Conclusions and Action Required
• The enhanced window cleaning required about 10 minutes vs. about two minutes for the regular cleaning
• Additional cleaning attention was required along the bottom four inches of the window due to splashing from its ledge.
• The committee members are invited to view the difference themselves to be better able to vote on that $12,000 additional expense and the value it delivers
• The rep indicated that the enhanced cleaning’s benefit could last as long four years
