Commercial Window Cleaning
• Some roofs on buildings do not have enough roof anchors or
“tie off points”, therefore, the commercial window cleaning
company has to use mobile roof anchors. Exterior window
cleaning can be done with the use of a “Bosun’s Chair” In
these cases. A Bosun’s chair is an apparatus that keeps the
window washer suspended in the air in order for them to
clean high rise windows. The Bosun’s chair is usually just a
plank of board or a piece of heavy material such as canvas,
that is connected to ropes or chains—not unlike the same type
of harnesses used when rock or mountain climbing.
• Another way commercial window washers clean a high-rise
building is with the use of scaffolding. Scaffolding, is a device
that is constructed temporarily to assist construction workers
or window washers in doing their job in areas that are too
high for a standard ladder. Scaffolding can be dangerous to
use if it has not been constructed with the proper safety
measures in place.
