Have you gotten around to washing your windows yet? Because the experts are predicting that cold weather will come early, and time is running out for you to get it done while the weather is still nice. Already it feels more like October than September with colder nights and cooler days. Fall is here.
There are a number of reasons windows should be regularly washed. Clean windows add value to your house. In fact, according to a survey done by Money magazine, washed windows have a higher return on investment of any home improvement when selling a house. Even if you love your house and have no intention of selling it, regularly cleaning the windows will help you keep up with the Joneses for considerably less money.
If you own a business, there is even more reason to regularly clean your windows. Studies have shown that dirty, dingy windows keep people away and that well maintained businesses attract more, and better paying, customers. This is a competitive economy. Give your business that clean window edge.
Historically people washed their windows for financial reasons. Glass was expensive, but porous. Over time grime and chemicals from indoor and outdoor contaminants degraded and permanently damaged the glass – unless those contaminants were regularly washed off. It is much less expensive to wash glass than to replace it – which is why good housekeepers insisted it got done. The process of window cleaning also allowed the home or business owner to observe and fix a number of maintenance problems he might not otherwise know about, including insects, rot, or other decay.
Finally, there is considerable aesthetic value to clean windows. Its easier to see and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and your green space through clean windows. The colors are brighter, the details clearer. If you’ve spent time, effort, and money creating a garden or landscape of beauty, you owe it to yourself to be able to view it from your clean windows. All of those autumn leaves are just around the corner – do you want to miss them?
