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 time of year should you clean the outside of your house?

• <div><p>The best time to clean the outside of your house is during your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/outdoor-spring-cleaning-checklist.htm">outdoor spring cleaning</a>. Wait until late spring, after the wave of pollen is done coating your home. You can also wash your house in late fall–before the first freeze–to remove leaves and branches from the gutters.</p></div>

Q: What do professional window cleaners use to clean hard water stains?

The pro will spray the mixture and lightly scrub the window with a scrubby pad before cleaning with a standard cleaning solution. Alternatively, they may use a commercially available hard water stain remover and a scrubby pad, followed by a complete cleaning.</p></div>

Ralph did not clean properly around the windows and he completely missed the soffit under the living room window (ours is a split-entry home). I pointed out the areas in question and he said that he thought he had cleaned them?he had not. I certainly did not get a $340 job!
