How often do people in the UK want their windows cleaned?
In Cheshire the frequency that our customers get their windows cleaned can vary based on location, weather conditions, levels of dirt, available time and personal preferences, but most homeowners and businesses typically opt for a clean every 4 or 8 weeks. For homes in urban or coastal areas where dirt, pollution, and salt can build up more quickly, 4 weekly or monthly cleaning is the most common. Many people who opt to clean their windows themselves may even do it every week. Whats your prefference?
What happens if you don’t clean your windows?
Neglecting your windows is like ignoring a messy room—eventually, the dirt will pile up and become a big problem! When you let grime, dust, and pollution hang out on your glass, you’re inviting cloudy views that make your home or office look like a scene from a scary movie! As time passes, stains on dirty windows can become permanent features of your home that can lead to costly repairs! Not to be forgotten either, is, that dirty windows are like a five-star hotel for mould and mildew, especially around the seals and frames, putting your window’s integrity (and your health) at risk. And if you think that’s bad, just wait until those seals start to give up on life, leading to leaks and condensation that shorten your windows’ lifespan. So, give your windows a regular scrub-down; it’s the easiest way to keep them sparkling and your space looking fabulous!
Is it worth cleaning windows in the rain?
Yes, it is worth cleaning windows in the rain. Contrary to popular belief, rain itself does not make windows dirty; it’s the dirt and pollutants already present on the glass that get spread around when wet. In fact, cleaning windows during or just before a rainstorm can actually be beneficial because the natural moisture helps rinse away any residual soap or cleaning solution, leaving a streak-free finish. At Pristine Clean we as professional window cleaners use purified water in our reach and wash pole system. This specially purerified water is free of minerals and contaminants, this means that rainwater won’t affect the freshly cleaned windows. So, rather than being a deterrent, rain can actually enhance the window cleaning process, ensuring a longer-lasting clean. So if you see a professional window cleaning out in the rain, they are not out to con you, they can still work just as effectively, they may however be much more appreciative of cup of tea and a biscuit to keep them warm!
Are there any risks of window cleaning?
Washing your own windows might feel like a budget-friendly choice, but there is a need to be careful to avoid the many risks—it’s a slippery slope… yes we know a bad joke! On a serious note if you choose to clean your own windows be careful using your own tools and ladders and working at height. Imagine balancing on a ladder that’s wobbling like a tightrope walker at a circus, while also trying to avoid that a streaky finish that screams, “I did this myself!” Choosing a professional window cleaner can be a safer choice, their professional cleaning tools and equipment ensure a streak free finish that can be reached from the safety of the ground. If ladders or scaffolding is needed the professionals have the training and experience to work safely. DIY window cleaning for sure might save you a few pounds, but hiring a pro will ensure you get a sparkling shine without the risk of a ladder dive or an unexpected repair bill that’ll make your wallet weep!
