Professional window cleaners know their stuff, and they come equipped with a set of tools to do the job right. However, many people may not be aware, which is why we’re sharing the knowledge with you today. The following is a breakdown of all the tools a professional window cleaner will utilize on the job site, and an explanation of how they function. Hopefully, you’ll end this article with a newfound appreciation for the hard work the pros put in to make sure your commercial and residential windows look spotless and shiny!
A BUCKET ON THE LIST
It’s impossible to get any window cleaning job done without a trusty, good old-fashioned bucket. After all, this is where the cleaning solution is mixed for each job, and not even a pro would get very far without one. We utilize buckets appropriate for the job in question so that we can cut down on wasted time, and make sure we’re optimizing our presence on site. It’s important to note that our buckets are designed for use with cleaning wands, creating one dynamite and effective combo.
A RELIABLE CLEANING CLOTH
Cleaning windows obviously requires a cleaning cloth, but not all are created the same. We use specialty quality cleaning cloths optimized for professional window cleaning use, so that we can be sure we’re doing the best job at all times. Cleaning cloths are used in conjunction with our other tools for a multi-step cleaning regimen that generates the best results at all times.
SQUEEGEES FOR THE WIN
The first, and perhaps most obvious tool in the window cleaner’s arsenal is the ever-reliable squeegee. This handy item dries wet windows while eliminating the streaking effect that can sometimes be left over by conventional cleaning tools. Your window cleaning professional may use different variations of squeegees for particular jobs, but the end goal is always the same – to make your windows look beautiful and spotless.
CLEANING WANDS FOR THE REACH
Certain windows get pretty big, especially on corporate buildings, which is why cleaning wands are a necessary tool for a job well done. Window cleaning professionals can use cleaning wands to quickly access cleaning solutions before polishing those windows clean. Cleaning wands are versatile and adaptable, making them perfect for most window cleaning jobs. Not only do they allow for a proper cleaning job, but they also cut down on the amount of time required, which would normally be done by hand.
A SCRAPER WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH
Some jobs require a little more proverbial elbow grease than others, particularly post-construction cleanups where paint, dirt and other materials may have deposited stubbornly onto window glass. For those jobs, our pros bust out the trusty scraper before proceeding with the actual window cleaning job, to ensure a smoother and easier process. Scrapers aren’t for the faint of heart, however. Using them the wrong way risks scratching and damaging a window, which is why our team has been fully trained on the right techniques, for your peace of mind.
