Your Windows Called and Said They Need Your Attention!

Unfortunately, windows have the inability to cry out in pain when they become overburdened with dirt and grime. However, they do emit certain signs that alert their homeowner that a window cleaning is much overdue. The following are some tell-tale signs that your windows are in dire need of a window washing service:
  1. Your windows look like they have been cob-webbed by a friendly spider family, and not in a charming way.
  2. You can barely see what's happening on the other side of your window due to years of accumulated grime.
  3. The birds are singing again, but you can only hear their echo from inside the house.
  4. You no longer recognize the view outside your window - who switched it with that of another building?
  5. Your windows have been behaving like a mirror - even during the day!
  6. When was the last time you saw actual sunlight streaming through your window?
  7. You're constantly sneezing due to all the dust particles that have been collecting on your window panes.
  8. You've lost count of how many times you've used a cloth to clean the windows, only for them to be dirtied again moments later!
  9. When it rains, it looks like someone had just dumped a bucket of mud on your window sills.
  10. You're considering installing aluminum shutters for privacy and protection from the elements - or have you already done so?
If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to get your windows cleaned! After all, a little maintenance can make a world of difference when it comes to how your home looks and feels. Plus, you'll reap the benefits of natural light once again. Get ready for a brand new view, and let's talk about window washing!

Apply the answer to your windows in a top-to-bottom motion, ensuring you reach every nook and cranny of those dirty windows! Once you've wiped down the windows, grab your squeegee and begin working in sections. Start at one corner of the window and use long, even strokes as you move across each pane. When you reach the other side, use a paper towel or soft cloth to wipe up any excess liquid and streaks off the glass. Finally, finish up by thoroughly drying off all of the window frames. This final touch will help prevent any water spots or streaks from forming. Following these simple steps, you can complete your window cleaning project without signs of streaks! So grab your supplies and get to work! You'll be amazed at how fresh and clean your windows look.
