Winter Window Cleaning



In Toronto, we experienced a nice break from the winter. Temperatures have risen to +10 celcius yesterday, although strong winds and cooler weather is on the way.

I'm surprised how many people feel that it is not necessary to clean windows in the winter. They figure that the windows are most dirty in the summer due to dust. Others feel that it is useless to clean the windows in the winter because they will get dirty the next day.

There are some challenges in cleaning windows in the winter. For instance, there are some days where we can't clean houses, due to snow and ice conditions. We are committed to safe working practices, so when it is unsafe, we reschedule, or delay projects.

However, there are days where houses can be cleaned. Cleaning your house in the winter is a nice treat. Since the sun is so low in the winter, in the afternoon, your windows can look quite dirty. Looking out the windows are not a pleasurable activity when you have to look at dirt. So we can clean those windows, especially those on the first floor where usually there are no safety issues. So while you are enjoying a coffee, or a glass of wine, you will be able to look out your window and enjoy the view. How much better will that make your afternoon.

Stores and Restauraunt owners cannot ignore their windows in the winter. Stores that are close to roads have a particular problem in the winter. The salt that is put on the roads, gets into the air, and becomes a white dust that eventually rests on your windows. Over time that dust can completely cover your window, blocking the view.

Also over salting done on your sidewalk or walkway, can also causes your lower part of the windows and the door to get very dirty.

So don't cut back in the winter. Keep cleaning those windows, in fact, you may need to increase the service to keep the windows clean.

Your first impression has much to do with the state of your windows. You don't want unfavorable impressions of your store to be formed with potential customers.

Contrary to popular opinion, your windows will not get immediately dirty. Professionally cleaned windows can stay clean for some time. So it is worth it, to get them cleaned.

So winter is a messy time for windows, keep them clean. Ask us about keeping your windows, or select windows on your house clean in the winter.

Storeowners, don't cut back in the winter. Those windows need to be kept clean.

Keep in mind, how much you will enjoy looking out, clean, clear windows on those sunny winter afternoons.

I'm glad I work in San Diego, where "winter" isn't too much of an issue!

Its hard to educate the customer on how rain dont make windows dirty, but dirt does. Sometimes there is just nothing you can do to have people get their windows cleaned in the winter.

People are always surprised that we can still clean windows throughout winter. Sure, you have to take a few more precautions, but window cleaning is definitely possible in these cold winter months.
