Window Care Blog

We've all been there — standing at the drugstore staring at a wall of window cleaning products, wondering if this time you'll get the streak-free finish you see on TV. Here's the truth: professional window cleaning isn't just about having fancy equipment. It's about technique, experience, and understanding the science of clean.

The DIY Dilemma:
Most homeowners spend $20-50 on cleaning supplies each time they attempt DIY window cleaning. Add in 2-4 hours of your time, sore arms from reaching and scrubbing, and the frustration of still seeing streaks — and suddenly that "cheap" DIY approach doesn't seem so economical.

What Professionals Know:
Professional window cleaners use techniques refined over years of practice. The angle of the squeegee, the type of water (we use purified water), the cleaning solution formula — all these factors combine to create a truly streak-free finish.

The Real Cost Comparison:
Consider: 4 DIY cleaning sessions per year × $50 supplies × 3 hours time = $200 + 12 hours. Or one professional cleaning at $150-250 that takes 1-2 hours and delivers better results.

Safety Matters:
Ladder accidents send thousands to the ER each year. Multi-story homes pose real risks for DIY cleaning. Our team is trained, insured, and equipped to clean safely at any height.

Our Recommendation:
For most homeowners, professional cleaning 2-4 times per year — combined with light maintenance in between — provides the best value and best results.
