Q: What are the benefits of professional window cleaning over DIY?

• <div><p>Saves time, increases window longevity, and improves home aesthetics with comprehensive cleaning.</p></div>

Q: How often do you really need to clean your house?

• <div><p>Clean high-traffic areas such as kitchen surfaces, bathroom surfaces, and bedding once per week. Deep clean other areas every three months to a year. How you use a space can help you figure out how often it should be cleaned, with areas where eating, bathing, and food prep occur getting the most frequent attention.</p></div>

Q: What prevents water spots on glass shower doors?

• <div><p>You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.</p></div>

Q: How long does commercial window cleaning take?

• <div><p>Most jobs take 2-8 hours, depending on the number of windows, height, and difficulty of access.</p></div>
