Seattle Firm, Renova Exteriors, Sets The Bar High By Cleaning the Space Needle’s 10,000 Square Feet of Glass

Share this news:

Cleaning company Renova Exteriors recently cleaned the enormous windows surrounding Seattle’s rotating Space Needle, using specialist workers dangling from harnesses.

-- Cleaning the 10,000 square feet of glass on Seattle’s 605-foot Space Needle is no easy feat. However, Renova Exteriors, a local company renowned for its cleaning expertise, does it once or twice per year as part of an ongoing agreement with the popular tourist destination. 

Cleaning the glass on any sky-high city observatory is challenging for any organization. However, the fact that the Space Needle has the world’s only revolving glass floor makes this project even more challenging. Renova Exterior’s team had to rappel from the side of the Space Needle to reach the portion of glass underneath the observation tower in a unique move that few other external cleaning companies ever perform. 

“Our Commercial Production Manager, Kiril Topalvov, consulted the Space Needle’s management about the need for a permanent process for cleaning the exterior glass surrounding the landmark,” Renova Exteriors explains. “Now, they use this method every time it requires cleaning, helping it look its best for the millions of tourists that visit it every year.” 

Renova Exteriors cleans the Space Needle with preheated de-ionized water applied to the glass surface, which is made on-site using the company’s specialty equipment. This approach allows it to get a streak-free shine without chemicals, supporting the brand’s sustainability goals and reducing the Space Needle’s environmental impact. 

The Space Needle’s exterior cleaning story was picked up by both King5 and Komo News. Workers from Skyscraper Window Cleaning, which Renova Exteriors recently acquired as a sister company, were seen dangling underneath the Space Needle’s platform, supported by harnesses while doing their work. Reporters described the scenes as being like “Tom Cruise in an action movie.”

This publicity builds on Renova Exterior’s recent work at the REI Flagship store, and the famed Lumen Field in Seattle, home to the Seattle Seahawks. The cleaning brand aims to use these projects to build a reputation for excellence and attract more high-profile clients who can benefit from its advanced, eco-friendly technology.
