Over the past few years, we’ve noticed a growing tendency in one of the areas in which we carry out a lot of work: Teignmouth. For whatever reason, more and more people seem to be cleaning their own windows, instead of arranging for professional window cleaners in Teignmouth to come and do the job for them.
Perhaps this is just a way in which they’re aiming to save a bit of money; if so, we can certainly understand that reasoning. Perhaps they’ve simply looked at professional window cleaners doing the job, and thought, “I could do that myself!” If that’s the case, we… kind of understand that too! The third and final explanation we can think of is that they’ve simply gotten sick of their window cleaners for some reason; because they weren’t friendly enough, perhaps, or because they didn’t do a good enough job. This explanation is perfectly reasonable.
So, they’re the three main reasons we can think of why somebody might have started taken the DIY approach to window cleaning in Teignmouth. Each reason makes sense in its own way, but – from the perspective of a company who’ve been in the window cleaning game for a long time now – they all also have significant flaws.
Let’s start with the money issue. If you’re looking to cut costs, then professional window cleaning may well be the first thing you look at. This is a mistake, for various reasons! Firstly, you need to buy your own equipment, and professional-level equipment – the kind we use at Rogers Cleaning Services – costs a pretty penny. Secondly, if you buy sub-standard equipment, or if you simply haven’t had professional window cleaning training (and we’re assuming you haven’t!), there’s a significant risk of you damaging your windows when it comes time to clean them. If enough damage builds up, you might need to get the window replaced at a significant cost. Thirdly, simply cleaning the windows isn’t the only thing that professionals do: whilst they’re there, they also check for other issues around the frames. They can identify when a seal is breaking, for example, which should be fixed immediately to prevent heat loss, and therefore higher heating hills.
Next, we have the “window cleaning looks easy!” side of things. Well, we suppose it does from afar, but… have you seen what windows look like after they’ve been cleaned by an amateur? The difference between that and a professional job is night and day, even to the untrained eye! Amateurs will usually leave a streaky finish, which looks terrible. Of more concern, however, is a failure to fully remove the nasty things that build up on windows, like mould and algae. These are issues you don’t have to worry about when you call in the professionals.
Finally, we come to the most understandable reason of all: that you’re simply sick of your current window cleaners. There are many explanations for this, but the fact remains that it’s your hard-earned pounds which are going to these guys, and so you deserve the best possible service. Despite that, it’s still not a good reason to take the risk of cleaning your own windows. Instead – for the sake of your windows and your wallet – give one last window cleaning company a try. Rogers Cleaning Services – with our lengthy and outstanding track record – are your perfect option for doing exactly that.
