a highly effective cleaning solution. At a basic level household dish soap is most often utilized in window cleaning, but its success pales in comparison to those of stronger detergents containing stronger formulas like ammonia and acidic chemicals. Nevertheless dish soap is really a useful way for professional window cleaners to begin softening water in preparation for when more potent chemicals are added.
There is obviously one key element in any window cleaners' job achieving success; they must have a very quality ladder that will permit them to conveniently and comfortably reach high window frames. However, within recent years the use of ladders has diminished greatly towards extension poles which may be used to clean windows up to and including height of 4 storeys often unreachable having a ladder.
The most difficult job for window cleaning professionals is high rise window cleaning on the exterior of tall buildings like skyscrapers where ladders and extension poles are not capable of reaching. Most skyscraper designs don't have flat roofs so window cleaners have to use bolts mounted on both sides of the building to match a rope operated platform known as a 'cradle' for use for many window cleaners to stand on. This practice can be used all over the world with major structures such as the Empire State Building in Ny still employing it. Scaffolds will also be a frequent a part of cleaning large building maintenance, especially in the case more comprehensive cleaning jobs such as the practices of pressure washing, caulking, repairs, and other exterior building conservation.
When most buildings are made, the requirements of window cleaners are often not taken into consideration therefore it is not necessarily easy for them to find a rut on the top to add their harnesses that has resulted in improvisation for example placing supporting rigs towards the building structure. One effective although very daring method of high-rise window washing may be the practice of abseiling that involves one window cleaner at a time quite literally abseiling on the outside of a building using their bucket clipped to the side of a chair that they sit in whilst connected to an appearance harness associated with a separate line in case the primary abseiling rope becomes disconcerted. This really is like the kind of safety scenarios found in the abseiling of mountain rescues.
