“Having your windows professionally cleaned through regular maintenance will not only give your windows longer life but also a cleaner, more enjoyable view.” Russ Rupert, Owner of Clearview Window Washing Service.
Windows represent one of the largest investments in a home, and like other assets they require care and protection. Compare the cost of replacing your windows with siding, a roof, flooring or heating and air conditioning, and you discover pretty quickly, windows could be the most expensive component in your home. “People are amazed by the view they have been missing after having their windows professionally cleaned,” says Rupert. “Most people do not realize that clean windows also provide heat efficiency.”
THE ELEMENTS: NOT OUR FRIENDS
Windows have a weakness — glass is porous and subject to absorbing impurities and degradation. Glass will, over time, become permeated with a variety of contaminants. Hard water, acid rain, airborne pollutants, water from sprinkler systems, chemical over spray and oxidation from frames, siding, or roofs all can be absorbed by glass, causing staining, clouding, streaking, and general poor appearance. People will pay to have their homes cleaned weekly, change the oil in their car regularly, but do not maintain their windows in such a way to protect their longevity. The only way to protect the longevity of your windows is to keep them clean and protect them against the elements. Let them go too long without adequate cleaning and the damage may be irreversible or restoration will be needed. People take it for granted; however, window cleaning is a skilled trade.
Too often, homeowners expect over the counter cleaners or homemade remedies to do the job, but it won’t clean and protect the way professional grade solutions and techniques will. Hard water elements stay embedded, stains remain, impurities from oxidation and runoff from surrounding fixtures can begin degrading glass.
There are multiple reasons to use a professional window cleaner:
■ Professional grade solutions & equipment clean windows more thoroughly
■ Professional cleaners have the equipment to do the job right and access hard to reach areas
■ Safety for the homeowner — no climbing and reaching
■ Saves the homeowner time
■ After washed, windows are protected from the elements
■ Homeowners will save money in the long-term with regularly scheduled maintenance
