Why DIY Window Cleaning Isn’t Always a Good Idea

Windows play vital roles in residential and commercial properties. These glass units frame wonderful views, let in abundant natural light and serve as a means of surveillance. When dirty, windows can’t perform their basic job functions as effectively.

Sunco Window Cleaning shares the reasons why it’s wise to leave window cleaning to professionals:

It Is Dangerous

Many operating units, such as double-hung, casement and sliding units, have been designed to be low-maintenance and user-friendly. Both sides of these units can be cleaned from the inside, eliminating the need to clean outside.

But the same can’t be said about picture windows. They’re fixed and usually large. Those located in upper stories or upstairs rooms can be properly washed without proper equipment, which you can’t safely use without training.

Like roof cleaning, window washing has it share of dangers for the untrained. Sunco Window Cleaning attests that “ladder danger” is real, and one misstep can leave you with serious injury.

It Can Damage the Units

Even if you manage to perform the task safely, your lack of technical knowhow and/or experience may cause more harm than good to your windows.

For instance, power washing can be risky if you don’t know what you’re doing. A wild pressure washer can compromise window panes and frames and potentially injure people, including yourself.

It May Void Your Product Warranty

If you think that your window manufacturer will cover any damage, read your warranty again. In most cases, product guarantees are only applicable to problems caused by manufacturing, material, and workmanship errors. Owner-inflicted damage, like improper maintenance, may nullify the warranty.

Windows can be a costly expense, so you should give them the proper care and attention they need to stay in good shape. Trust Sunco Window Cleaning for professional power washing services.
