Dirty, hazy windows block natural light.

 Cleaning your windows brings several benefits to your home. Clean windows allow more natural light to enter, making your rooms feel brighter and more inviting. Natural light can also improve your mood and energy levels. Clean windows contribute significantly to a home's overall appearance from the outside and make your house look well-maintained. Grimy windows obstruct your view of the outside world so regular cleaning ensures you can enjoy the scenery outside. Dirt and debris buildup can degrade windows over time, causing scratches and etching. Cleaning removes these particles and helps extend the lifespan of your windows. Dust and allergens accumulate on dirty windows. Cleaning helps remove these irritants. For these reasons, incorporating window cleaning into your regular home maintenance routine can significantly benefit your living environment.

Cleaning high windows yourself can be dangerous.

So, knowing why clean windows are important to your home, why have them professionally cleaned instead of hauling out a ladder to do them yourself? Cleaning high windows can be dangerous, especially if you don't have the proper equipment or experience. ServiceMaster has years of experience cleaning windows and has the necessary tools to safely reach all your windows. Professional window cleaners, like ServiceMaster of Gwinnett and ServiceMaster 5 Points, have the experience and cleaning solutions to get your windows sparkling clean, without streaks or hazes. They also know how to clean different types of windows and frames safely. Professionals can clean your windows much faster than you can do it yourself, which frees up your time for other things. Proper cleaning techniques and solutions can help to extend the life of your windows by preventing dirt and grime buildup from damaging the glass. During the cleaning process, professionals may spot potential problems with your windows, such as broken seals, cracks, or rotting frames. Addressing these issues early can save you money in the long run. Overall, hiring a professional window cleaner can be a wise investment in the safety, appearance, and longevity of your windows.

Before ServiceMaster arrives to clean your windows, we ask that you clear the space around the windows to provide enough space to maneuver around the windows and clean them thoroughly. Move any furniture or plants that might be in the way. Remove any knick-knacks or decorative items from your windowsills. Open your blinds or draw back your curtains so they do not block access to the windows. If there are any obstacles outside your windows, like thorny bushes or a beehive, let the window cleaning technician know beforehand so he can take precautions. If you have pets, please be sure they are safely restricted to an area away from the windows to be cleaned to avoid upsetting the pets, or having one get loose while the technician is going in and out of the home. If you do want your window screens cleaned, be ready to point them out to the technician so he can be prepared to clean them while working on cleaning those windows. Please remove and set aside the window screens for all the windows being cleaned on the outside if you do not want to have screens cleaned as well.

To optimize your window cleaning, ServiceMaster starts with the outside windows first and then the inside. On the outside, we clean the glass and window frame using a wash method. The entire window is scrubbed down and washed for spot free results. Moving indoors, all windows are sprayed, scrubbed, and then squeegeed to provide a streak-free finish. Any residual moisture on the glass or edges of the frames is removed using lint-free microfiber cloths. These cleaning methods remove dirt, dust, grime, algae, mold, your pet’s nose art and your children’s handprints-- brightening the appearance of your home.

Harsh cleaners and paper towels are not recommended to maintain the shine on your newly cleaned windows.

Even after a ServiceMaster window cleaning, windows will get dusty and grimy over time. To maintain your window’s sparkling shine between cleanings, wipe down your windowsills and frames during your regular household cleaning routine. A microfiber cloth can pick up dust effectively without leaving lint behind. Window screens block dirt and debris from entering your home, but they can also trap those elements against the glass. Take them down occasionally and give them a thorough cleaning to prevent dust from transferring to the windows. Vacuum them or hose them down outside. You can, of course, request to have the screens cleaned by the ServiceMaster technician as an additional service while he is cleaning your windows. When cleaning your windows between ServiceMaster cleanings, avoid abrasive cloths or paper towels that can scratch the glass. Microfiber cloths are gentler and are also less likely to leave streaks on the windows. Skip harsh chemicals and opt for a simple water and vinegar solution or eco-friendly option to avoid a buildup of residue on your windows.

When choosing your window cleaner, remember that ServiceMaster of Gwinnett and ServiceMaster 5 Points have been offering cleaning services for over 30 years. The technicians will be selective about what they use on your windows and frames and how they do it. This ensures you get the best window cleaning possible. Since customer service is our top priority, our technician will take the time to explain what he is doing and answer any questions you may have. A little extra spent on the best cleaning now will save money in the long run because your windows will look better and last longer.
