Window Cleaning

Window cleaning done right is physically demanding and very detail oriented. Both of which can take it out of you by the end of the week. This type of work requires concentration plus physical stamina, and you gotta like people.

You have to stay focused to catch the little things that really do make the difference between a  job being done and a job being well done.  It’s not about getting the job finished. It’s about finishing the job only after everything has been buttoned-up, cleaned-up and left as if nobody had even been there. Except of course, the windows are now clean like nobody’s business. The sills are wiped down, frames are dusted, sliding door tracks are vacuumed and scrubbed, plus the screens are dust and dirt free.

Have you ever noticed how your home just looks better when the windows are clean? How you now catch yourself standing and looking out at the view instead of glancing out and kind of looking away? Believe me, clean windows do make a difference. I hear it from people everyday. It’s fun to catch people out of the corner of my eye standing and just looking out one of their windows after they have been cleaned. I can’t help wondering just how long it’s been since they’ve enjoyed their view.

A side benefit of window cleaning work is that you get a full-body workout. No gym membership required here. We all know that the older we get the more important activity is for our minds and bodies. Believe me when I tell you that window cleaning gives you a strong dose of both. It’s amazing the amount of bending, stretching, and lifting I do in a day. Activity is longevity!  Plus you are concentrating on all the details so you are using your mind as well.  

I have to admit that the people I meet are, without a doubt, the best part of  window cleaning. I have met so many wonderful folks that are so appreciative of the work I do. They are genuinely happy when I leave and are glad to have had their windows cleaned. You can tell that they just feel better.

It’s interesting and enjoyable for me to get to know each person. Its’ pretty cool that I’m able to get somewhat of an understanding of who they are and where they’ve come from. I’ve always liked people and I cherish the short time I spend in their homes while I’m cleaning windows.

To everyone I’ve done work for, thank you for inviting me into your world. I’ve enjoyed our time together and it has been my pleasure to serve you and get to know you.
