Window Cleaning off a Canal Barge??
« on: July 22, 2011, 01:07:46 pm »
Hi There

Got asked to quote for this job Monthly clean and there are a few of them, other cleaners have gave it a miss, I now its hassle, but does anyone clean properties like this or anyone hired a barge or platform to clean off?
architects just don’t think about the windows to be cleaned.

or you could just adjust the angle of the brush or get a 90 degree gooseneck from gardiner and do it from the path, it would be tricky as you would be working virtually parallel with the window and you would def get dripped on so get some waterproofs..cheaper than a barge.

I personally blame the stupid people for buying the stupid designs, if they stopped the architects would design house that could be cleaned easier.

the balconys would be easy,  the hardest bit is in the middle bit that is bricked up both sides,  just do these trad from inside
