Commercial Window Cleaning Guide

It’s important for businesses to make a good first impression on visitors. However, many businesses overlook the importance of keeping their windows clean and clear. Important tasks like window cleaning can make all the difference in how your business looks and feels to guests.

While some businesses may try to tackle these tasks themselves, commercial window cleaning services from Coverall® can offer a consistent and thorough clean that can’t be matched with DIY solutions.

WHY COMMERCIAL WINDOW CLEANING SERVICES ARE ESSENTIAL

Clean windows go beyond curb appeal. Regular window cleaning is a key preventative maintenance service that improves your business in a variety of important ways.

The benefits of regular window cleaning include:

  • Better overall aesthetics. It should come as no surprise that dirty, clouded windows let in less light than windows that have been properly cleaned. This results in less natural light and more reliance on harsh artificial lighting.
  • Increased team member productivity and job satisfaction. Research shows that employees in a clean environment enjoy their jobs more and rate their own productivity at a higher level in comparison to employees in untidy work environments.
  • Increased window life. Windows require regular care and attention like any other part of a building. Without regular cleaning, debris buildup can occur, leading to staining, discoloration or potential damage.

Windows are one of the areas of your business that require extra attention. To keep your windows looking their best, your windows should be professionally cleaned at least twice per year, though quarterly cleanings are recommended to ensure the best appearance possible. This is in addition to any light spot cleaning you may do.

COMMERCIAL WINDOW CLEANING CONSIDERATIONS

There are many different factors that contribute to dirty or dingy office windows. Here are some of the most common causes.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

“Neither snow nor rain” may affect the U.S. Postal Service, but your store or office windows can’t say the same. Unfortunately, precipitation accumulates fine particles that stay behind when the water evaporates. This dirt and grime buildup can give your windows an unsightly appearance when the clouds clear and the sun returns.

POLLUTION

Big cities understand the all-too-common appearance of smog in their skylines. This term describes air pollution resulting from human activities like driving, manufacturing and other common occurrences in cities. This pollution can cause buildup on windows, leaving behind a grimy appearance. Even in smaller areas or towns without smog, buildup can occur as a result of nearby roadways or factories.

SALTY AIR

Coastal areas can wreak havoc on windows. Over a short period of time, this corrosive salt can give windows a cloudy appearance. When left for long periods without being cleaned, salt crystals can begin to break down glass and window frames to cause damage.

INDOOR POLLUTANTS

If your business includes any restaurants or kitchens, these areas will likely see the largest amounts of buildup on windows. Steam, grease and other indoor pollutants will affect your interior windows in much the same way outdoor pollutants will affect exteriors. Even without a true “cooking” space, some of these same pollutants will even be present in office break rooms with microwaves and other small appliances.

HANDS AND FINGERPRINTS

Handprints and fingerprints can quickly make for unsightly windows as a result of the natural oils found on human skin. These spots and streaks are made even worse in pet-friendly offices or stores where children may be present. In either case, your guests will immediately recognize the sure signs of furry friends and tiny hands all over your windows.
