Defence Window Cleaning

2. The economic benefits of clean windows

Cleaning windows regularly can save you money. This is because the build-up of dirt and grime is not only unsightly; it is also damaging:

• Dirt clings to the pores on a window surface. The longer it stays and the harder it gets, the more likely it is to cause scratches or even cracks during cleaning.
• Chemicals like those used in construction, welding or painting can damage glass. Damage from chemicals causes streaking on the glass surface. Pitting on the glass surface may also occur from weld spatter.
• Acid rain can also cause long term damage to glass without regular washing.

Experience shows that the longer the interval between window cleaning, the more difficult the windows are to clean. The cleaning takes longer than it should and may require more potent chemicals and more resources to get the job done. If there is construction or maintenance activity in the area, the chances are that your windows will need more regular cleaning while those activities are ongoing.

Cleaning windows regularly has benefits beyond cost savings. In the case of retail shops and restaurants, the neat and clean shopfront attracts customers to the business.

Window displays are a powerful method for attracting customers into a store, but dirty windows detract from their impact and can reduce foot traffic through the door. Clean windows create a great first impression and allow customers to enjoy their consumer experience with a pleasant ambience.

Each application is unique in terms of the optimum frequency for window cleaning. But a general rule of thumb is that residential units and apartments should be cleaned quarterly or biannually. Retail and restaurants should be cleaned monthly or even weekly if required.
