Awnings under the unique Lauben arcades that must be cleaned before seasonal opening, shutters in the UNESCO Old Town, Venetian blinds in federal buildings, roller shutters on modern MFH. Four types, one specialist. The Lauben awnings of Bern are found nowhere else in Switzerland.
“No bot. No hold queue.”
Shutter & blind cleaning in Bern starts with what is unique to the city. The Lauben arcades: 6 km of covered walkways that line the Old Town streets. Every shop and restaurant under the Lauben has awnings that accumulate a full winter's worth of grime, moisture and arcade dust. They must be cleaned before the seasonal opening — or the first warm day reveals months of neglect to every passerby.
In the federal administration buildingsand modern MFH districts: motorised Venetian blinds, aluminium slats, roller shutters. Systematic slat-by-slat cleaning with mechanism check. Bern water has hardness grade 1–2 — very soft, but mineral deposits still appear on outdoor slats over time.
We clean all four types and always include a mechanism check. For Old Town shutters: restrained, UNESCO compliant, no solvents on historic fabric.
“The Lauben are unique to Bern. So is the cleaning challenge they create.”— Muharem Berisha
Lauben awnings, Old Town shutters, federal Venetian blinds, MFH roller shutters — every type needs its method. No universal approach, no shortcuts on original fabric.
Shops, restaurants and residential buildings under the unique Lauben arcades, and throughout the UNESCO Old Town. Awnings must be cleaned before seasonal opening. Shutters require dry cleaning — no high pressure, no solvents.
Federal ministry buildings and modern commercial premises with motorised Venetian blinds, restaurants under the Lauben with roller shutters. Cleaning before business opens, mechanism check included.
Modern MFH in Bümpliz, Bethlehem, Lorraine, Breitenrain — external Venetian blinds and aluminium slats. Systematically slat by slat, coordinated with building administration.
Awnings first, windows after — that way no Lauben arcade dust and awning residue lands on freshly cleaned shopfront glass. In Bern this matters more than anywhere: the 6 km of Lauben create a unique dust and moisture environment.
Combo price cheaper than two separate bookings. A single combined visit makes much more sense than two — particularly for Lauben shopfront operators.
