Monthind: Window Cleaning
Effective, Eco-Friendly, Window Cleaning We achieve fantastic results by using LESS WATER What makes Monthind the East of England’s leading window cleaning specialist? Monthind Clean delivers efficient, safe and professional window cleaning services to numerous commercial, public sector and facilities management clients in Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. As an exacting and potentially hazardous area of operations, window cleaning presents a variety of unique challenges. Thanks to our vast experience, dedicated training and top-level equipment, Monthind holds the required specific expertise to meet every challenge and deliver fantastic results for interior and exterior glass.
Pure Water for an Environmentally Conscious Clean Every drop of water used by Monthind’s window cleaning operatives is produced at our Colchester and Norwich depots using reverse osmosis filtration. This process removes all contaminants and minerals from the water, enabling our window cleaning teams to achieve an easily maintained smear-free finish. Using pure water in the window cleaning process lifts the dirt and grime off your glass, and is safe for use on adjacent surfaces which can be damaged when detergents or other chemicals are used.
Less water, same great finish An additional benefit of Monthind’s pure water window cleaning service is that we deliver consistently excellent results while reducing the amount of water used during the process.

diplomacy in sensitively handling emotive situations and compliance with confidentiality procedures.
What is a Biohazard? In short, any situation where bodily fluids are involved. A biohazard situation can arise anywhere from a school or lease property to a road traffic accident (RTA) or crime scene. biohazard situations are separated into four categories, ranging from the most serious Category 1 incidents such as a plane crash or bomb blast, to Category 4 incidents such as a minor injury requiring blood clean-up. The implications of a less than professional biohazard clean can be far-reaching, not just from a health risk perspective, but also from a confidentiality and sensitivity standpoint.
How do we train our Bio Engineers? First-class training is paramount to prepare Monthind’s bio engineers for the physical, technical and emotional challenges posed daily by biohazard and trauma cleaning. The guidelines and regulations surrounding biohazard or trauma cleaning are strict, due to the potential risk to human health. Whether it is a crime scene, a traffic accident, train crash, or suicide, the possibility of infection from bodily fluids is high and the need for ongoing training for cleaning operatives is paramount.
