Commercial – Cleaning the windows of offices, high-rise buildings, apartments, and other large and industrial buildings comes with increased revenue, paired with higher labor costs, elevated risk, specialized training, and the need to bid for jobs. Depending on the height of the building, cleaners may need to set up scaffolding, ropes and harnesses, and other systems in order to effectively and safely move and clean around the exterior of buildings.
