Many homeowners want to know whether or not they should clean their windows themselves or hire a professional service to do it. Homeowners can feel confident in reaching the ground floor windows, but not the living room or second floor windows. At that point people wonder if it just makes more sense to hire a professional to get the entire house.
This post reveals to you why its is better to hire a professional.
Cleaning is time consuming
Lets say a home has thirty-six windows. That is a lot of windows to clean! If each window takes three minutes to clean you are looking at a minimum of one hour and forty-eight minutes of dedicated cleaning time.
That’s almost two whole hours of work! And its only for the outside! If you wanted to get both sides, it might take you twice as long or more!
Now lets say after you are done for the day you notice the next day that there were some areas you missed or didn’t get very well. Now if you want to clean those windows, you’d have to start the process all over again!
So your almost two hour chore just took up more time.
When you are cleaning windows you don’t always realize that you are not spending 100% of your time cleaning windows. You are also moving items around.
To reach windows high up you have to jump on a ladder. But if you have furniture or plants in the way you have to move those as well.
Not to mention if you are using a spray and paper towel, you will have to come back down and reapply your spray to wet down a new towel.
All of these actions take up a lot more time than you bargained for.
Cleaning Requires Tools
If you want to get a job done right, you have to have the right tools. A half acceptable job will only get you half acceptable results.
The following items are things that homeowners typically have, but won’t help you get the results you deserve:
- step ladder
- window cleaning solution
- paper towels
- tall ladder
While these tools might be available there is a downside to using them: You will need to store them. The paper towels and window cleaning solution would be easy to store. However the ladders are another story.
Ladders can be difficult to store. Not to mention unless you find yourself making many home improvements or saving cats from trees constantly, most homeowners won’t get a lot of value from owning a ladder.
Some Places are Difficult to Reach
Second story windows and living room windows are high up. This height is what makes them so difficult to clean. To get around this, some people resort to using ladders.
Ladders are dangerous to use. Even experienced workers who use ladders every day are weary of them.
They can tip over at any moment. You can even lose your footing and in a split second find yourself on the ground with a broken collar bone.
