There are so many tasks around the house that seem to slip off the “to do” list entirely too often. They tend to be the jobs that are more out-of-sight and out-of-mind than others. Your dishes stare at you from the sink, and a failing heating unit becomes obvious in the winter. Gutter cleaning, on the other hand, is one task that can often be forgotten.
The window cleaning process can be a tricky one, for several reasons. Home and business owners are often unfamiliar with the specifics, such as how often to clean windows or what materials and tools to use. That’s why they so often turn to window cleaning professionals to handle the job.
Most homeowners want to make their houses look as nice as possible. Of course, there are plenty of reasons why life can get in the way of making that happen, and when things add up, certain tasks like window cleaning can start to fall out of priority. Clean windows can do wonders for your home, from the outside curb appeal to the natural light that is so key to the indoor living space. But even those who commit and take the time to address dirty windows still might not see the results they want. Sometimes, windows just won’t stay clean for as long as you’d like.
Few workplace attributes can result in a more welcoming and productive environment than natural lighting. For that reason, many businesses utilize skylights and even atriums to create that inviting atmosphere for employees, clients, and guests. But what happens when those skylights and atriums need cleaning? Depending on your business’s property mangement, it may be up to you to get the job done.
Few processes in life are as complex and difficult as buying or selling a home. From the market factors at play to the various players involved — agents, banks, inspectors, etc. — there are no shortage of hurdles to navigate. Then there is the emotional and financial factor, particularly for those selling a home. You want others to see the same value in your home as you have during the time you lived there. And speaking of value, you have an idea of what the home should be worth.
Rob Stanley is more used to providing support than receiving it. The owner of a St. Louis-area bar and restaurant, Mascot’s, Stanley has grown comfortable in his role in the neighborhood. “For people in our industry, you see so many different people and hear stories from the community,” Stanley said. “These customers become something like family, and they come in here to be heard. We’re glad to be part of this community and glad to be able to help.”
Window cleaning companies (like FISH franchises) are on a hiring streak right now. See what we did there? The number of job opportunities for window cleaning technicians is expected to grow 7 percent over the next eight years. This is not your typical 9-5 job. It doesn’t require any experience or formal education, so it's easy to become a window cleaner. The job does require you to be in good physical condition since you’ll be on your feet and climbing up and down ladders. The owner or manager will train you on everything you’ll need to know. Most FISH franchise locations put new technicians through a two-week training to ensure they know all the proper safety procedures and how to use the equipment.
These days, we’re all looking to find ways to cut costs. Whether cord-cutting to save on cable bills or turning to “do-it-yourself” jobs rather than calling professionals to visit your home, it all comes down to the impact on your wallet. Gutter and window cleaning often fall into that category.
How do I clean my business’s tinted windows? I've tried everything, but they're not coming clean. I need some expert advice. Certain aspects of running a business can often be overlooked. Beyond the obvious bottom line, one of those underrated factors is a clean and welcoming workspace. Much like the boost a home can get from improved curb appeal, keeping an impressive workplace can charm any visiting clients while also raising the level of employee satisfaction.
When taking the time to clean your windows, it’s (usually) not because you enjoy doing intensive work for the sake of doing intensive work! It’s because you want your house to offer as much curb appeal as possible and to allow the light to grace the home inside.
