There are a few questions that we get asked often.
There are also a few questions you should be asking anyone
you are considering for in-home services such as we offer.
Below are a few that might have occurred to you.
If you have any other questions, feel free to call!
 |
Why does window cleaning need to
be performed? |
| |
Not
only will it enhance the appearance of your house,
but your windows will get the protection they need.
We use a super concentrated solution found at window
supply houses. This solution cuts through the dirt
and grime, and also acts as a barrier against minerals
and chemicals found in rainwater and sprinkler systems. |
| |
|
|
How often do my windows need cleaning? |
| |
We
recommend at the very least once per year. Many of
our customers get it done twice per year. By having
a professional wash your windows on a regular basis,
he/she can remove bugs, pollen, dirt, give your home
a nice year-round luster, and protect against hard
water stains. If your glass is not cleaned regularly,
severe hard water stains can occur over time. This
is due to minerals like calcium and iron from water
getting in the pores of the glass. Once this happens,
no amount of scrubbing, scraping, etc. will remove
it. |
| |
|
|
What materials are used in the process? |
| |
We
use a soft strip washer for scrubbing and wetting
windows, a scraper (brand new blade for each job-no
scratching), a piece of fine steel wool, a super
concentrated window cleaning solution called "Glisten",
a variety of different size squeegees with new rubbers
in them, and dry lint free towels to wipe squeegee
between strokes, and to wipe excess water around
pane. |
| |
|
|
What should the result be? |
| |
Windows
and doors will be streak free, shiny, and very clear
(you won't get that result with Windex and paper
towels). Note: we recommend putting small decorative
stickers on sliding glass doors so you know whether
they are closed or open. |
| |
|
|
What do I need to do prior to window cleaner arrival? |
| |
If
there is something blocking windows in garage or
if you have items on window sills, you could move
those, but other than that, we will move all furniture
if we need to. When we leave, everything will be
put back where we found it. You won't even know we've
been there, except now you have clean glass. |
| |
|
|
Other things you need to know: |
| |
Another
consideration when selecting a window cleaner. Don't
use any window washer who is not properly insured.
Our liability insurance protects you, the homeowner.
We will provide you with our insurance company's
name and policy number upon request. |
