Post-Construction Window Cleaning
Initial Inspection
A thorough inspection of the building’s windows to identify the types of debris and contaminants on the glass and frames. Based on the assessment, a cleaning plan is formulated, including determining the necessary equipment and safety measures, especially for high-rise buildings.
Clearing Debris
Large debris such as cement splatters or paint drips are carefully removed using specialized tools like scrapers or razor blades to avoid scratching the glass. Adhesive or silicone residues may require the application of solvents or chemicals that break down the materials for easier removal.
Specialty Cleaning solutions & Squeegeeing
A pre-cleaning solution is applied to loosen any remaining dust, dirt, or fine debris on the windows. The windows are then washed using professional-grade cleaning solutions. The cleaning solution is removed using squeegees, ensuring no streaks or watermarks are left behind. This step requires precision and skill, particularly on high-rise windows, where access is challenging.
Detailing
The edges and frames of the windows are cleaned thoroughly to remove any remaining dirt or debris. Then the windows are inspected for any missed spots, smudges, or imperfections, and any issues are corrected immediately.
Final Inspection
A final walkthrough is conducted to ensure all windows are crystal clear and free of any construction-related debris or residues.
Safety Measures
For high-rise buildings, specialized rope access or scaffolding equipment is used, with safety protocols strictly followed to ensure the workers’ safety during the cleaning process.
