Where Have All the Superheros Gone??!!

Ahh, of course! They're window washers now. No, seriously:

"Abseiling, or rappelling, refers to the use of ropes to scale steep slopes and is popularly used amongst rock-climbers. We've adapted the technique for use in the cleaning and maintenance of high-rise and residential buildings,"

Spider Style, a 'Specialist Cleaning Services Entity and Rope Access' facility company recently opened an office in the UAE. With offices based in France and Qatar, Spider Style is not your ordinary large-scale cleaning company. They send a dedicated team of abseiling 'superheroes' to inspect, fix, and clean building facades from the top down and they'll even do it "Spidey" - style by donning Spiderman suits said Mazen Harake, Managing Director of Spider-Style.

In fact, 'Spiderman' was recently seen performing the final cleaning duties on the facade of the new Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach, which is due to open March 8th, 2010 at The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence. Visitors to the area were noticeably amused by the aerial acrobatics of Spider-Style's cleaning technician, who used his 'spider-sense' to abseil with grace along the hotel's exterior while occasionally waving to admiring spectators.

"We believe in finding the passion and fun in everything we do. If we can have Spiderman clean our exterior, then why not? It puts a smile on people's faces," commented Mövenpick General Manager, Peter O'Connor.

Spider-Style's technicians are all highly-trained, highly-skilled and experienced abseilers who are happy to combine their technical proficiencies with their love of abseiling, in order to perform their duties. Their use of safe, non-damaging, rope access systems and advanced technology provides difficult-access solutions for the cleaning, painting, repairing and general maintenance of building facades.

"A big plus for employing Spider-Style's services is our sparing use of machinery - which helps to preserve the integrity of sensitive building facades - yet our approach intensifies surface contact for superior cleaning," added Harake. "We can perform any height-related cleaning and maintenance job done much quicker and with more thoroughness than anyone else."

Keep an eye out, Dubai: Spider-Style's Spider-men can be seen 'coming to the rescue' at a variety of venues near you.
