The overhead problem in churches and houses of worship
Sanctuaries are photographed at weddings and services, and cobwebs show up in photos.
Volunteers cannot safely reach high ceilings and fixtures.
What to clean first
Vaulted and Cathedral Ceiling Cleaning
Vaulted ceiling cleaning removes dust and cobwebs from the high, sloped ceilings of sanctuaries, lobbies, venues and showrooms, along with the beams, fixtures and ledges within them.
Chandelier Cleaning
Chandelier cleaning restores the sparkle of crystal, glass and metal fixtures in lobbies, ballrooms, sanctuaries and dining rooms.
Beam and Rafter Cleaning
Beam and rafter cleaning removes the dust, cobwebs and grease that collect on top of exposed wood and steel structural members.
Ceiling Fan Cleaning
Ceiling fan cleaning removes the thick dust and grease that build up on fan blades, motor housings and downrods.
Flag and Banner Dusting
Indoor flag and banner dusting removes the dust and cobwebs that settle on hanging flags, championship banners and pennants in gyms, schools, churches and arenas.
Transom and Clerestory Window Cleaning
Transom and clerestory window cleaning cleans the interior glass, frames and sills of small windows above doors and the high band of windows near the ceiling in sanctuaries, gyms and schools.
Projector and Projection Screen Cleaning
Projector cleaning removes dust from the exterior housing, intake vents and mount of ceiling projectors, and from projection screen cases.
Ceiling and Wall Speaker Cleaning
Speaker cleaning removes dust and grease from ceiling speaker grilles and wall-mounted speaker cabinets.
