IDAHO FALLS - The stained glass window in the rotunda of the Bonneville County Courthouse is clean for the first time in decades.
The county hired Willet Hauser Architectural Glass Studio in Winona, Minnesota for the two-day task. Project Manager Jonathan Cope and his team were there Wednesday and Thursday cleaning the largest stained glass window for a courthouse in the state of Idaho.
In an interview with EastIdahoNews.com, Cope explained what it takes to clean the 24-foot by 24-foot enclosed skylight.
"With this particular window, we weren't sure what it was going to take to get it clean because there was a lot of debris and gunk from the decades that it's been here. We started getting all the dirt off by vacuuming," Cope says. "We vacuum in a swirling motion to make sure we get as much dirt and debris off as possible before we start our cleaning process."
Using chemical cleaners wasn't an option because it would've had a damaging effect on the lead paint. Instead, they used a spray bottle with water and Dawn dish soap. Cope sprayed each individual tile, scrubbed the corners and crevices with a brush and then washed it with a micro-fiber towel.
County commissioners invited EastIdahoNews.com up on the roof to see the crew in action. Watch it in the video above.
