FAQs about Residential Window Cleaning
Q: How many times a year should we have our home's windows cleaned?
A: The International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA) recommends having
windows cleaned twice a year by a professional window cleaner to conform
to the standards of the industry. Spring and fall are the seasons of choice.
Q: Our new home is being built right now. When should we schedule having
the windows cleaned?
A: We suggest that you wait until the builder completes all construction
before you have your home's windows cleaned. Another tip: Don't install
the window screens until you can be sure they are safe from dirt, mud
and other construction debris that could ruin your screens.
Q: Larry, you cleaned our screens last fall, and we really noticed the
improvement when we installed them this summer. What's your secret?
A: Soap, water and ammonia. That's the mixture we use, and it rinses out easily.
Q: We moved here from New York City and noticed right away that the water
leaves spots. Why is that?
A: In some parts of northern Virginia, the water is very hard.
Hard water spots leave mineral residues behind. Professionals use
industry-approved cleaning supplies to remove stubborn hard water spots.
We are careful not to use hydrofluoric acid, commonly found in solvents
and rust removers.
Q: Some window cleaners offer a free estimate over the phone.
Why do you do your estimate in person?
A: Our free estimates are different because when I'm on location
inspecting your windows, you can ask questions and get professional
answers about how much the cleaning will cost and why.
This helps reduce those nasty surprises that may come later with
over-the-phone estimates.
