“Spider-Man, Spider-Man, creates a streak-free shine wherever he goes.”
For some reason, this song just isn’t as catchy as the actual Spider-Man theme. But if you happen to live in France, Qatar or the UAE, you could be singing this tune as Spider-Man actually uses his Spidey Sense to detect and eradicate bird droppings and smudges that are threatening to blur your vision from high-rise building windows.
“We believe in finding the passion and fun in everything we do. If we can have Spider-Man clean our exterior, then why not? It puts a smile on people’s faces,” commented Peter O’Connor, a happy customer who manages the Mövenpick Hotel.
Spider Style, the company that offers the service, claims that their rope-based cleaning system allows older, more delicate buildings to be cleaned easier, faster and with less damage than the standard machine-based window cleaning systems.
The fact that superheroes are doing the washing is only an added bonus.

I don’t remember Spider-Man ever washing windows, but I do remember three of the original X-Men trying to get construction jobs. They did a good job in the demonstration, and would have been hired, except that they weren’t with the union.

I wonder what parent company Disney has to say about this. Remember when they made a daycare repaint their walls?

Reminds me of an old screensaver I had for my Mac back in the 90′s… Bill Gates Does Windows…. Splotches would appear on your screen and then a Bill Gates lookalike would be lowered down on a little rope lift with and proceed to clean your window..
