Cleaning Shop windows
« on: December 15, 2008, 06:31:43 pm »
Good evening all
We are a company which cleans shops when they are fitted out. Although the windows are normally a small part of each clean, I am finding them the most frustrating and the most time consuming! When we go in they usually have spot lights directly on the glass and usually have the window displays already in place. This means that I have to pole them which is where the problems come in. I wet them out and then blade them and they are always dry smeary? Is this because of poling technique, the type of blade, the detergent? Its driving me nuts, any help would be appreciated as it is letting down the whole job!
Regards
Tim

Most likely is your technique. Cant really tell you how to clean windows via email but you would be better of to ask someone to train you how to do it properly. Have you got a window cleaner friend that could show you the ropes?
If not, why not sub the shop window to a local window cleaner. It will cost you but alot less hassle!

problem is that the jobs are all over the UK. E.g Thursday - Glasgow, then the week after Plymouth!! Could it be that the spotlights are drying the glass too quickly?
