Cleaning Windows In Winter? Clifton’s Top Tips!

Winter is here, it’s cold, dark and wet outside, whilst most of us stick to staying inside, window cleaners spend all of Winter outside. 

We have been working as professional, commercial window cleaners for many years and we have seen many Winters here at Clifton. We have some top tips for handling the cold weather as a window cleaner. 

Take Good Care Of Your Equipment…

When water freezes to ice, it expands and as a consequence, it can crack or break anything a window cleaner has filled with water. Keeping an eye on expected freezing temperatures is essential for preparing your equipment for the event of freezing and avoiding damage. 

Prevention is the best cure so bring any wet gear into the warmth of your house or some other place that is protected from the cold.  If you have a trolley system or backpack in a van left outside then bring those in too.

Should You Have Your Windows Cleaned When It’s Raining?

Washing windows in the rain sounds like it’s a counterproductive effort right!? But in the UK rainfall is something we see more of than any other weather, so it seems like avoiding the cleaning of your business windows in the colder months isn’t practical either. 

In fact, the idea that cleaning windows in the rain is a pointless venture, is actually a myth. Commercial window cleaners can achieve a sparkling finish in rain and shine, with the current weather conditions having little, if any, effect on the quality of your window cleaner’s finish. 

Why Commercial City Windows Need Cleaning More Often.

Commercial window cleaners in big cities like London, Birmingham and Manchester understand the serious demand for window cleaning, and how it has only become an increasing demand for the industry. Commercial window cleaners thrive in big cities simply because city windows need cleaning more often. But, why do they get dirtier faster? Clifton has three reasons why commercial city windows need cleaning more often.

Pollution

Cities are susceptible to much higher levels of traffic, which in turn releases higher pollutants in the air, as well as dust and dirt, all of which will cling to your city windows.
