- Why do I need to hire a professional to have my
windows cleaned?
Regular professional cleaning prevents your windows from
becoming etched or pitted over time. Professionals clean
without leaving streaks or residue behind and have a trained
eye for faulty windows. Hiring a professional also results
in a time savings for you. We have all the right equipment
to accomplish the job at a much faster pace with amazing
quality.

- Why is professional window cleaning service better
than so called "maid" service?
Many maids use Windex and a paper towel which does
not clean your windows, it rubs the dirt around creating
static charge which attracts the dirt but worst of all it
can scratch the glass. We use professional tools that have
been in the window cleaning industry since 1936. Our
products are biodegradable and leave a pleasant sparkle.

- How often should I have my windows cleaned?
We are pleased to offer a flexible cleaning schedule to
meet your individual needs. For an exterior cleaning our
recommendation is two times per year. We recommend at least
once a year for an interior cleaning unless you smoke in
your home, have small children, or pets. In this case, we
can work with you to maintain highly exposed windows on a
regular basis. The more often you commit to having your windows cleaned, the greater savings we can offer you!

- Why should I have both the interior and exterior
cleaned at the same time?
We strongly recommend doing both the interior and
exterior at the same time to see the full effect of a
perfectly cleaned window. A smear or smudge on the interior
not cleaned by a professional could leave you dissatisfied
with your service. You will be amazed at the difference it
makes!

- Do you bring your own equipment and supplies?

- What if it rains after my windows are cleaned?
Professionally cleaned windows really shouldn't spot if it rains within a few days of the cleaning. Dirt makes your windows dirty, not rain. When the dust from landscapers, tree pollen, exhaust, etc. settles on your windows, rain drops move the dirt around, and after the rain dries the dirt becomes much more visible. However, clean windows remain clean after the rain because once the pure rain water dries there is nothing to obscure your view. In the unlikely event that there are spots or marks left on your windows due to rain within 7 days of our professional cleaning, we will return to re-clean those windows at no charge to you. Think of it as free insurance for your windows!

- What are foggy windows?
A fogged window is the result of a broken seal. Broken
seals can happen in a number of ways such as foundation
settlement or extreme changes in weather. Upon an initial
cleaning, you can expect that we will be checking for any
"foggy windows" and also faulty seals. Should we
find one, these are protected under some warranties and a
prompt repair could save you costly window replacements in
the future.
