And unfortunately, a person may just choose whoever they see first.Well I would like to give you some great advice on how to pick a window cleaning company.  This is going to be advice coming from my years of experience as a San Diego Window cleaning company.

Now you may be thinking, what's the big deal when hiring a window washing company.Well first off, there is going to be a lot of companies who hire anybody to clean windows for them.They often do this not checking their background.  Well of course you realize, these same people are going to have access to your house.With that being the situation, don't you want to make sure it is a reputable company you are dealing with.It not only could be the difference in a good cleaning job, but it could also mean the difference of items somehow getting lost or stolen from your home.

So what can you do to screen out a good company?Well to start, you check to see if the employees are professional, clean, and uniformed.If they are not, this very well may be a sign that the company goes through employees every week without much regards to screening.

Next thing you want to do is to check to see if the company is bonded and insured.Accidents do happen, and if they do, you want to have as much protection as possible.

Third, do they use professional tools.This helps you in seeing if a company is professional and does good quality work.

Initially, window washing seems pretty easy.You can ask any young kid to clean your windows, for pay, and watch them jump at the chance. The challenge however, is after they do it once, they will be telling you that they will never do that again. Now the challenge when cleaning the windows is not the actual work involved, it's how and when you do it, and what tools you are going to use.  Take it from my years as a San Diego Window cleaning company, if you want someone to enjoy cleaning your windows, or if you want to do it yourself, keep some of these tips below in mind.

If your washing your windows in direct sunlight, you will start to realize that this will cause unsightly streaks that never seem to go away no matter how much you clean them! It's frustrating, but knowing a simple tip like washing them when the sun passes away from the windows, or is not so hot, can save you from failure and frustration as well.

Some San Diego window washing tips that take the frustration and hassle out of window cleaning are:

How you hold the squeegee counts!

When holding the squeegee, make sure you're angling it in the direction of the water flow. If the water is running down to your feet, move the squeegee sideways causing the water being squeegeed to go down to the part you haven't cleaned yet. If you're on a rooftop for example and the down angle is above your head, squeegee forward again so the water flows to the part not yet touched. Now going against the flow, water can build up and that will cause the water to come out the sides of the squeegee and this causes streaks.

Wiping the blade is important!

Some people are going to try to clean the whole window without wiping the blade until the very end. This won't work very well and can make ugly streaks just from the water left on the blade. Every time you try to get that streak (which in essence is two times in the same spot) you will make another streak.You can avoid this problem by just wiping the blade after each strokeand have the windows washed much faster without wasted steps that you have to go back on.

Overlap the streaks

At the end of each stroke, the next stroke should be overlapped of the last stroke (about an inch into the dry area) then make your next stroke. If you're pointing the squeegee so the water buildup falls downward towards the wet part of the window and you're drying off the blade after each stroke, you will not create
an additional streak that you have to go back over. Don't be tempted to just squeegee right on the line, this will make splashes right into the dry area and will be very unproductive.

Use plenty of water

If you don't use plenty of water, you will cause yourself a hard time by making the strokes more dificult rather than smooth strokes with the squeegee. be liberal with your water and always when possible use sideways strokes where the water drips down towards the wet part of the glass.

So there you go.  Some easy to apply San Diego window cleaning tips for all you do it your selfers.Follow these simple pieces of advice and you will be happy with how your windows turn out.
