Window cleaning is an often-overlooked task, but clean windows and window screens go a long way toward improving the overall appearance of a home. Window cleaning can be a dangerous job, especially on a multi-story residence, so many homeowners save themselves the time, hassle, and risk of injury by hiring professional help. In addition to cleaning the windows, an experienced contractor can often clean other interior and exterior elements of the home.
Cleaning Frequency
Most experts recommend that homeowners get their windows professionally cleaned a minimum of twice per year. In northern areas, these cleanings usually take place during the spring and fall when screens and storm windows are exchanged for the seasons. In some areas of Philadelphia, the high mineral content of rainwater may cause stubborn hard water spots on windows; homeowners may wish to contract for additional cleanings to resolve this issue.
