What do professional window cleaners use to clean windows?

You may be wondering what do professional window cleaners use to clean windows? Window cleaning has come a long way over the past decade alone. With the advancements in cleaning technology and window manufacturing, window cleaners needed to change their approach and processes. Let's begin looking at what makes a window cleaner “professional”. Gone are the days when your local window cleaner turned up late, with a bucket and squeegee and in a tracksuit. Nowadays, homeowners seek trustworthy and reliable service providers to ensure that their home is in good hands. Window cleaning businesses must provide their clients with an optimal service from the beginning. This includes having strong brands, fully uniformed technicians, continuously trained employees with top of the range equipment and materials. The equipment and materials used by professional window cleaners lay the foundations of great service. When booking your window cleaning service you should ask the business if they use any of the following, PURE WATER

A fundamental element of professional window cleaning is pure water. Purified water refers to water that is processed to remove all impurities. Micro-materials and minerals, such as sodium and calcium, are impurities that plague regular tap water. Although it is completely safe to drink Irish tap water, it is not sufficient to use for window cleaning. This is because of the residue and long-term damage that tap water can cause on windows. Professional window cleaners will either buy or make their own pure water, it will be transferred via a large water tank in the business vans and transported via telescopic poles. Here at TheCleaningCompany.ie, this is the basic outline of our ‘Reach and Wash system’. REACH AND WASH SYSTEM

Telescopic poles and pump systems are used to power the pure water from the tank through to reach the windows. The poles have brush heads attached to the end that reaches the window and is connected to the water tank in the van through a pump. In the absence of water poles, window cleaners would need to place a ladder on window frames which can lead to damage and are an overall hazard. The window cleaning poles can reach high story buildings and allow window cleaners to penetrate the dirt from the ground floor. After agitating and cleaning the dirt, we leave the pure water to dry naturally which leaves no marks or streaks. The Reach and Wash system is a new and innovative approach to window cleaning, it provides minimal damage and optimal results. It removes the health risks associated with ladders.

INSURANCE Another important, and sometimes overlooked, element of professional window cleaning is insurance. A professional window cleaning company should always have insurance to protect the client and its employees. Although the reach and wash systems remove the risks associated with ladders, professional window cleaners still require insurance. When you are booking your window cleaning service you should always question if the business is insured. Professional window cleaning has transformed from the traditional bucket, ladder and squeegee to modern equipment used from the ground floor. To summarise, as a homeowner you should be looking out for trustworthy, polite and professional, and insured window cleaning businesses. You should ask the company what equipment and materials they use and, if in doubt, you can always check out their Google reviews! Google reviews provide clients with first-hand feedback from preexisting clients. Here at TheCleaningCompany.ie with our strong brand, trustworthiness, modern equipment and materials, we hold a 5-star rating from over 300 clients.

How often should you have your gutters cleaned?

How often should you have your gutters cleaned?

It is difficult to know how often to have your gutters cleaned as it is commonly overlooked by homeowners. This is understandable considering the average person doesn’t have the ability or equipment to see inside gutters. However, maintaining clean gutters betters your home. Gutter cleaning provides benefits ranging from reducing the risk of water damage to saving money in the long run. Generally, homeowners don’t know when to have their gutters cleaned but that’s what we are here for!

When is the right time to have gutter cleaning in Dublin?

Houses in Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow and Meath should, at the very least, have their gutters cleaned once a year. Sometimes twice a year is necessary as a number of elements such as foliage surrounding your home and the structural composition of the gutters themselves can affect how long you get from your gutter clean. Similarly, fascias and soffits (these are the exterior parts of the gutters that we can see) should be cleaned at least once or twice a year to avoid discolouration.

What will happen if I don’t get my gutters cleaned?

Commonly, we receive calls after homeowners see that their gutter is blocked with water spilling over the edge. This is directly caused from blockages in your gutters. This is avoidable with regular gutter cleans. Although the price of gutter cleaning in Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare and Meath doesn’t vary if your gutter is blocked or not, if you let your gutters build up and block, it is likely that you will incur additional costs that are avoidable.

Examples of some additional costs include

Deterioration and/or damage to existing features such as paint, walls, windows, window frames, cars etc. Water and debris damage directly caused by blocked gutters can result in damage that requires expensive repairs and replacements.

Structural damage to the gutters occur when they are not cleaned because the build-up in the gutters force the components of the gutters, such as seals, to become ineffective. This can result in the need for a new gutter or a gutter assessment from a roofer.

Blocked gutters can cause damage to the surface of your roof. Water can spill over the edge of gutters from the build-up of debris or the gutters themselves may leak. As a result, water damage in the roof increases the risk of rotting which can travel to other areas in the house. The roof itself may need replacing while the structural integrity of the house itself could possibly be at risk.

Potential costs that may occur when you don’t clean your gutters may go beyond financial costs as blocked gutters can put people at risk. For example, the spill over of water can lead to individuals slipping.

You must ensure your gutters are cleaned at least once a year in order to reduce the risk of the above threats. If you have your gutters cleaned regularly you can avoid any other stress or costs of blocked gutters.

Can you clean gutters yourself?

In theory, you can clean gutters yourself, however, it can be a tedious process. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is absolutely needed considering the potential dust, debris and pests that may exist in gutters. Such PPE include industrial gloves, masks and protective overalls. A ladder is needed to reach the gutters which is dangerous, requires an experienced ladder user and the costs of buying and or renting a ladder in Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare and Meath can be high. See our feature in the Irish Times newspaper based on our Gutter cleaning service!

Accessing the gutters from the rooftop should be avoided due to the extremely high risk of slipping. Furthermore, a bucket is needed to place the rubbish from the gutter into and this will require multiple trips up and down the ladder to empty the bucket. Be aware not to damage your gutter at each point!

Can you clean windows in the rain?

When is the time?

You have probably heard that there is no point getting a window cleaning Dublin service when it’s raining or rain is forecast, that it’s a waste of time, will make no difference and a counterproductive effort!? This claim is most likely ingrained into your head by now.

But what if you live in a county like Dublin, Kildare, Meath or Wicklow (or anywhere in Ireland) where it seems to rain more often than not?

Many people struggle to figure out exactly when to have their windows cleaned. Some decide to cancel their window cleaner if rain is forecast or wait until a season like Spring or Summer where the weather is generally drier (although who knows in Ireland).

So, can you clean windows in the rain?

Let’s answer this question, once and for all: Yes, you can most definitely clean windows in the rain. The claim that rain makes your windows dirty is a MYTH! Furthermore, you should never delay your windows being cleaned due to rain. The simple fact is, dirt makes your windows dirty, not rain. The only reason your windows appear to be dirtier after rainfall is because the window was dirty to begin with and the rain has clung onto the dirt, dust, pollen and muck and stuck to the window. This can also happen if the frame has not been cleaned as the rain will wash the dirt from the frame onto the window pane. If the window and frame are both clean, the rain will not cling to the glass and simply roll off the window, leaving the glass clean. This is due to rain water being much, much purer than tap water. Avoiding having your windows cleaned in rainy and wet weather will instead, in the long-term, cause irreparable damage due to water and mineral-stain build up on the glass. As glass is porous, any matter left on the glass longish term will penetrate the fabric and become an integral part of the glass. Most stains will clean off if you get to them reasonably quickly, however, if left to weather, then removal may no longer be an option and glass replacement is the only solution. If dirt is left on a window frame, it can also cause discolouration. We see examples of both glass and frame damage due to lack of cleaning every day in Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. Keeping a regular frequency of window cleaning in place, rain or shine, will ensure that your windows remain in perfect condition for as long as possible. We at TheCleaningCompany.ie will take care of dirt, streaks and watermarks, rain or no rain. In fact, we are so confident of this fact that we guarantee a return visit to touch-up your windows if you notice that there is anything that needs fixing, once it stops raining.

Can you clean windows in the winter or in cold weather?

One of the most frustrating things about winter is that it is the time of year when the exterior of your house can get the dirtiest due to a lack of sun and dry weather. Your windows can also be susceptible to this due to high winds and melting snow dragging dirt and dust onto your windows and the salt can be a nuisance too! Therefore, it is essential that your regular window round is kept on top of all throughout the winter.

Washing outdoor windows can be tough for window cleaners when it is cold outside (the cups of tea we are given throughout the day help us along), however, it is necessary to clean off the winter grime so you can let the sunshine in.

Can you clean windows in the sun?

You will find lots of websites telling you not to clean your windows in the sun, however, they are referring to cleaning windows the old-fashioned/traditional method with a bucket and cloth. If you’re using this soapy water method, those websites would be right as you need to move very quickly so the soap doesn’t dry before you have a chance to rub it off. Fortunately, TheCleaningCompany.ie uses a Reach and Wash system with completely pure water from our own spring-water treatment plant in the Dublin Mountains. This means that we can purposely leave water on the glass to be dried out by the sun as the water has no contaminants left in it to leave marks. So, the sun doesn’t affect us at all with our state-of-the-art equipment. Thankfully for the customer, the sun beaming in the window will show the dirt better and whether their window cleaners did a good job (or not!).

What’s the best weather to clean your windows in?

The honest answer is, there is no best weather! All weather types bring different challenges but we are experienced professionals who can overcome them all.

So, the next time you see a few dark clouds on the horizon or the forecast seems to show nothing but lashings of rain, don’t cancel your window cleaning service! The most important thing to keep in mind is: the only way to keep your windows looking as close to perfect as possible, is to have them regularly cleaned by a professional company. TheCleaningCompany.ie offer annual maintenance programs and a regular round of window cleaning every 6, 8, 12, 16, 26 or 52 weeks, depending on client preference.

The Cost of Window Cleaning in Dublin

What is the cost of window cleaning in Dublin? 

The cost of window cleaning in Dublin may vary from property to property. Windows in Dublin are particularly exposed to the elements of weather. You may not know this, but, glass is porous. Therefore, any matter left on the glass for a long period of time will penetrate the surface of the glass and become an integral part of the glass. If you get to it reasonably quickly, before it has a chance of bonding, then a good clean will normally shift it, however, if it is left to weather (like a lot of half built houses now) then removal is no longer an option and glass replacement is the only solution.Window cleaning in Dublin must be an essential component of the maintenance of your house and, so, must be included in your house maintenance budget. 

How much does it cost to get your windows cleaned in Dublin? 

A large range of factors are considered in the overall pricing of window cleaning such as how many windows the property has, if you are looking for both exterior and interior window cleaning and if you are looking for a well-respected and trusted company or not. Here are some factors you should consider in Dublin

The quality of work you are looking forLike all services, price and quality are correlated. 

If you’re looking for a high standard and professional window clean from a well trusted company, it is likely you will pay more than the local window cleaner with a squeegee and ladder. The variety of window cleaning prices in Dublin tend to reflect the products used, the equipment needed and the precision of their technicians. Up-to-date equipment and a skilled team ensures that the upmost professional window clean is provided while protecting your windows, frames and house. A rule of thumb when it comes to window cleans – the higher the quality, the longer you will get out of your service. So, in the long term, if you want to maintain your home and keep it looking as clean as you deserve, then paying for a higher quality service will save you time, money and stress. Another element that is incorporated into price is insurance. You should always ask if your window cleaning service is fully insured.

If you are not home during working hoursLet’s be honest, when booking a window cleaning service, it can be a hassle to arrange a time and date that suits both you and the service provider. If you are constantly in and out of the house, you should consider paying for a window cleaning service in Dublin that is trustworthy, reliable and respected. Window cleaning companies are constantly attending regular client houses when the house owner is not home but this is only possible when the client fully trusts the company. Don’t be afraid to ask the company any questions, search their online reviews and chat to their regular clients about their trustworthiness.

Do you want a once off or a regular clean?

The majority of professional window cleaning companies value their clients and reward their recurring regular clients by creating a ‘regular client price plan’.  So, when you are searching for the right window cleaner for you, ask them if they offer a price for regular clients. If the company does not value their clients, this is a red flag and not only costs you more money but this also raises concerns about their client values.Why choose The Cleaning Company.ie?Our team are highly trained and qualified employees that provide superb window cleaning services and are trustworthy, friendly guys. Our employees are the face of our company and are chosen very carefully. Each employee is vetted and assessed by our team and live locally!

Tested-and-tried equipment

We use the newest range of equipment that includes water fed poles which removes the need for ladders on the job. Water fed window cleaning poles are safer, more environmentally friendly and more effective. The water fed poles are used from the ground floor and reach up to 5 stories, which reduces the intrusiveness of window cleaners in terms of being eye level with rooms such as bedrooms and offices. The purified water used in the water fed poles make the windows cleaner for longer, therefore, more financially favourable for the client.
