5 Window Cleaning Myths

What homeowner doesn’t take pride in maintaining a beautiful home?

We all know that having a freshly painted exterior stucco, new roof and well-landscaped property all contribute to your home’s appearance, but ensuring that your windows are sparkling clean is also a very important part of maintaining your home’s curb appeal.

That said, many homeowners still have some misperceptions about the window cleaning process. These can result in a less-than-desirable outcome when it comes to cleaning your home’s windows.

So, without further ado, here are 5 common window cleaning myths.

Myth #1 – Cleaning Windows is So Easy, You Can Do it Yourself

Trust me when I say, that nothing could be further from the truth. Cleaning windows correctly, is no easy task. It is not only time consuming, but requires a great deal of experience, skill and training, along with the proper equipment. When not performed by a seasoned, window cleaning professional, your windows will likely end up with streaking, a cloudy film or look even worse than before you attempted to clean them yourself. That means you’ll end up paying a professional to do the job anyway, on top of the time and effort wasted by you.

And depending on how many windows need to be cleaned, it could take an untrained layperson, a few days to finish the job. Most homeowners have better things to do with their time.

That’s why hiring ClearPro is your best bet. Our experienced and well-trained technicians have the skills, knowledge and tools to get the job done right.

Myth #2 – The Rain Will Clean Your Windows

In general, rainwater has minerals and contaminants that can be left behind, simply making it unsuitable for cleaning windows.

Myth #3 – Using Newspaper is a Great Way to Clean Your Windows

Aye Ye Ye, Caramba! Talk about a myth! Back in the day, we’re talking the 20th Century, the average person would use newspaper, vinegar and water, to clean their windows.

However, in the modern age of the 21st Century, no self-respecting window cleaning professional would dare use that archaic technique. Why? That is because newspaper fiber can leave streaking and the ink used in newspapers can leave residue on the glass.

Myth #4 – Windows Don’t Need to be Cleaned on a Regular Basis

Some homeowners are under the false impression that their windows don’t need to be regularly cleaned or very often.

If you take pride in your home’s appearance, maintaining it requires ongoing window cleaning service to remove accumulated dirt, debris, pollen and other contaminants, that can not only keep your home looking its best, but extend your windows’ lifespan.

Myth #5 – All Professional Window Cleaning Services Are the Same
