.Walk into almost any office, school, healthcare facility or retail store and you'll find plenty of glass. Windows, partitions, doors, mirrors and display cabinets all need regular cleaning to maintain a professional appearance.
Yet many businesses are still using the same cleaning methods they have for decades, a spray bottle, squeegee, cloth and a ladder.
While this approach gets the job done, it can also be time consuming, create unnecessary mess and increase the amount of time spent working at height.
As buildings incorporate more glass into their design, many cleaning teams are asking the same question. Is there a better way?
The Problem With Traditional Glass Cleaning
Traditional indoor glass cleaning presents several challenges.
For a start, spray bottles create overspray. While most of the cleaning solution lands on the glass, some inevitably ends up on surrounding surfaces including floors, furniture and nearby equipment.
This means more cleaning, more chemical usage and more wasted time.
Access can also be an issue. High windows and glass partitions often require ladders, which means constantly repositioning equipment to reach different areas. When cleaning large facilities, those extra minutes quickly add up.
The result is a cleaning process that can be slower, less efficient and more labour intensive than it needs to be.
A Smarter Solution
Modern indoor cleaning systems have been designed to solve these problems.
The Unger Stingray Indoor Glass Cleaning System combines a microfibre cleaning pad with an integrated precision spray system that applies cleaning solution directly where it's needed.
Instead of spraying cleaner into the air and hoping it lands on the glass, the Stingray delivers a controlled amount of solution through the cleaning head itself.
This helps reduce overspray, improve efficiency and minimise chemical waste.
For cleaning teams responsible for large amounts of interior glass, the difference can be significant.
Providing Options - Choose the Right Cleaning Pad
The Unger Stingray system can be fitted with either reusable Deep Cleaning TriPads or disposable QuikPads, allowing you to tailor the system to your cleaning environment.
Deep Cleaning TriPad: The best choice for routine commercial cleaning and heavily soiled surfaces. The premium microfibre pad provides excellent cleaning performance and is machine washable for up to 300 wash cycles.
QuikPads: Ideal for healthcare, aged care, food preparation and other hygiene sensitive environments. These are disposable after use, helping reduce the risk of cross contamination.
Reach Higher Without Constant Ladder Use
High level glass is often one of the most time consuming aspects of indoor cleaning. Whether it's office partitions, foyer windows or glass above doorways, reaching elevated surfaces usually means repeated ladder movements.
The Stingray system can be used with extension poles, allowing operators to clean many high level surfaces safely from ground level.
Not only does this improve productivity, it can also reduce the amount of time spent setting up and moving access equipment.
Ideal for Modern Commercial Buildings
The Unger Stingray system was designed for environments where glass is a prominent feature.
This includes:
Office buildings
Schools and universities
Healthcare facilities
Retail stores
Shopping centres
Hospitality venues
Commercial buildings with glass partitions
In these environments, even small improvements in cleaning efficiency can result in significant time savings over the course of a year.
More Than Just Windows
While designed for indoor glass cleaning, the Stingray can also be used on a range of smooth surfaces including:
Glass partitions
Mirrors
Glass doors
Display cabinets
Reception areas
Lift mirrors
This versatility allows cleaning teams to use a single system across multiple applications rather than carrying separate cleaning tools for each task.
A Better Approach To Indoor Glass Cleaning
Clean glass is important, but so is the process used to achieve it.
Traditional spray bottles and ladders still have their place, but modern cleaning systems offer a faster, cleaner and more efficient alternative for many indoor environments.
By reducing overspray, improving reach and simplifying the cleaning process, systems such as the Unger Stingray help cleaning professionals maintain high standards while improving productivity.
For businesses looking to streamline their indoor glass cleaning, it may be time to retire the spray bottle and take a smarter approach.
