Safe technique to clean your greenhouse roof
Written by Roger de Jagher, Specialist Shading & Coating | Last update: 13. June 2023
Contamination gradually accumulates on the greenhouse roof glass, while moss may develop in the gutters, hindering light penetration. Ensuring optimal light transmission and a stable climate for harvesting in the greenhouse relies on regular cleaning.
Ensuring safety while cleaning greenhouses
Given the inherent risks associated with working at heights during greenhouse cleaning, prioritizing safety measures is important. Wearing a safety harness while manually cleaning the greenhouse roof is essential to minimize the impact of a potential fall. Additionally, using a gutter trolley during greenhouse cleaning tasks is advisable. This equipment offers a secure grip, facilitating easier navigation of the gutters and ensuring stability throughout the process.
Automated roof cleaner
Utilizing a roof cleaner ensures both safety and efficiency in greenhouse cleaning operations. This equipment, featuring brushes, is mounted on a platform and facilitates automatic cleaning. With the adoption of a roof washer, the need for employees to perform hazardous tasks on the greenhouse roof is eliminated. Whether manually operated from the ground or set to operate fully automatically, the roof cleaner presents a safer alternative for greenhouse cleaning.
