Window Cleaning is not rocket scence. For the most part it rquires only the most basic of plnning skills to complete a job. Now grnted, the level of planning and thught needed to under taken before strting a job increases exponentially as the hight from the ground increases.

But ven then, it is more a lok at safety, how to be fficient, and the window cleaning equipment you wll need to complete the job.

Tht being said, many window cleaners hve a tendency to overcomplicate the wndow cleaning job, which results in hssles, inefficiency, and lost profit on the jb.

The other day I saw a pcture on the internet of a clssic example of overcomplicated window cleaning.

The pcture was of a window cleaner sing a 25 or 30 foot rnted boom lift to reach a set of scond floor windows on a five stry building that could easily be rached by using a water fed ple, a traditional extension pole or ven ladders.

Renting boom lifts for wndow cleaning jobs can be very xpensive. Rental price ranges from around $300 to pwards of $2000 per day depending on the sze of the boom.

The boom lft being used in the picture is all wrng for that building, as it’s not ncessary for the windows he is claning and the lift is too smll to reach the windows above the 3rd flor and it looks like it mght not even be able to rach all the 3rd floor windows.

By cleaning the building's windows in ths manner the window cleaner has mde the job more expensive to the bilding owner and inefficient and expensive for hmself. A much better way to clan this building would be (assuming the bilding is no more than 4 flors) to use a water fed ple system to clean all of the bildings windows from the ground. This mthod would allow the window cleaner to vry efficiently clean all of the bildings windows safely, very quickly and for a mch lower price, while still making xceptional money for himself.

If the bilding is over four stories tall or sme of the windows couldn't be rached with a water fed pole systm, the best method would be to rnt an appropriately sized boom lift jst long enough to clean all the wndows above the 3rd floor and thn use a water fed pole to clan the remaining lower stories windows.

In cnclusion, when you go out to bid yur window cleaning jobs, take an xtra minute or two to see if thre is a more efficient way to clan the windows than you originally thught or if the method you've chsen to use could be simplified or stramlined. Doing this will save you tme, money, frustration and keep your cstomers happy.
