Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I have a professional clean my windows? Can't I do it myself?
Hiring a professional like RICHARDSON CLEAN to clean your windows provides several benefits that are hard to achieve with a DIY approach.
First, our team has the specialized tools and cleaning solutions to ensure your windows are not only spotless but are also protected from damage. Professionals can remove stubborn dirt, grime, and residue that common household cleaners may leave behind.
Second, cleaning windows can be a time-consuming and potentially dangerous task, especially for multi-story homes or buildings. Our trained staff adheres to strict safety protocols, ensuring the job is done safely and efficiently.
Additionally, professionally cleaned windows enhance the appearance of your home or business, improving curb appeal and letting in more natural light.
Lastly, a regular cleaning schedule with RICHARDSON CLEAN can extend the lifespan of your windows by preventing the buildup of harmful substances that can degrade glass over time. For residents in the Windsor / Essex Area, our comprehensive window and exterior cleaning services are designed to provide the highest level of care and quality, ensuring your satisfaction and peace of mind.
Do you clean windows in the winter?
Absolutely! As long as it's not icy on the ground, very windy, or unsafe in some way; the temperature doesn't affect our desire and ability to clean windows. When you love a clean window as much as Kris does, you will understand he "has" to do it.
If you happen to feel that window cleaners shouldn't be working in the cold we would suggest you BRING US INSIDE to do your interior glass after we are done outside! We will warm up and you can listen to Kris happily mumble to himself "a window is only as clear as its cleanest side" over and over :-)

How should I prepare for an exterior window cleaning by RICHARDSON CLEAN?
Preparing for an exterior window cleaning by Richardson CLEAN is straightforward and ensures that our team can work efficiently and safely. Here are a few steps you can follow:
1. **Clear Exterior Obstacles:** Move any outdoor furniture, planters, or decorative items away from the windows. This provides easy access and prevents potential damage to your belongings.
2. **Close Windows:** Ensure all windows are properly closed and latched. This prevents water from entering your home during the cleaning process.
3. **Remove Window Screens:** If your windows have exterior screens that must be removed from the inside, it's helpful to remove them beforehand. While our team can certainly handle this for you, having them removed in advance can save time.
4. **Inform Us of Any Concerns:** If there are any specific areas you would like us to pay special attention to or avoid, please inform us ahead of time. Communication helps us tailor our service to your needs.
5. **Let us Know if you Have Special Windows** if you have tempered glass, low-e, tinting, coatings or any other non-typical window glass let us know before we get to work. Some standard cleaning techniques can damage certain types of glass.
6. **Provide Access to Water Supply:** Our cleaning equipment may need access to a water supply. It is helpful if you can ensure that outdoor faucets are accessible and in working order, or particularly in cold weather, we will use our own.
Following these steps helps ensure that our team at Richardson CLEAN can deliver a thorough and efficient exterior window cleaning service to your utmost satisfaction. Servicing the Windsor / Essex area in SW Ontario, we are committed to providing professional and reliable cleaning solutions for your home or business.
How often should my windows be cleaned?
At Richardson CLEAN, we recommend having your windows professionally cleaned at least twice a year to maintain their appearance and functionality.
For residential properties in the Windsor/Essex area, scheduling a thorough cleaning in the spring and fall helps remove the buildup of dirt, pollen, and other contaminants that can obstruct views and potentially damage window surfaces. Can you say FISH FLIES?!
For commercial properties, more frequent cleanings—every 2-3 months—are advisable to project a professional image and ensure a clean and welcoming environment for clients and employees.
Regular window cleaning not only enhances curb appeal but also prolongs the life of your window glass and frames, supporting the overall maintenance of your property.
If you have specific needs or conditions, such as living in a high-traffic area or near construction zones, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. Feel free to contact Richardson CLEAN for a personalized cleaning schedule tailored to your requirements.
