Residential window cleaners quite often have a bad reputation for being unreliable. People often tell me they can never find one. This article will help you find one and more importantly assess that they will provide you with a good service and are honest and trustworthy. In the first instance it can always be useful to ask friends and family if they have a good cleaner. If someone recommends someone and they are happy with them and have used them on several occasions it is quite likely they will be fairly dependable. This should always be your first port of call. Other obvious places to look for window cleaners include the local paper, local shop window ads, Parish magazines and other local directories. Local phone books and the internet are also good choices. Once you have found one it is important to ask them a few questions and do a few checks to make sure they are bona fida. Many window cleaners will go door knocking to canvass for business which is perfectly acceptable(it is one of the preferred methods for many residential cleaners ) but it is important to be aware of the possibility that some of these people might be dishonest and unscrupulous. As an absolute minimum check that they have some company literature(business card, leaflet, etc) and ideally an ID badge, before you let them walk around your property. If you are in any doubt to their sincerity, do not let them walk round your property. Ask them how long they have worked in this industry. Ask where they live. Ask them if they clean any other homes in your street. Always check to make sure they are insured and check how they will access certain difficult to reach windows without the risk of causing damage to tiles, flowerbeds etc Ask them whether they will clean all your sills, frames and doors too(this is always preferable, the overall effect looks much nicer than clean panes with dirty black frames). The more professional they appear to be, the more likely of getting someone dependable you are. People who give you a cheap shabby card demonstrate they do not take too much pride in their business and it is quite likely this will be reflected in their service. A good professional image normally indicates you will receive a professional job. This has been my observation over the last 10 years in this business.
