The benefits ofprofessional window cleaning.

Fewer allergens and better health for staff and visitors

Run a finger along one of the window sills in your office and look at the fingertip: the dirt and particles that have gathered there are only a small part of the allergens affecting the air quality inside the building. Hair, dust, pollen, skin flakes and other particles that collect on window sills inside and out can cause itchy eyes, headaches, fatigue, sneezing, coughing and a runny nose among staff and visitors.

On top of that, windows that get no professional maintenance tend to accumulate moisture and mould. Mould can trigger allergic reactions and shortness of breath. In commercial buildings and office towers, where large numbers of people work in enclosed spaces, professional cleaning significantly reduces exposure to allergens — and healthier staff are more productive and more focused.

A longer life for the windows themselves

Dirt, deposits and dust that build up over time become embedded in the pores of the glass and work their way into the tracks, causing irreversible scratching and accelerated wear. Those defects weaken the panes and can lead to cracking, breakage and expensive damage.

A professional team protects the integrity of the glass with knowledge, experience and dedicated products — and saves a heavy bill for replacing windows in the long run.

Better productivity and a better atmosphere in the office

Natural daylight improves mood, energy levels and output. Clean windows let in the maximum amount of sunlight and reduce eye strain and fatigue.

Office plants need light to thrive as well. In the winter months, light coming through clean glass helps warm the building naturally and reduces the electricity bill.

A better view and a better-looking environment

Stained windows create unpleasant glare and spoil the view. Beyond rainwater, the main cause of stubborn staining is water from irrigation systems and sprinklers, which leaves hard limescale and mineral deposits and creates cloudy spots and streaks. Regular cleaning prevents that build-up and restores a clear outlook.

Higher building and property value

Well-kept windows signal a high standard of maintenance and raise the perceived value of the property — both to prospective customers and tenants and at the point of sale or letting.

Complementary services under one roof

Professional window cleaning companies working on buildings and towers usually offer a broader range of services than cleaning the glass alone:

• Full interior and exterior cleaning — covering the entire glazed envelope.
• Atriums and rooflights — work at considerable height and in complex spaces.
• Post-construction and post-renovation cleaning — removing paint, silicone, cement and adhesive residue.
• Glass restoration and scratch removal — polishing to bring back the original clarity.
• Hard water stain and limescale removal — professional deposit-dissolving products.

Better energy efficiency

Heavy soiling blocks the warming solar radiation you want in winter. On top of that, wear and oxidation around window frames damage the rubber seals, causing air leaks, condensation and mould growth. Regular maintenance prevents those leaks and reduces heating and air-conditioning costs.

More footfall from customers and visitors

Customers spend longer in places that are clean, well kept and inviting. Clean display windows draw people in and signal that a business can be trusted — the decision whether to walk into a shop is made in a single second on the pavement.
