Use Of Squeegees In Commercial Window Cleaning Services

By Linda Johnson


Window cleaning is a huge service industry today. It has successfully curved out a market niche in the cleaning industry. Today, it is possible to find contractors that have specialized in this business alone. This has been made possible because many establishments realize the significance of having clean premises. It has a positive impact on sales and customer retention. Many people see clean establishments as responsible, ethical and credible. With the ever-rising skyscrapers in major cities and many shops being opened, commercial window cleaning is becoming very marketable.

The squeegee is one invention that has significantly made cleaning easier and faster. Traditional equipment used was a spray bottle and some paper towels. These were cumbersome and slow and sometimes it took days to finish one job. With this new equipment, the time taken is reduced. It is thus important to look at how this has been made possible.

A standard squeegee is made up of a metal frame. It is fitted with a rubber blade that can be replaced as often as possible when need arises. New blades are more effective than worn out ones. They are also faster and better since they do not leave any strips of water or dirt. They are found in many home centers as well as hardware stores. Other important tools required include soaps, buckets, scrubbers, towels and lint-free rugs.

These tools can be used for years before new replacements are needed. The frame is made from hard steel. The rubbers need frequent replacements as soon as they get weak or worn out. Using such rubbers can make work very difficult because areas will need to be repeated more than once. Such blades are rounded, nicked at the end or sliced. A good idea to increase utility is to reverse the rubber.

Usually one does not need any fancy buckets or soap. A large bucket is good to go. Add a few gallons of water and add liquid soap. Make sure to add only a tablespoon of the soap. When working in hot weather conditions, using cool water can be helpful to ensure effectiveness. If the weather is cold, use solution used for windshield washing to preventing water from freezing on the glass.

When using the squeegee, dip it into the bucket containing soap and squeeze excess water. Many professional cleaners use the fanning method. They sweep back and forth making sure to cover the entire surface. It takes time and practice to master. Another technique used is moving horizontally or vertically making sure to direct water towards dirty areas.

Using the squeegee to clean windows inside a house is possible but not easy. It needs one to be careful because they have to squeeze out water and clean several panes before inserting the blade in water again. This prevents any mess inside the home.

These services have gained mainstream attention and support from the commercial world. They are high in demand and pay well. Most of the work is done through contracts that usually last for a specific period as agreed by the parties concerned.
