History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 238990-96 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of window cleaning can be traced back to ancient Rome, where slaves were tasked with cleaning the windows of wealthy citizens. In the 1800s, with the rise of skyscrapers, window cleaning became a dangerous and difficult job. The first safety ropes were introduced in the 1870s, but it wasn't until the 1930s that the first automatic window cleaning machines were invented. In the United States, the industry saw significant growth in the 1950s and 1960s, as more and more high-rise buildings were constructed. Today, window cleaning is a vital service for both commercial and residential buildings, with new technologies and safety measures continuing to improve the industry.
