How often should I get my windows cleaned?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should get your windows cleaned <b>one to two times</b> annually, although you might want to complete this task more often if you live in an area with heavy pollen or heavy rain or snowfall that soils your windows. It’s also a good idea to hire a professional window cleaning service if you’re listing your property, as sparkling windows will make a big difference in terms of curb appeal and, potentially, your home’s value.</p></div>

What is an alternative to pressure washing?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/soft-wash-better-regular-pressure-washing.htm">Soft washing</a> is an alternative to pressure washing that is more delicate and safe to use on your home’s siding and other delicate areas. Soft washing allows you to effectively clean large areas without the risk of damage using softer pressure and the power of cleaning chemicals. </p></div>

Q: Why is my glass shower door always dirty?

• <div><p>All of the things you use to help you get clean can leave your shower door looking dirty. Water can leave mineral deposits as well as unsightly spots when drops of water dry on the glass. Soap and shampoo can cause build-up and residue that leaves a layer of soap scum in your shower, which then attracts dirt. Mold and mildew can also contribute to dirty shower doors; these fast-growing organisms thrive in areas with poor air circulation, damp conditions, and residue from things like soap and shampoo.</p></div>

Q: What can I use to clean windows without streaking?

• <div><p>One of the best professional cleaning solutions that won&rsquo;t leave streaks is one gallon of distilled or bottled water mixed with 2 to 4 teaspoons of dish soap. Apply using a sponge in a figure-eight motion, and then use a squeegee to remove the majority of the water and soap. You can finish drying with a piece of old black-and-white newspaper to remove any residue for a streak-free clean every time.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for a window cleaner to clean windows?

• <div><p>For a standard 1,000-square-foot home, you should expect your window cleaner to take between 1 and 3 hours to clean all of your windows. Of course, the size of your home and the number and size of the windows you have will play a role in the timeline. Certain styles of windows&mdash;like picture windows, which have no moving parts&mdash;also take less time to clean.</p></div>

The two guys were very fast, efficient and cleaned up all of the mess. There was damage to one window screen, one panel of the patio door and missing part for the door which they are replacing and taking care of it for us. We were very pleased.

Tom arrived to do an estimate when he said he would and he was polite and professional. He made it clear that he might not get to my job for weeks because of a backlog of work. I was fine with that. He didn't give me a specific date when the tree would be cut down. In fact, he just showed up one...
