Weird and Wonderful Window Cleaning

We've heard some funny old tips in our time as window cleaners in London, some actually make our job easier...most are ludicrous and would not aid window cleaning in anyway shape or form!

Here are some of the strangest...

'Why don't you use vinegar instead of soap'

Vinegar would smell so horrible and ruin all the carpets, floors, curtains and any thing else it goes near! Also I can't say it will do much in the way of cleaning the windows, We aren't Victorians, why don't we just stick to Fairy. 

'Have you ever tried rubbing the windows with newspaper?'

In a word, no. The ink from the newspaper will come off onto the frames and paintwork around the window, not to mention smother your hands in ink and then you'll be leaving inky prints all over the job! Plus you'd have to be buying all the papers in the shop to clean the amount of Windows we do on a daily basis, not very cost effective!

'You should use lemon juice!'

Lemon juice has its uses..delicious on pancakes, slice of lemon during a tequila slammer or a slice in your water the morning after! Lemon to clean windows though? I'm not too sure, everything will be left sticky and the bugs will definitely love it too!

We love the suggestions, but the fact is nothing can beat old fashioned fairy liquid for cleaning windows! A bit of fairy around the frames and sills will leave them looking brand new too! You can have that one on us 😉

Are You Paying Too Much For Your Window Cleaning?

Are You Paying Too Much For Your Window Cleaning In London?

We see it time and time again, people paying ridiculous amounts for window cleaning when really they should be receiving a much better deal. I've created a little price comparison to show you, roughly, how much you should be paying.

For something like this shopfront you are looking to pay around £30 P/W
For this you will get all signage and paintwork washed down, Windows cleaned, in and out and all sills and mess wiped away.

 

This little mews house all windows, frames, sills and the garage door washed and wiped down for just £30.

This conservatory was cleaned by Fancy Window Cleaners for only £80 pounds..inside and out!

The entire white buildings windows were cleaned for only £80.

So there you have an idea what you should be paying..Have something that's not on the list? Don't hesitate to give us a call for a free quotation!
