Professional window cleaning, like most businesses

So first of all, it is imperative that a professional window cleaning company makes a client comfortable and that the person who is going to do the work is professional in appearance; has a good attitude and/or demeanor; and is conscientious and respectful of being in someone else's most personal of spaces. Without trust and comfort the job will most likely be an unpleasant experience for the client. The second essential ingredient is obviously quality workmanship. A window washing service must be trusted to do the best job possible on each and every job. A good window cleaning company not only cleans the glass, but also wipes down the frames and window sills. The sliding glass door tracks are vacuumed and wiped cleaned. Any dirt, debris, footprints or water spots on the floor are vacuumed up or wiped away. Plus, all screens are cleaned and reinstalled to complete the cleaning process. Finally, all furniture which was moved to do the window cleaning is returned to its original spot, and everything is left as if no one had ever been there - except that the windows are now extremely clean! Fair prices and being on time should not have to be mentioned, but it is amazing to hear some of the stories from people who have experienced the worst of both. If you want to do your own windows, here are a few do-it-yourself 'green' window cleaning tips: -You can use green products to effectively clean your windows without any harsh chemicals. -If you have window blinds that need to be cleaned and they are only dusty, here is a suggestion: Wear a pair of socks or soft cotton gloves to wipe the slats between your fingers, or use the soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner. -If your blinds are really dirty, soak them in the bathtub with a little dish washing soap for about 30 minutes. Open the blinds so the slats don't stick together and be sure to line the tub with a towel to prevent scratching the finish of the tub. Rinse the blinds thoroughly and hang them outside to dry. Finally, after rehanging the blinds, wipe with a sheet of fabric softener to make them resistant to dust. -To clean your windows yourself, fill a new spray bottle with a 50/50 water and white vinegar mix and spray the glass with it. Wipe clean with a rag or newspaper. Your grandmother's trick of using newspaper to clean windows really works because newspaper does not leave any residue. Another option for a lint free window is to use a squeegee to remove the mix and wipe the glass where it meets the frame with your finger in a dry rag. -To clean mold or mildew from window sills, mix a cup of baking soda with enough water to make a thick paste. Cover the sill with it and let stand for 20 minutes. Wipe clean and rinse with vinegar/water mix to remove residue and disinfect the window sill.
