Windows should be crystal clear for many reasons, just as any another part of your home clean windows are essential. With clear and clean windows your home’s curb appeal will get a boost, costumers will be tempted to enter a business, and when routinely performed will save money.

Windows start to look dirty for many reasons. Water from sprinklers contain minerals that overtime buildup and cause windows to develop a dirty film. Small particulates are contained in rain water that also to windows looking unclean. Some additional causes leading to windows looking unclean are: painting residue, chalking, and mortar. People that live close to the coast will also notice sea spray on their windows.

Whenever someone searches for a new house they often drive by and check out the house, if the home has dirty windows they will most likely keep driving to the next home. When selling a house, window clarity is sometimes over looked, when it is actually very important. Windows allow a person to look through into the interior of a home, they make a very important first impression for potential buyers. Making a good first impression is essential while attempting to sell a home. John Aust, president of the National Association of Real Estate Appraisers states, “a good first appearance on a home can add as much as 5 to 10 percent to the value of the home.” Having clean windows are the first steps to selling a home.

For people that are already living in their dream home consider the impression unclean windows could give your guests. When friends come over to enjoy a nice evening, they notice windows that are covered in grime, dirt, and mildew, so they consider what else in the residence is also dirty. Instead of enjoying a nice evening they head out early. Having clean windows could have lead to friends staying longer and everyone having a good time.

For business owners having clean windows is vital to operation a successful business that remains prosperous. Clean windows invite customers to come inside and have a look around. When windows are dirty a customer can not see inside to see what the store has to offer. Small spots on a window are enough to distort the view of a potential customer and could block them from seeing important details.

Glass contains small pores and without proper cleaning they will become damaged which could be very expensive to repair. Windows are not cheap to purchase or install, especially when they are storm windows or energy efficient windows, and need to be taken care of properly. Without consistent cleanings, hard water and minerals over time will infuse glass and result in substantial damage. The only solution in this case would be a re-installation or glass restoration.

If your a home or business owner having clean and grime free windows is very important. A home that has clean windows will be more inviting to others and while allow home owners to make a good first impression, they will also increase the overall property value while spending minimal amounts of money. Business owner will receive more customers and will see their profit margins increase when they windows are clear of dirt. So get those windows cleaned often.

here’s another project we finished up on Bald Peak this past week. The waterfed pole system made short work of 5 years of window crud. I am still amazed after two years of using this setup how much better it cleans over traditional window cleaning.
