It’s frustrating to look out the window and see smudges, streaks, or worse—mold creeping up around the edges. If you’re noticing these issues, it’s time to schedule your window cleaning – and the sooner the better! Here’s what you can do:

Quick Fixes for Smudges

Smudges can often be wiped away with a simple solution of water and vinegar or a store-bought glass cleaner. A microfiber cloth works best to avoid leaving lint behind. But if you’re seeing streaks even after cleaning, it might be time for a deeper window cleaning approach.

Handling Mold

Mold is a bigger concern. If it’s on the surface, you might be able to remove it with a bleach-water mixture (1 cup of bleach per gallon of water). Wear gloves and ensure the area is ventilated. Mold that keeps coming back could mean moisture is trapped inside the window, and that’s a job for a window cleaning professional.

Why Call a Professional?
