Hiring Residential Window Cleaning Services

Cleaning windows inside and out is one of the tasks most people dread and can put off doing for as long as possible. Not only is the task of cleaning windows time-consuming and, in a sense, backbreaking, but it is also often one of the most frustrating jobs in maintaining a home. Anyone who has cleaned windows knows how difficult it is to really and truly clean a window, so not only is the window clean, it is free of streaks. Cleaning windows compares to making pie crust in terms of tricks on just how to do it right. In window cleaning, the tricks apply to ways to avoid leaving streaks. Many methods are sworn to by folks cleaning their own windows from using newspapers, paper towels, squeegee, soft, lint-free cloth, hairdryer, or just letting the window air-dry. Some of these ideas work some of the time and sometimes not. You be the judge.

 

The real fact on the best way to clean windows, whenever possible, is to hire a professional residential cleaning service. No matter if you live in Ocala, Florida, or Anchorage, Alaska, a professional, residential window cleaning service is the answer for clean, stress-free, streak-free clean windows. Here are some of the things to look for when hiring professional window cleaners:

·        Do they have a website where you can find out their cleaning method and their attitude toward customers?

·        Are they licensed and bonded?

·        What do their online ratings look like?

·        Do they offer a free estimate? This should include cost and approximate time the job will take to complete.

·        How long have they been in business?

·        Do they have references?

·        Is there a phone number where you can talk with a live person and ask questions?

·        What is their policy regarding guaranteeing their work?

·        Will they bring their own equipment and products needed for the job?

·        What solutions do they use for cleaning?

·        Will they need a hose for the outdoor windows?

·        How do they protect floors and windowsills while cleaning?

·        How is their pricing set up?

·        Do they take checks or credit cards?

 

It is a good idea to pick at least three local window cleaning companies and get answers to the above questions. Get estimates from these companies as well. When you have all the information, you check the list against each company’s answers and make a suitable choice. While this may sound like a lot of work, it is not nearly as much work as doing the windows yourself. And, professional window cleaners know how to make windows shine and be streak-free, something most persons are not too good at.
