Is there anything better than crystal clear, sparkling windows? Dirty windows ruin the effect of having a well maintained and welcoming home by dulling the light and warmth entering your home from the outside. Cleaning your windows is a big task, which is why most of us hire professional Auckland window cleaning services to get the job done. However, it’s common to feel like it’s a matter of seconds before they become dirty again. Here’s how you can extend the lifespan of a professional clean so you can enjoy clean windows for longer.
- Check The Weather
New Zealand weather can be unpredictable. Make sure to schedule your window clean on a day when it will be dry outside and when no rain is forecast for at least the upcoming week. There’s no point in having them washed if the rain is going to ruin the effect in a matter of minutes. If it frequently rains in your area, you might want to invest in a rain-repellent treatment on the outside of the glass. They’re commonly used on vehicle windshields but work in the same way on windows. The repellent spray will make the rainwater bead up and roll off the glass, leaving fewer streaks behind.
- Forget The Newspaper
For many years, newspaper or paper towels have been used to absorb excess liquid on glass panes. In reality, it disintegrates when it gets wet, making an even bigger mess across the windowpane. If you end up with a small streak or dirt mark on your windows, rather spot clean the area with a microfibre cloth to remove it without creating a bigger smear and creating excess work for your yourself.
- Install Guards
There is such a thing as your windows being too clean. When your windows are so clean they look transparent; it’s not uncommon for birds and moths to collide with them, leaving marks behind. It’s worth your while to invest in an insect or window guard so that insects or birds don’t try to fly into your home. This will also mean you can leave your windows open without worrying about dust, dirt and debris blowing in from the outside.
Implementing these tips will ensure that your windows stay cleaner for longer so that you can extend the periods between your Auckland window cleaning service coming around again. What more could you ask for? For professional window cleaning services, contact Tailored Property Services today.
