Just finished a post in my blog called, “Glass Smart New Product Educational Seminars”. Please take a look.
If you have difficulty getting to the blog I will copy paste the post here;…
Today in the window cleaning industry we are facing a rather unique problem. The quality of the surface of window glass has been seriously challenged. Anyone that has come into the business here in the northeastern part of the United States knows this problem intimately. Simply because we know what the old glass was like. It is still that way and we clean it every day. On occasion we even have to perform non-routine cleaning of the old glass. Which carries virtually no dangers. The surface is super smooth (unless we are working on the exterior of some storm windows which have been weathered by many years). But when we are faced with brand new glass straight from the manufacturing plant;…we have to use extreme caution. If we are performing routine window cleaning we can consider ourselves fairly safe. Just a soft applicator, soapy water, and a squeegee will do no harm. Even if the quality of the surface is defective. I know that is a bad word. But it does fit from our perspective. Glass must be cleaned. When it is covered with concrete, wood stain, hard water deposits, paint, stucco, or who knows what;…such debris must be removed. Non-routine practices used to remove such from glass when the surface is of excelling quality (not defective) are usually safe. But when the surface is indeed scratch sensitive for different reasons, then non-routine window cleaning moves to an entirely different level. What makes this even more complicated is the fact that most of the time you cannot know the difference between defective and not defective when the windows are covered by paint, wood stain, hard water spots, or concrete. So every non-routine window cleaning job MUST be approached as if it had defective/scratch sensitive surfaces.
This is the primary focus of this new series of educational seminars that I am beginning. They will begin in Fishkill, New York and will focus on both the tools and the technology to deal with non-routine window cleaning. The tools will include specialty abrasives, chemical products, and mechanical equipment both motorized and hand held. Each seminar will include a discourse with Q & A following. The seminar will be spiced with different video presentations. Then following will be demonstrations of the new tools. I am going to see about getting as many free samples to you as possible from the manufacturers. Also I will have on hand all chemical and abrasive products mentioned in the seminar for you to see. Further all information on the tools will be available for you to have. Such will explain what these products are, with an SDS, who is selling or manufacturing all products, and the best way to get them. All of this information will be available at every Seminar.
I am planning the first Glass Smart Seminar for June 21st, of 2019 at the Quality Inn (directly behind the 84 Diner on route 52) in Fishkill, New York. The cost will be fifty USD per person. We are going to try to limit the number to 40 because the room has a maximum limit of 50 unless there are tables. Because of this we are asking for an advance confirmation.
