Use the Unger pads with 50% alcohol 50% pure water use a thick pad to apply the alcohol and water mixture and then the polish pad afterwards get that whole thing done in half an hour

Thought I’d revive this since a networking friend gave me a lead on a cafeteria that’s interested in a quote… apparently 3000 sq feet of this stuff. I don’t have anywhere near enough cleaning pads for that large an area.
I’m going to look at it next week and see what’s up. I’m thinking first clean maybe the wagtail depending on how dirty they are. I’ll take some pictures and, since this is just a weird job, maybe do my first “what would you charge” thread.
Unger zero degree squeegee with 18" channel
Ettore porcupine sleeve, holds enough water to clean well and scrub in a couple passes.
Drop cloths under everything, obviously.
The only down side is staring up the entire job while using the pole.

I didn’t read all of the comments but I would have done just like you did and used a rolling scaffold for the initial cleaning. After that an indoor wfp. Initial cleaning of $4 per mirror. Maintenance cleaning once every 4 months at $2 per mirror with the indoor wfp.
Quick question just curious .
How much would you charge for mirrors along a wall that are the same size ?

I’d probably still charge $2. We don’t touch commercial glass/mirrors for anything less ever than $2. Also, if they don’t go on some sort of maintenance, it would be the full price every time.
Thanks for answering my question . Maybe my philosophy is wrong about stuff like this , and I know everyone has a different business maybe you have crews I don’t , so I wouldn’t do a ceiling full of mirrors for the same price I would do a wall if mirrors . Actually I never cleaned anything other than a sky light that is upside down . Maybe it is as easy as some say on here. If I had to do it I would rent a Scissor lift .

To be honest a scissor lift is over kill. I think the business owner would have a hard time justifying that cost to have the mirrors cleaned. I can’t tell from the picture but it doesn’t look like that ceiling is too tall. You could probably do it with a large A frame ladder and hit 4 mirrors at once before moving the ladder.
We do a lot of weird and challenging stuff like this. It’s a differentiator for us.
