Our window cleaning process starts with a site assessment. We walk the property, count the panes, assess the accessibility, and identify any problem areas. For IH-35E industrial properties, we note the diesel exhaust film and the truck traffic patterns. For Belt Line Road properties, we note the older glass and the pollen from mature trees. For newer industrial properties, we assess the glass condition. We then provide a quote based on the scope of work.
On the day of service, our crew arrives with the equipment and cleaning solutions needed for your building type. For ground-floor windows, we use traditional squeegee methods. For upper-floor windows, we use water-fed pole systems with deionized water. Most Lancaster buildings are low-rise, so squeegee and pole methods handle most properties.
For IH-35E industrial properties with diesel exhaust film, we use industrial-grade degreasers before the standard cleaning. The degreaser cuts through the diesel exhaust from the truck traffic, and then we squeegee the glass clean. This two-step process is essential for logistics properties — standard cleaning solutions cannot cut through the truck exhaust film.
For Belt Line Road properties, the older glass requires extra care. We inspect each pane for existing scratches and damage before cleaning. We use professional-grade squeegees and strip washers with gentle pressure, and we are careful with the detailing on older frames that may have finishes from the 1970s and 1980s. The mature trees along Belt Line contribute pollen and sap, and we use solvent pre-treatments for stubborn sap.
For newer industrial properties, the glass is in better condition and responds well to standard cleaning. We use squeegee methods for office areas and degreasers for loading dock areas.
The particularly active clay in southern Dallas County creates more dust than in other parts of DFW during dry periods. We use professional cleaning solutions that are formulated to cut through the fine clay dust. The dust is particularly stubborn, and the standard cleaning solutions may not be sufficient. We use stronger solutions that dissolve the clay film without damaging the glass.
After cleaning, we do a quality check with the property manager. For industrial properties, the quality check ensures the diesel exhaust has been fully removed. For Belt Line Road properties, the quality check ensures the older glass has been cleaned without adding new scratches.
