Window cleaning is a lot of work and, depending on the building, can be dangerous work as well. If you need to have your windows washed, it is a lot easier to hire window cleaners who have the proper equipment to do the job quickly and correctly.

The most common equipment for window washing is a squeegee and clean soapy water. A number of cleaning fluids are available but many professionals use ordinary dish soap still. However, this may leave a film that attracts dirt, while other types of cleaners may keep the windows cleaner.

Companies that are larger may have more expensive tools such as a water fed pole. This pole makes it easier to reach high windows that are not easy to access by ladder. With this device, purified water is used to rinse the windows. This type of water will not leave marks once the windows have dried. This type of system will clean the windows better as well.

For really high windows, such as in office buildings, window cleaning companies may use cradles or platforms that can be hung down from the top of the building. The platforms may be referred to as scaffolding, among other terms.

Recently, some experimentation as been done with the use of robots for washing windows. They are able to clean at a much faster rate than humans. Cleaning windows in skyscrapers in particular can be quite dangerous so these robots could also potentially save lives.

Using window cleaners is a smart way to get the job done. Your windows will be cleaner than you could get them and you will stay safer. Many cleaning companies are also insured and licensed so you can have even more confidence in hiring them
