When Owner and President Leonard Malburg started a painting company on Kiawah Island in 1989, something extraordinary happened: his customers were so impressed with his service that they requested he expand his business to include pressure washing, window cleaning, locksmith, and many other services. Over time, Lenny has done just that. Lenny has earned a reputation for listening to his customers and meeting their needs again and again. His personal, hands-on approach to property management is the reason the company has been affectionately called Lennys Kiawah Services for the last two decades. While Lenny remains committed to the companys day-to-day activities, the company has grown and added staff. The company now has multiple crews of maintenance experts and a fleet of fully equipped trucks servicing the area. Changing the name to simply Kiawah Services seemed like a natural part of that growth. We hope this old commercial makes you laugh as much as it does for us. (THE BIRDS ARE DIGITAL!

Firm fined after window cleaner fell from roof

Firm fined after window cleaner fell from roof

Thursday, October 29, 2009, 06:30

A window-cleaning firm from Lincoln has been ordered to pay out more than £5,000 after one of its employees fell from a roof, breaking eight ribs.

A Nicoll & Son Limited, which is based in Allenby Road Industrial Estate in Crofton Drive, Lincoln, was charged with breaking Health and Safety at Work regulations.

The city’s magistrates’ court was told how James Theaker, 50, was cleaning windows at Lincoln College, with two other employees, when the accident happened in November last year.

Mr Theaker had climbed onto a flat section of roof at the college to clean windows of a neighbouring building, when he reached over and fell.

The court heard that he plummeted 13ft to the ground, where his fall was broken by metal railings.

Directors of the company, Susan and Alistair Nicoll, pleaded guilty to contravening health and safety regulations.

Health and Safety Executive inspector Judith McNulty-Green was prosecuting in the case.

She told magistrates: “Work at that height should be properly planned and supervised and should be undertaken safely.

“The instructions given to the team were detailed about the location of the job, but were not detailed about the method of cleaning.

“The employees had not been told that they should have used a harness.”

The court heard that the workers had been using the pole-washing system – where water is pumped up extendable poles to clean high windows.

But several windows could not be reached using this method.

So Mr Theaker climbed onto the roof, without the use of a harness to prevent him falling.

Peter Smith, mitigating, told the court that the company has never broken a health and safety regulation before.

A Nicoll & Son Limited was fined £2,500 and ordered to pay £2,948 in court costs – meaning it will now have to pay a total of £5,448.

Representatives from Lincoln College are due at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, November 10 to face charges of breaking Health and Safety at Work regulations in relation to the same case.

For a statement from the company following the court case, see Thursday’s Echo.

FREE Samples of Window Cleaning Chemicals

Window Cleaning now and in the future will all ways need one thing… http://www.windowcleaningcartoons.com/c6.jpgWindow cleaning solution and chemicals to clean the glass.  Over the 20 years they type of chemical have change dramatically.  From water and vinegar to TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE (TSP), many different types of cleaning chemicals.  What is best?  That might just depend on who you talk to.  Twenty years ago it was TSP then it moved to water with ammonia and then to dish soap with ammonia.   The list goes on and on, many different store bought chemicals were uses and popular mainly because they are easy to get.  T0 the average route work window cleaner dish soap might be all they ever used till the late 80’s.  That is when the commercial chemicals started to take off.  The Pill by Unger soon became the industry stranded.  But it lacked the suds and bubbles of the dish soap.  Still it was very popular with commercial low and high rise cleaners. Titan Labotories introduced the Glass Gleam-3 used new “state-of-the art formulation, designed specifically for the professional window cleaner. It outperforms any other cleaner available. Tests with leading window cleaning companies and a survey of window cleaners who switched to GG-3, show conclusively that Glass Gleam-3 is the product window cleaners need and have been looking for.”

Yes, it was true GG3 became the new chemical but harden window washers we not ready to give up their Joy Dish soap.  The problem was more of a psychological one rather then a chemical formulation.  http://www.windowcleaningcartoons.com/assets/images/water_spot_envy500Many of the forums and chat rooms fought about it, and it came down to suds and bubbles again.  The idea that is a window have suds all over it then it must be cleaning the glass.

Titan Labs stuck with it and soon the GG-3 had a brother GG-4with suds.

The next big issues was between water spots and hard water stains.  This battle was one with Titan Labs assortment of chemicals to fight this issue.  If your new to window cleaning or an “old timer” having these chemicals in your arsenal will give you an advantage over your competition.

  •  Glass Gleam-3 Window Cleaning Concentrate
  • Glass Gleam-4 Window Cleaning Concentrate
  • MDR-B Mineral Deposit Remover
  • Oil-Flo Safety Solvent Cleaner
  • Oil-Flo 141 Safety Solvent Cleaner
  • Titan Green Multipurpose Cleaner
  • Cleanup Solvent 22
  • A-1 Hardwater Stain Remover

I’ve bought and used each of these chemicals and I’ll tell you my personal favorite is the A-1 Hardwater Stain Remover.  With on bottle I made over $300.00 cleaning glass.  With my route customer I offer this services every six months for and extra $5.00 per pane.  Now you can get a free sample of each of them and test them out your self.

Praise for window cleaners who rescued elderly woman from fire

Saturday, September 26, 2009, was when two regular guys that many might not even of noticed or thought twice about became heroes!  Many just see someone cleaning and don’t take the time to get to know them… Ya, they are there, and are working but window cleaning is not all they can do… take  Lee and Alfie, they went beyond the call of duty read about it below.

TWO window cleaners have been hailed as heroes for rescuing an elderly woman from flats.

Lee Reardon, 25, and work-mate, Alfie Dunn, 23, leapt into action when they saw smoke coming from a window of St John’s Court in Paignton yesterday afternoon.

While Alfie climbed in through the first floor window and found Joan McMann, 82, in a smoke-filled room.

Lee went in through the door, led her to safety and put out the chip pan fire.

Mrs McMann said she felt like the ‘luckiest person in Paignton’ after being led to safety while firefighters hailed the pair as heroes.

“Bless their hearts, those boys saved my life” she said.

Lee said: “We were cleaning the windows and noticed smoke coming out of one of the windows. My friend went through the window and found an old lady inside.

“I went around the front and he opened the door for me. There was lots of smoke inside. We helped the lady out then I went back in, picked up a rug and put it over the fire.
