Title: curved glass
Post by: AJ on April 06, 2009, 03:58:45 pm

Any suggestions on cleaning curved glass.
each pane is 15ft tall about 6ft wide and need to be cleaned internally without taking feet off the floor, strictly no ladders/steps.
tried a swivel squeegee going straight lines from one side to the other but they look awful.
These windows are in a resaurant and need to be spot on. ??? ???

I would try a really large squeegie channel that way it would be less strokes

I do a chippie with curved glass, I squeegee across and wipe the the blade between strokes, not ideal if you're 15 feet away but will give a good finish

Pretty much tried all that except the mr longarm.
might just have to go in super early when only the cleaner is there and get little point up.

any kind of angle- which we normaly have a trailing edge to release water at the top instead of at the bottom- will result in a gap because of the curve.

If you do figure it out tell us.
