Writer when time allows, and hoping to improve as time goes by
I am sure you must have all seen the hilarious videos about how people fail to clean the glass panes on the automatic door systems. Not only do the cleaners not manage to do their job, it also seems to affect the door users.
What usually happens is that every time a cleaner tries to get near the door, the door activates, leaving them nothing to clean until it comes back.
Where it can seem fairly straight forward for a lot of us, it is still worth mentioning the obvious:
- Please make sure you switch the automatic doors you wish to clean off before doing any cleaning on them. When deactivating a door, setup clear signage to avoid a new set of humorous videos of people walking into deactivated automatic doors.
In any case, what not to do when cleaning the doors:
- Try and force them to stay open by holding one of the sliding doors
- Slide the cleaning device between the door and the wall when in open position
- Throw a bucket of water at the door (electric hazard possible depending on door system)
There are specialized companies which provide professional cleaning services who will know all there is to know on the subject and will avoid health and safety hazards inside your building.

The video results will be a good representation of what is happening when people don’t follow the simple rules above. It’s actually worth the search, as it is quite fun to watch.
