High-level Cleaning Guide
High-level cleaning involves cleaning areas of a building that are at a great height. Typically, you might think of multi-storey window cleaning as an example of high-level cleaning, but it also extends to fascias, gutters, roofs and high internal ceilings.
There are significant challenges to cleaning at a high level. Most notably, high-level cleaning is dangerous, and should only be carried out by professional cleaners who are trained, insured and have access to specialist high-level cleaning equipment.
In this article, we take a look at how professional cleaning companies such as Alpha Power Cleaners overcome the challenges of high-level cleaning to deliver a safe, efficient and effective high-level clean.
Which premises require high-level cleaning?
High-level cleaning is required in a wide variety of premises. Really, any commercial or industrial building with height will need some form of high-level cleaning. This regularly includes:
- Factories
- Warehouses
- Distribution centres
- Office blocks
- Large retail outlets
- Supermarkets
- Cinemas and leisure complexes
- Historical buildings
- Churches
What are the challenges of high-level cleaning?
High-level cleaning should always be delegated to professional cleaners who specialise in high-level cleaning. This is because, unlike regular cleaning, high-level cleaning has two distinct challenges:
- It’s dangerous
Each year, thousands of workers suffer slip and fall injuries as a result of high-level cleaning. Working at such an elevated level can result in serious injuries or even death if the safety procedures aren’t followed.
- It’s time consuming
High-level cleaning typically takes much longer than regular cleaning because of all the extra safety gear required. Cleaners need to set up safety harnesses and all the equipment. They’ll need to propel themselves to great heights and will take time manoeuvring from one area to another safely.
High-level cleaning equipment
High-level cleaning specialists overcome these challenges by using the most advanced high-level cleaning systems available. This includes SpaceVac, the world’s no.1 high-level cleaning system.
SpaceVac high-level cleaning systems provide safe and efficient cleaning up to 20m in height. Over a decade’s worth of development and refinement have led to a precision-engineered cleaning system that combines safety and performance in equal measure.
Thanks to the long, extendable and lightweight poles, users can clean at great heights with precision and from the safety of the ground floor. The equipment also comes with a variety of brush heads and tools for versatile cleaning.
The SpaceVac high-level cleaning equipment is split into four types:
- Internal — clean up to 11m from the safety of the ground floor
- ATEX — spark-free operation for use in an explosive atmosphere
