GHB Window Cleaning is committed to helping homeowners & business’s in Seattle and around the Washington state by ‘Making Windows Shine.’ Recently, we were invited by Redfin to contribute to their article, Window Cleaning Tips from the Pros.
Certain conditions can lead to window condensation and mold. When mold is present, it’s often a warning sign that excessive moisture exists inside the house. Condensation on windows is a result of low temperatures on the surface of the glass and high moisture content in the air. To help prevent condensation and window mold, check all windows for smooth operation and increase interior ventilation. Also, make sure to use exhaust fans when showering or cooking. If condensation persists, consider installing a dehumidifier or ceiling fans to improve air circulation.
Don’t use any caustic chemicals, petroleum cleaners or razor blades to clean windows. This includes not using abrasive pads or putty knives. Instead, Do use mild dish soap, like Dawn, and clean water and always rinse completely and wipe dry with a soft cloth. For best cleaning results, avoid washing glass windows in direct sunlight. If screens are present, remember to remove screens prior to window cleaning which is the perfect time to wash screens with mild soap, rinse and re-install.
Check out Redfin’s article to see what other window cleaning experts had to say about tips for improving your home to sell and to ensure that every aspect of your house looks pristine, especially your windows.

Bellevue, WA July 31, 2015 – With Seattle patiently waiting for football season, the Virginia Mason Athletic Center is supporting local businesses as they gear up for training camp. GHB Window Cleaning Inc., a small Seattle Business, has been working hard preforming exterior window cleaning and top –bottom pressure washing services at the facility; helping prepare the VMAC for the return of the 2015 Conference Champions. However, it takes a great game plan to execute work at heights over 120 feet.
Although this game plan may not consist of X’s & O’s or a quarterback sneak, it does include a route to safety that always leads to a win. Prior to work commencing, Labor and Industries requires all contractors to have an Accident Prevention Program and with the technicians working as high as 120 feet a Site Specific Safety Plan or Fall Protection Work Plan is required. This plan identifies fall hazards of 10 feet or more and informs the technicians and the facility of the methods of fall protection being used as well as a detailed rescue strategy if needed. The department of Labor and Industries & OSHA imposes heavy fines for companies that do not follow these regulations. The laws are inforce to keep workers safe & limit liability. Because of the safety preparations executed beforehand and a winning game plan, GHB Inc. has a perfect, flawless safety record; Win!
George Brewer, President of GHB Window Cleaning Inc., recognizes that safety is always priority one and has on-going employee training & offers his expertise to other local business’s in the area. He said, “Falls are one of the most common serious work related accident and so many owners are unaware of their obligations when it comes to laws that govern fall protection both on the State (WISHA) & Federal (OSHA) Level. … Our game plan simple; prepare & train with safety and execute with quality service.”

In a recent fall restraint system anchor inspections for a client in Seattle, it was discovered that the system had to be red tagged due to the anchor not withstanding proper load limits which could cause massive injury or death to an employee using this system. The anchors on the system were not secure to the roof and loose. OSHA 1910 governs fall protection systems and states (10) Anchorages to which personal fall arrest equipment is attached shall be capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee attached, or shall be designed, installed, and used as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two, under the supervision of a qualified person.
If a fall arrest – restraint system or roof anchors are on any building, building owners are required to have them inspected at intervals not exceeding 12 months.
OSHA 1910.66 | WAC Chapter 296 Annual Inspections of Roof Anchors, Fall Protection System Inspection and tests – Periodic inspections and tests. OSHA 1910.66(g)(2)(i) Related building supporting structures shall undergo periodic inspection by a competent person at intervals not exceeding 12 months.
1910.66(g)(2)(iii) The building owner shall keep a certification record of each inspection and test required under paragraphs (g)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section. The certification record shall include the date of the inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection, and the number, or other identifier, of the building support structure and equipment which was inspected. This certification record shall be kept readily available for review by the Assistant Secretary of Labor or the Assistant Secretary’s representative and by the employer.
Building owners Responsibility – Separate from the annual inspections, building owners shall ensure equipment or anchors be re-certified 1. At periods not to exceed 10 years, 2. When equipment shows excessive wear or damage, 3. When re-roofing or renovation 4. When equipment is modified or removed from the structure.
