In early 2025, ATEB Cleaning Services was tasked with high window cleaning at Greater Lowell Technical High School during freezing winter conditions. Using contractor equipment and quick problem-solving, our team delivered spotless windows safely and on schedule, even devising a creative solution when cleaning fluids began to freeze on site.
