How to Keep Your Windows in Tip Top Condition

July 17, 2014 – by Tony Earnshaw

Presenting a well-kept and thoroughly maintained exterior to visiting clients and customers is an essential part of putting your best foot forward in the world of business. There are a number of factors that contribute to a presentable exterior, from grounds and garden maintenance to gutter cleaning, however, keeping your windows clean and pristine is also an important aspect of maintaining the appearance of your commercial or industrial premises.

As the UK’s leading window cleaning company, UK Commercial Cleaning Solutions caters to a variety of businesses looking to maintain a beautiful appearance all year round. Here we share our top tips for keeping your windows in excellent condition…

Regular cleaning is always better than one-off

Having your windows cleaned on a monthly or quarterly basis should form a vital part of your building maintenance plan. The UKCCS team can assist with buildings of all types, sizes and uses, and our trained and CRB checked staff have the skills you need to keep internal glazing, conservatories and atriums sparkling.

Embrace 21st century window cleaning techniques

Window cleaning has progressed significantly in recent years, with the introduction of the Wash and Reach system changing traditional practices that use ladders, mops, buckets and squeegees. Wash and Reach sends purified water up a large pole using a water-fed pole system to effectively and efficiently clean windows. Teamed with a range of high level access methods, the new and improved Wash and Reach system ensures no building is too big for our commercial window cleaning team.

The UK Commercial Cleaning team use rope access (also known as abseiling), hydraulic platforms and cradle systems to reach and clean windows at all heights, whilst traditional methods can only go as high as two storeys by law.
We take health and safety extremely seriously and hold an exemplary health and safety record. All of our techniques are delivered in full safety whilst our teams undergo constant health and safety training.

It’s not just about the glazing

Whilst many window cleaners concentrate on achieving a shine on the glazing of the window, we understand that your window frames need a bit of tender loving care too. By regularly cleaning window frames, the build-up of unsightly mildew and mould can be stopped in its tracks. Steam cleaners can be used to remove fungus effectively and slow down future mould growth.

By maintaining the frames as well as the glass of your windows, you can rest assured that the appearance of your commercial or industrial property is preserved to the highest standards.
