Window cleaning can come across as an easy task around the home or office. However there are literally thousands of people of all ages that end up in Nottingham hospitals each year due to falls from ladders or slipping over on wet or uneven surfaces. Window Cleaning has inherent risks due to the nature of the work and the difficult location of some windows. So before you begin cleaning your windows make sure you have a quick read of these safety tips.

Use of a ladder

Using a ladder increases the risk of injury significantly. Make sure the ladder your using is new or of good quality. Make sure all feet of the ladder are placed on solid even ground and that when on the ladder, you feet remain three steps from the top at all times as a very minimum to maintain balance. Do not stretch or move to far much because the ladder may fall to one side.

Windows maybe quite high from the ground or in a location that is very difficult to reach. It is important to use the appropriate window cleaning attachments to make your job easy.

Do Not Push Too Hard On The Glass While Trying To Clean It

If you are pushing hard on the glass it maybe that your just trying to hard or that you are using old or poor quality equipment. If your unable to get the results you want by using a gentle technique on the window you should stop immediately. Pushing to hard can cause the glass to break and you may end up cutting yourself very badly. If you need new equipment then that is an easy problem to fix.
