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.
