Reachclean cleaning services specialise in cleaning solar panels and wndow cleaning in Manchester, we offer solar panels cleaning for commercial and domestic properties in the greater Manchester area.

The installation of solar panels comes at great expense but will reduce the cost of your heating and electricity bills, (as long as the solar panels are kept clean). There are many advantages when installing solar panels, the most important being that Solar energy is clean, renewable and sustainable, helping to protect our environment.

No one can tell how much power is lost due to dirty solar panels. Estimates range from 25% to 45% depending on location, weather, panel angle, air pollution, bird droppings, and plant debris.

There was a study done by Google on the effect of professional solar panels cleaning at their facilities, and the output before and after cleaning solar panels. You can see the ‘Solar Panels Cleaning’ study here. It is safe to say that solar panels cleaning is essential for maximum output. But what is the best way to conduct solar panel cleaning you may ask?

The best way for cleaning solar panels is to use water that has passed through a de-ionisation process which leaves the water in a pure state. The nature of pure water (pure water window cleaning) is to strive to return to its former impure state by actively absorbing all dirt, chemicals and minerals giving the glass solar panels a spot free finish.

Cleaning solar panels is the same as it is for window cleaning. Soft filament window cleaning brushes attached to the water fed window cleaning poles are used to help remove the baked in stubborn stains while ensuring that the glass protecting the photovoltaic cells aren’t damaged or scratched in any way. Using pure water window cleaning techniques with de-ionised water for cleaning solar panels is essential as ordinary tap water is full of chemicals and minerals and will leave streaks and white deposits on the glass reducing the solar panels output.

Reachclean cleaning services are a professional window cleaning company, we use highly trained staff experienced for cleaning solar panels with water fed window cleaning poles. We have worked hard to build a reputation for delivering the very highest standards and first class customer service and cleaning solar panels is one of our specialities.

Industrial power washers are substantially more powerful than the average available washers. Therefore, due to the effectiveness of our machines, we rarely have to resort to the use of chemicals. Our van mounted, self-contained water tanks carry 100′s of litres of water, allowing pressure washing to be undertaken in the most inaccessible and difficult to reach areas.

Using specialist pressure washing equipment we clean the hard surfaces concerned with a contained and concentrated high pressure water jet. Our machines are more powerful than equipment which is available to hire and without the associated high volumes of water that home pressure washers consume.

Block paving, paving flags and decking look great when first laid, but due to their porous nature it’s not long before moss and algae appear on the surface or between the joints. Hard surface areas over time appear to lose colour and look tired due to everyday wear and tear and being exposed to the elements. Using our specialist pressure washing equipment these hard surface areas can soon be brought back to life and restored to their original condition

We will re-sand or re-cement any jointing material dislodged during the cleaning process and wash down any surfaces that the pressure washing has affected.

Buildings such as commercial and industrial premises, office blocks and residential apartments can be transformed from appearing old, dull and tired to sharp, professional and rejuvenated constructions by using our specialist pressure washing services.

The use of UPVC materials on commercial premises is popular because of its durability, but it’s maintenance often gets overlooked. UPVC is portrayed as being maintenance free but over time UPVC becomes discoloured from dirt and grime. All UPVC surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis otherwise it starts to degrade. We use eco-friendly cleaning products that are non abrasive so it will not damage any surface layers.

When cleaning uPVC windows, doors and conservatories, it is important not to use harsh chemicals because these chemicals could damage the uPVC. Also it is important to avoid using abrasive cloths or scouring pads as this will scratch and damage the surface.

The restoration process starts by applying our eco friendly cleaning products to the surface of the UPVC paying special attention to all stubborn stains. Then we use a soft filament window cleaning brush attached to a water fed window cleaning pole to gently scrub and rinse all the dirt and grime away while ensuring that the glass and frames aren’t damaged or scratched. Then we fine detail the surface with a mild Eco friendly solvent cleaner which can dissolve even the toughest of stains.

The water that we use in our uPVC Window Cleaning has passed through a de-ionisation process which leaves the water in a pure state. The nature of pure water is to strive to return to its former impure state by actively absorbing all dirt, chemicals and minerals. The water is then heated so it breaks up the dirt faster leaving uPVC surfaces with a perfect finish.

We strive to achieve the best possible result by using cleaning products that have been produced to clean and restore most types of cladding, be it powder-coated, anodised aluminium or plastic-coated panels. These special products are non-abrasive and maintain a neutral pH which is the standard criteria for the cleaning of these types of surfaces.

We use specialist equipment when cladding cleaning including:

• Cherry pickers with up to 40 meters reach
• Special environmentally friendly cladding cleaning chemicals
• Industrial high powered pressure washers
• Industry standard water fed poles using heated, de-ionised water.(high level high pressure power poles)

Cladding cleaning should be an essential part of the overall cleaning structure of a company, and should also external window cleaning by commercial window cleaners. Not only does it enhance the exterior appearance of the building but can increase the lifespan of the cladding helping reduce the ongoing costs of your business.

The first thing clients and customers see when they visit your premises is very often the cladding and if this has been poorly maintained it can leave a negative impression on a potential client or customer. Cladding cleaning is something that is very often overlooked by the maintenance manager of a company. Our clients are often amazed when we are part way through a Cladding clean as they get the benefit of the ‘before and after’ effect which can be quite dramatic.

Cladding cleaning is one of the most rewarding jobs in the cleaning industry as the newly cleaned cladding has such a beneficial affect on the overall look of a clients premises. For a relatively small price, give your clients and customers a great first impression by having your cladding professionally cleaned by Reachclean cleaning services.

Reachclean cleaning services uses highly trained staff complying with all industry health and safety regulations. We can also undertake high level cleans as our staff are IPAF (International Power Access Federation) trained. We have worked hard to build a reputation for delivering the very highest standards and first class customer service

Gutter cleaning is something that is often overlooked, and should be part of a buildings general maintenance. Over time, moss, leaves, and other types of debris can collect in a buildings guttering.

This build up of debris can cause many problems, including blocked down-pipes and over-flowing gutters. If your gutters are not cleaned on a regular basis, the potential damage caused can be very costly to repair.

Regular gutter cleaning can prevent damage to the soffits and fascias of your house by stopping rain water flowing over the gutter edge and on to the wooden soffits and fascias and causing them to rot. This is very expensive to repair and usually involves complete replacement.

Gutters direct rainfall away from buildings to protect the outer skin of the property. If there is a problem with the gutters it can cause water damage to your property. The extra weight from a blocked gutter can cause your guttering to pull away from your fascias leaving water able to overflow and run down walls allowing them to become damp.

Reachclean cleaning services employ a special ‘Gutter Vac’ which sucks out any debris from the gutter without having to run the risk of using ladders and preventing any potential damage to the guttering.

The guttering system is cleaned, the downpipe or downspout is unblocked and we also do minor repairs if necessary. An additional service we offer is the cleaning of soffits and fascias.

Reachclean cleaning services clean your upvc soffits and fascias by treating them with Mild Eco friendly chemicals that loosens stubborn grime. Then we use a high pressure power-pole or water-fed pole system which uses heated de-ionised water to leave your upvc soffits and fascias looking like new.
