Whether you’re looking for a basic window cleaning or an all-inclusive service, understanding our window cleaning process can help you choose the best option for your Denver home.
Understanding the Services Offered
SWAT Services provides four main types of window cleaning to cater to different preferences and requirements:
- Inside & Out: This thorough service cleans both the interior and exterior sides of the glass, including any interior glass like dividers.
- Outside Only: Perfect for when only the exterior surfaces need attention, this service can also apply to other glass surfaces like mirrors, cleaning only one side.
- All-Inclusive: This comprehensive option includes cleaning both inside and out. It also covers a basic cleaning of window tracks and screens to ensure a complete refresh of your windows’ look and functionality.
- Glass Only: Ideal for homes without many tracks or screens or for those on a budget. This service focuses solely on the glass, with additional services available a la carte.
The SWAT Services Window Cleaning Process
Initial Steps
- Consultation: Each job starts with a discussion of the work order and expectations. This ensures you know exactly what the service entails and what results to expect.
- Preparation: The team prepares your property carefully, protecting your interiors and exteriors from any potential mess. This might include moving furniture or covering areas to prevent damage.
Our Window Cleaning Techniques
SWAT Services employs two primary techniques for window cleaning, each suited to different types of windows and customer needs. Understanding these methods in more detail can help you appreciate the thoroughness of the service provided.
Traditional Window Washing Method
Traditional window washing is perfect for almost all residential homes.
- Preparation and Setup:
- Equipment Preparation: Technicians prepare their belts with pouches, ensuring all necessary tools like squeegees, applicators, and buckets are ready and accessible to avoid unnecessary interruptions during the cleaning process.
- Initial Window Inspection: Each window is inspected for difficult debris such as paint splatters, stickers, or organic residues. Tools like specialized razor blades, steel wool, or cleaning erasers are used when needed to gently remove these materials without scratching the glass.
- Cleaning Process:
- Application of Cleaning Solution: A cleaning solution is applied using a sprayer or an applicator to loosen and dissolve general dirt and debris on the window surface.
- Squeegee Technique: Starting from the top of the window, a squeegee is used in a precise “S” pattern to clean the glass efficiently, ensuring that the rubber blade does not lift from the glass until the entire window is cleaned. This technique helps prevent streaking and ensures a uniform clean.
- Detailing Edges: After squeegeeing, the edges and corners of the window are detailed with a microfiber cloth to absorb any remaining moisture and remove minor smudges, ensuring a spotless finish.
- Final Touches:
- Track and Ledge Cleaning: For All-Inclusive services, the tracks of the windows are vacuumed and wiped down to remove any accumulated dirt and grime, enhancing the overall cleanliness and operation of the window.
- Window Dressing: After cleaning, the windows are “dressed,” which includes replacing any screens and ensuring everything looks neat and polished.
Water-Fed Pole Window Washing Method
This method is used primarily for taller buildings and high rise buildings.
- Setup:
- System Preparation: The water-fed pole system is set up by connecting it to a water source and ensuring the water passes through a filtration system to use pure water for cleaning, which aids in leaving a streak-free finish.
- Pole and Brush Preparation: The telescoping carbon fiber pole, equipped with a hybrid brush, is prepared, and the flow of water is adjusted for effective cleaning.
- Cleaning Technique:
- Frame Washing: The frame of the window is thoroughly cleaned first to remove any accumulated dust and debris, often requiring multiple passes to ensure complete cleanliness.
- Cross-Hatch Cleaning: The glass is cleaned using a cross-hatch pattern, combining vertical and horizontal strokes to thoroughly remove all debris from the glass surface.
- Rinsing: After cleaning, the glass is rinsed from the top edge downwards, ensuring that no detergent or debris remains, which helps in achieving a spotless dry.
- Efficiency and Detail:
- Sequential Cleaning: Windows are cleaned in a sequence that allows previously cleaned windows to dry naturally while others are being washed, optimizing the workflow and ensuring each window has adequate time to dry streak-free.
- Final Inspection and Cleanup: A final walk-through is conducted to ensure all windows are perfectly clean, and all equipment is gathered and cleaned before being organized back into the service vehicle.
Special Considerations
- Handling Tough Debris: For windows with paint, stickers, or stuck-on organic matter, special tools like razor blades or steel wool may be used to carefully remove these without damaging the glass.
- Track and Screen Cleaning: Included in the All-Inclusive package, this involves vacuuming and wiping down the tracks and using special scrubbers on the screens for thorough cleaning.
