02. What Church Cleaning at Bling Bling covers
The scope of work in Klosterneuburg at a glance — what the contract says and what actually happens on site.
Candle soot on walls, piers and vaulting
Soot is taken off dry first: a soft brush, a vacuum held at a distance, a latex sponge. Whether any damp work follows at all is decided by a test area.
Wax on stone, timber and textiles
Allowed to harden, taken off mechanically with a soft tool, residual shadows only by an agreed method. On valuable floors and pews we work only within the scope of what has been released.
Furnishings, altar, sculpture and gilding
These surfaces are dusted dry only, and only where that has been released. Gilding, polychromed timber surfaces and paintings belong to the conservator, not in a cleaning item.
Stained glass, leaded glazing and windows
Dusted dry from the inside, without any cleaning agent and without pressure on the lead or the paint layer. Protective glazing and frames on the outside are assessed separately.
Porch, tower access, gallery, pigeon droppings and the record
Droppings are damped down before removal and worked with respiratory protection, never swept dry. Every visit is documented with the date and photographs.
Sacristy, vestments and textiles
The credence, the cupboards, the sacrarium and the floor by the ordinary method, carpet runners and kneeler cushions vacuumed. Liturgical textiles and vessels are handled only on the parish's instructions.
Klosterneuburg is shaped by the abbey: large vaulted surfaces, the abbey church and chapels, and alongside them parish churches in the outlying districts with smaller spaces and little staff. Loess and vineyard dust comes in through the portals, the Danube meadows bring high humidity, and in the stock there are many grave slabs and epitaphs in the floor, which are worked with little liquid and neutral. The short journey out of the north of Vienna makes short appointments between two services possible, which for heavily used churches is often the only way.
03. Church Cleaning: Bling Bling vs. the competition
A church is in most cases a protected building, and there the wrong cleaning is not poor work but an alteration of the fabric. Water gilding, polychromed timber, stained glass, lime-bound stone and salt-laden render react to water, acid and mechanical action irreversibly, and work on listed buildings requires permission under the Austrian Monument Protection Act. We therefore work in three zones: surfaces that we clean, surfaces that we only dust, and surfaces that belong to the conservator. What falls into which zone is settled at the inspection with the parish and held in writing; the cost framework follows after that. In Klosterneuburg, Bling Bling works with the same core team that knows the building.

08. Church Cleaning for 5 typical situations
The same service looks different depending on the occasion — these five situations come up most often.
Advent and setting up the crib
The surfaces are done before the crib is set up, needles, wax and candle remains afterwards. Figures and textiles only where that has been released.
After a funeral with many guests
Flower water on stone, soil and grit in the porch, wax on the stands. Often there is only a short time until the next mass, and the procedure follows from that.
Organ or restoration work in the building
Dust protection before the start, a builders' film and plaster dust afterwards — coordinated with what the organ builder and the restoration require. The instrument itself stays with the organ builder.
Droppings in the loft or the tower chamber
Bird and bat droppings are picked up damped down, with respiratory protection and separate disposal. If it is a bat roost, we report it and do not touch it.
A concert or performance in the church
The surfaces before the set-up, and after the strike marks from staging, tape residue, cable impressions and chair marks on the stone floor. Both with a fixed completion time.
★ Worth knowing
What is often misjudged about Church Cleaning
Said up front, on the facts — not after the invoice.
Heating up too quickly blackens more than a year of use
Warm air rises along walls and vaulting and carries soot and fine dust with it; if the church is heated strongly before a service, strong convection arises and the deposit is carried across the cold building elements. At the same time the relative humidity falls, and timber, the organ and polychromed furnishings crack — in conservation practice the recommendation is therefore to heat slowly, in the order of one kelvin per hour, and to hold the relative humidity in the middle range of around 45 to 60 per cent. That is not a cleaning service, but it explains why the same blackening returns after every winter; we record the finding with photographs so that the parish can pass it on.
Wax on stone is removed cold, not warm
Candle wax is drawn into open-pored limestone and sandstone; heat makes it liquid and drives it deeper, and what remains is a greasy rim that stays visible as a dark patch even once no wax is lying on the surface. The correct approach is: let it harden completely, take it off mechanically with a soft spatula or a piece of wood, draw the remainder out of the stone with an absorbent poultice, and on valuable floors work only with the conservator. Acidic household remedies have no place on lime-bound surfaces: they etch the surface dull, and that spot is afterwards not soiled but altered.
Salt efflorescence is not dirt to be wiped away
In old walls, salts travel to the surface with the moisture and crystallise there as a white, downy layer — commonly called wall saltpetre. Anyone who wipes it off damp dissolves the salts again and drives them back into the render; on the next drying they come out with greater volume and blow the render and the paint off, which is why the well-meant wipe accelerates the damage. The correct approach is to take it off dry, with a soft brush and a vacuum with a fine filter, and to record the finding with a photograph and the location. The cause is moisture in the structure — rising through the floor junction, or from outside through defective roof drainage or joints; for that our partner firm Skyline Bau GmbH is available, and the cleaning runs separately from it.

●. Frequently asked questions about Church Cleaning in Klosterneuburg
What does Church Cleaning cost?
There is no price before the site visit, and a figure given over the phone rarely holds. We look at surfaces, access and time windows, and then the cost framework is set out in writing with a schedule of services. What changes the price: the area, the frequency, the condition at handover and the time of day the work is done. Two rules apply everywhere: a monthly flat rate is only offered for recurring cleaning at least once a week, including stairwells. One-off jobs, first cleans and deep cleans are billed by effort - depending on the service by the hour at a higher rate, by square metre or as a flat price - and travel time there and back counts.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes, free of charge and without obligation. It is the only way to quote seriously, so we treat it as part of the offer, not as a service to be paid for.
Does the same person come every time?
Yes. The team is permanently employed and knows the building, the access arrangements and the routines. Cover is arranged in advance and named, and it works from the building log, not from a verbal handover.
Is your staff properly registered?
All of them, with social insurance. No chain of subcontractors in which nobody is liable at the end. Proof is provided on request.
What insurance is in place?
Public liability of €3m, covering personal injury, property damage and financial loss. The certificate is attached to the quotation.
What happens if something is not right?
It is put right within 48 hours, in writing, at no extra cost. Measured against the schedule of services and a joint inspection, not against an impression.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes — early, late, at weekends or on public holidays. In occupied buildings, daytime cleaning in sections is often the better option, because the client sees the work and can raise anything immediately.
Do I have to provide materials or a room?
Materials and equipment we bring. What helps is a lockable store with a slop sink, space for the trolley and somewhere for pads to dry — damp pads in a closed bag are the most common source of smell in an otherwise clean building.
What notice period applies?
The contract is terminable monthly. There is no minimum term and no automatic extension by the year.
Do you also work in English?
Yes — German, English and five further languages. The briefing gets through, which matters more on site than it sounds.
Which documents do I get?
A schedule of services with frequencies, a dated record of each visit, photo documentation before and after, and a monthly report.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few working days of the quotation being accepted. Short-notice jobs are most readily possible in Vienna, because travel times within a district are short.
