Why Window Cleaning
Is Important?
There are multiple reasons why having your windows cleaned on a consistent basis by a professional is beneficial for you. Aside from the fact that you can give this difficult chore to somebody else, clean windows have a multitude of financial, health, and visual benefits.
Clean windows can make a huge difference in the appearance of your home. According to a study by the National Association of Realtors, clean windows can increase the perceived value of a property by up to $10,000. So, not only will clean windows make your property look more attractive, but it can also increase its overall value.
Over time, dirt, dust, and other debris can accumulate on windows, negatively impacting indoor air quality. Bacteria spreads, so if windows are unkept, then it will deteriorate the quality of your windows in addition to affecting the air quality. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Regular window cleaning can help remove these pollutants, improving the air quality in your home or office. In fact, studies have shown that cleaning windows can remove up to 98% of airborne bacteria and viruses.
Natural light is essential for a healthy and productive living or working environment. Clean windows allow more natural light to enter a building, improving mood, boosting energy levels and increasing productivity. In fact, a study by Cornell University found that workers exposed to natural light experienced an 84% drop in symptoms of eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision. Additionally, allowing natural light into your space can reduce the need for artificial lighting, saving you money on electricity costs.
Clean windows promote energy efficiency. This reduces the need for you to spend money on heating or cooling your home so much. When windows are cleaned, they maintain their quality which regulates the energy transfers in your home. Think of your windows like a portal from the outside to the inside of your home. The insulation in your windows regulates the heating and cooling inside your home. So when they are in decent condition and cleaned, the energy levels are maintained thus reducing your cost on utility bills by around 25%. When the sun is able to get properly in your home during winter or colder months, you don't need to turn up the heat as much. The same can be said when it is very hot outside, because your windows will help regulate the energy levels.
Dirt, grime, and other debris can cause damage to windows over time. This can lead to the need for costly repairs or even replacement. Regular window cleaning helps to prevent the buildup of these materials, prolonging the lifespan of your windows. In fact, a survey conducted by the International Window Cleaning Association found that regular cleaning can extend the lifespan of windows by up to 25%.
Pricing Information
Prices vary depending on the window, the property, the method of contact from client-to-worker etc.
Generally speaking, it costs around $6-15 per window in Australia. When considering the cost of a window or a whole property, properties with two/three/four/ floors will be more expensive, size of the window and frames have an impact on pricing too, and also to have interiors, tracks, and screens cleaning will cost extra too.
One thing that I consider is how crucial it is to deliver impeccable results for you and offer the best discounts or deals that I can to compensate for the high COL in Australia. Most companies charge a very high amount for window cleaning in general, however, I will beat them in how much value I will give to you.
If I am in your neighborhood when I come across you or I get referred to you by a client that I worked for, I give referral discounts, and/or waiving transportation fee discounts. If you are a recurring customer, you are also at a fixed price guarantee for the next few years. In addition, I may also offer a bonus service(s) when the price I quote is non-changeable.
