How high can you clean using rope access?

How disruptive is rope access to tenants and the public below?
Rope access window cleaning is designed to keep disruption to a minimum. With no structural obstructions and limited noise, operations within and around the building can usually continue undisturbed.
How often should high-rise commercial windows be cleaned?
High-rise commercial windows should be cleaned at least quarterly to ensure a clean and welcoming appearance both from the outside and the inside.
However, the building’s specific cleaning requirements, location, and pollution levels should all be taken into consideration when determining the most suitable cleaning frequency.
