Window Cleaning Although Willie Nelson crooned that he didn’t do windows, homeowners should aim to perform this dreaded task at least twice a year. Armed with a squeegee, a lot of soapy water, and a wrung-dry chamois or microfiber cloth, you can transform your living spaces beautifully. Cleaning windows will let in natural light, improve your view, and can also upgrade curb appeal.

When hard-to-reach windows quell your motivation to perform this unpopular but necessary chore, hire professional window cleaners. You’ll understand the benefits of outsourcing window cleaning, as professional window washers will do a better, faster job than any you can do yourself. The better-equipped window cleaning pros can often finish this task in a fraction of the time, which will justify the cost (typically between $200 and $300).
