Glass House owners should not throw stones

You’ve all heard the old saying “those who live in glass houses should not throw stones “. In our experience as a window cleaning company in Chicago, we’ve seen our share of this in action. You see, all of our clients are commercial, meaning they either have office workers coming in every day, or customers to walk in off the street each day. Before these people even get inside the building they can see the way that you maintain your “house”, that is your business environment. What kind of impression are you giving off? We hope it’s a great one. But often we see people not maintaining their buildings in the way that they should. Like all of us, these business owners or facility managers understand the value of appearance. They wouldn’t buy a car that looked bad, a house that didn’t have a great curb appeal or even clothes secondhand that are obviously worn. So why give that impression to your employees and customers? If you call us at Innovative Window Cleaning, we can come up with a routine maintenance plan for your building that will leave your windows looking great all year round. We can set up a schedule so that you won’t even have to think about calling us the next time time passes by or seasons change. So think about it. Image is everything in today’s society. When you can plan ahead for something as routine as window cleaning, why not go for it? Check one more item off of the “to-do” list […]

Glass doors for businesses

A wide percentage of businesses today have glass entry doors. Many of these include restaurants but also include commercial buildings like grocery stores and department stores. Stores allow people to see in your establishment making it an inviting atmosphere. There’s no question it’s a warmer feeling to know what you’re walking into. With that said, there is one big concern: cleanliness. These stores can be graced by thousands of fingers every day leaving germs, fingerprints, dirt – even food – that can turn off the next patron. Just like a public restroom we strongly recommend you take care of this task on a set schedule every day. That is, very often! Be sure to have an employee earmarked to do this task each hour. And train your staff to have their eyes peeled for things like food or other major issues. Innovative window cleaning can tackle the tougher stains and cleaning issues. But we are not able to attend to immediate cleaning needs. So let this just be a reminder to treat your beautiful door entryway with respect. It’s the first thing your customers come in contact with and the last thing before they leave.

The hidden costs of an ugly building

We talked in a blog about the benefits of your building and storefront displays. Conversely have you considered what your building may be costing you in sales alone? The fact is, if you have an ugly building,  you are losing customers and even valued potential employees. No one wants to walk into a building that is not inviting. The money you have saved by buying a building or renting one on the “seedy” side of town is going to come back to haunt you. And the money you saved by allowing your signage, display and street sign by falling to pieces is going to bite you.  We can’t tell you how many stores we see of signs that are peeling, damaged or falling apart from years of neglect. Signage alone, we believe, may be your number one advertising piece. If your building looks neglected, customers will assume they will be neglected as well. The world today has changed and people have more choices than ever. If they don’t choose McDonald’s they will go to Burger King next door. There are 50 dentists and  50 cleaners on every block in the city of Chicago. Don’t think people realize how much business they lose every day to competitors within walking distance. There are somethings you cannot control within your business. But somethings you can. We strongly suggest you put full effort into your curbside image. Make sure your signs are clean and have a modern design to them. Also, if possible. try to rent your building on the good side of town. And of course make […]

How to Choose a Window Washer

How should you choose a window washing company? That’s a question we hear a lot. The main thing to look for at first is whether they specialize in commercial or residential washing. The vast majority of window washing companies focus on residential. This means that they don’t need to have certain skills, adapt to as many styles of windows, or going to the highest heights. So as you surf the web or talk to friends, make sure you are clearly asking for a commercial window washing company. After that, we recommend you find someone with experience. That should instill a lot of confidence in you. Finally, you should seek a window washing company who actively communicates with you, who calls you for the next appointment instead of waiting for you to request another. A company who pays attention to the weather and comes at the right times. And, a company respects your time, workplace, and other factors to make sure their presence is barely noticed. We know we are far from perfect. But we like to feel believe that we at Innovative Window Cleaning fit a lot of these criteria. We hope that you will consider us the next time you are looking for commercial window washing. About Us Innovative Window Cleaning, located in Chicago, Illinois, has been a strong leader in the commercial window cleaning industry and provides excellent service to corporate clients in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

Tempered Glass Information

FABRICATION DEBRIS Definition: Fabrication debris is, as the name implies, material that should not be present on glass before it enters or travels thru the tempering furnace. It is made up mostly of glass fines but can include other debris such as insulation particles that have not been properly washed off the glass or cleaned from the furnace rollers. This debris will fuse to the glass surface during the tempering process and create a defective surface that window cleaners and others can dislodge and move across the glass surface in the process of properly cleaning the window. Razor blade before and after use on poor quality tempered glass Fabrication debris magnified Window Cleaning Industry It is well known by window cleaners that razor blades and glass scrapers alone will not scratch uncoated glass when properly used; the use of such tools has been the industry standard for decades. Razor blades and scrapers have been employed by not just the window cleaning industry, but are also widely used throughout the glass industry. In recent years, as a result of contaminated or defective surfaces on some tempered and heat-strengthened glass, window cleaners have been exposed to new challenges and unforeseen liability in window cleaning. When standard window cleaning techniques are employed to clean the contaminated or defective surfaces on poor quality tempered or heat strengthened glass, scratching of the glass surface can and very often does result. Quality Control in the Glass Industry Regular annealed glass is tempered or heat strengthened through a specific heating process in order […]

The Benefits of Window Cleaning

Why do high-rise office windows need to be cleaned? No one enjoys wearing glasses that are dirty because they are unable to see clearly. The same is true for windows in office buildings. A dirty office window makes it difficult for employees to work effectively. Each time employees glance through the window, they focus on the dirt and grime, not the scene outdoors. Studies show that every fifteen minutes office workers need to take their eyes away from their computer screens and focus on a distant object to avoid work-related injuries. A dirty office window hampers this effort. Cleaner windows also result in better energy efficiency and lower overhead costs. A clean window allows in more natural light. Quite simply, employees use less electricity when they can see properly. Luckily, Innovative Window Cleaning offers fast, cost-effective window cleaning for a variety of different office window configurations in all types of high-rise buildings. Our employees are trained to clean your corporation windows in the safest way possible to perfection, being careful to follow all local building safety code requirements.

Campus Window Cleaning

Clean windows are an important part of campus maintenance and are something best taken care of during summer vacation when school is out of session and the amount of people using academic buildings and dormitories are greatly reduced. Despite the overall positive impression a well maintained building presents, the state of windows can directly affect a student’s performance. Clean windows allow light to pass through keeping students in a good mood by alleviating depression as well as creating a warm, positive environment. Dirty windows can be distracting and many find working in a dirty, unkempt atmosphere next to impossible. Maintaining windows also affects the life of the glass itself. Overtime glass is permeated by salt, acid rain, and hard minerals. Washing windows, even just once or twice a year, can help extend the life of the glass. Simply put it’s an issue where prevention is cheaper than a cure. Window cleaning is definitely a task best handled by professionals like those at Innovative Window Cleaning. Not only will professionals be able to safely clean glass, removing hard water stains that may have built up, they also physically inspect windows as they work to check for loose screens, cracks, or breakdown of window mechanics. Keeping clean windows is more important than often realized. Putting it off can be dangerous while simply maintaining glass can extend its life as well as keep students happy and productive. Don’t let windows get so dirty that you forget what’s on the other side. Go on, let some sunlight in.

A Sunny Outlook

Patient Outlook Sparkling medical facilities are often expected by patients and by visitors too. Whether a patient visits a hospital or a doctor’s office, clean windows are symbolic with well-maintained facilities. A sunny outlook toward a medical facility’s condition could provide a certain degree of comfort, while grimy windows may cause a patient to question whether future visits are likely to occur. Working Conditions Clean windows are important for the employees of a medical center too. Employees may become sick from germs or dust that builds up on a medical center’s interior windows. It’s also important to focus on exterior window cleaning. Clear windows might enable sunlight to fill certain working areas. Sunlight could contribute toward lower energy costs too.
