Get the Most from your Clean Windows
by Kerry Rigdon on 07/10/15
Clients love how good their windows look when cleaned! It
feels great to have the windows clean and sparkly - everything shines and looks
amazing! Here are some tips to help make the 'clean' last longer:
- Getting a few spots? Don't
clean with spray cleaner or water, just
polish with a dry microfiber cloth. Make sure the cloth
hasn't been treated with fabric softener in the wash, as it will leave a
waxy residue on the window. This is a good way to polish water spots
off of mirrors, as well.
- Try adding our RainX package to your exterior windows your
next service. It is especially helpful for folks who have window
walls that are directly exposed to rain. The RainX causes the
rainwater to bead and roll off the window resulting in fewer spots.
- Clean both the inside and outside
of your windows.
Occasionally we'll have a client unhappy with their exterior only
window service...only to find out that dirty interior windows are the
culprit! Many clients alternate exterior only with inside out
service.
- Consider having your windows
cleaned more often.
Windows that are cleaned often are much easier to clean and keep
clean. Regular cleaning prevents the build-up of dirt and grime that
is more difficult to remove, especially out of the corners.
- Replace windows with broken seals. When seals fail, moisture
can condensate between the panes of glass making a window look 'dirty',
'streaky', or 'foggy'. The condensation/evaporation process will
eventually leave a permanent film between the panes that can't be cleaned.
- Check those sprinkler heads! Make sure that no
sprinklers are either aimed at windows or hitting objects that may cause
spray to get on the window (the spray hits a tree or fence and ricochets
on the window). Ground water will etch windows causing permanent
white spots where the droplets evaporate.
Lastly...if you really enjoy clean windows, you should consider getting on a quarterly cleaning plan. Many companies offer frequency discounts. Rigdon certainly does...and you'll be surprised to find out how affordable it is! Clients who have east or west-facing windows, or who have windows overlooking a view (golf course or water view) really appreciate having clean windows year-round...and you can have them too!
