The Art of High-Rise Window Cleaning

Clean windows are essential for the aesthetics of any building and the well-being of its occupants. Natural light boosts productivity and mood. However, keeping windows clean on a high-rise building presents unique challenges.

Frequency: How Often Should You Clean?

The ideal frequency depends on several factors:

  1. Location: Buildings near busy roads or industrial areas gather dust and pollution faster.
  2. Function: Prestigious office buildings and hotels typically require quarterly or monthly cleaning.
  3. Environment: Pollen, tree sap, and bird droppings can require seasonal attention.

Recommendation: A semi-annual (twice a year) deep clean is the baseline for most commercial properties in Budapest.

Techniques We Use

  • Traditional Squeegee Method: The gold standard for a streak-free finish. It involves applying a soapy solution and removing it manually with a squeegee. Perfect for detailed work and heavy soiling.
  • Water-Fed Pole Systems: Uses purified water pumped up a telescopic pole. The brush scrubs the dirt, and the pure water rinses it away, drying spot-free. Safe and effective for heights up to 20 meters.
  • Razor Blade Scaping: Essential for post-construction cleaning to remove paint, plaster, and stickers without scratching the glass.

Why Hire Professionals?

  • Safety: We are trained to work at heights and rescue ourselves if needed.
  • Equipment: We have access to industrial-grade tools and detergents.
  • Liability: Professional companies carry insurance to cover any potential damages.
