Do you need a professional Window Cleaning Service for your Home or Business?
What Do Professional Window Cleaners Use To Clean Windows?
Thinking of cleaning your windows but not sure where to start. Looking to learn how professionals get it done so good and so quickly? What makes their service even better than cleaning for yourself? In this article we will look at some of the most important elements for getting great, clean looking windows for your home or business.
Professional Window Cleaning in Ireland
Let’s begin looking at what makes a window cleaner “professional”. Gone are the days when your local window cleaner turned up late, with a bucket and squeegee and in a tracksuit. Nowadays, homeowners seek trustworthy and reliable service providers to ensure that their home is in good hands. Window cleaning businesses must provide their clients with an optimal service from the beginning. This includes having fully uniformed technicians, continuously trained employees with top of the range equipment and materials.
The equipment and materials used by professional window cleaners lay the foundations of great service. When booking your window cleaning service you should ask the business if they use any of the following.
Start with Clean Pure Water
A fundamental element of professional window cleaning is pure water. Purified water refers to water that is processed to remove all impurities. Micro-materials and minerals, such as sodium and calcium, are impurities that plague regular tap water. Although it is completely safe to drink Irish tap water, it is not sufficient to use for window cleaning. This is because of the residue and long-term damage that tap water can cause on windows. Professional window cleaners will either buy or make their own pure water, it will be transferred via a large water tank in the business vans and transported via telescopic poles.
Extend the reach with a Pole System
Telescopic poles and pump systems are used to power the pure water from the tank through to reach the windows. The poles have brush heads attached to the end that reaches the window and is connected to the water tank in the van through a pump. In the absence of water poles, window cleaners would need to place a ladder on window frames which can lead to damage and are an overall hazard.
The window cleaning poles can reach high story buildings and allow window cleaners to penetrate the dirt from the ground floor. After agitating and cleaning the dirt, we leave the pure water to dry naturally which leaves no marks or streaks. This pole system is a new and innovative approach to window cleaning, it provides minimal damage and optimal results. It removes the health risks associated with ladders.
Always be covered with Insurance
Another important, and sometimes overlooked, element of professional window cleaning is insurance. A professional window cleaning company should always have insurance to protect the client and its employees. Although the reach and wash systems remove the risks associated with ladders, professional window cleaners still require insurance. When you are booking your window cleaning service you should always question if the business is insured.
Professional window cleaning has transformed from the traditional bucket, ladder and squeegee to modern equipment used from the ground floor. As a homeowner you should be looking out for trustworthy, polite and professional, and insured window cleaning businesses. You should ask the company what equipment and materials they use and, if in doubt, you can always check out their Google reviews!
Can You Clean Windows In The Winter Or In Cold Weather?
One of the most frustrating things about winter is that it is the time of year when the exterior of your house can get the dirtiest due to a lack of sun and dry weather. Your windows can also be susceptible to this due to high winds and melting snow dragging dirt and dust onto your windows and the salt can be a nuisance too! Therefore, it is essential that your regular window round is kept on top of all throughout the winter.
Washing outdoor windows can be tough for window cleaners when it is cold outside, however, it is necessary to clean off the winter grime so you can let the sunshine in.
