Getting Your Windows Clean For Summer

When summer rolls around, it’s the perfect time to dust off the cobwebs from around the house. Window cleaning is a task that gets placed on the spring cleaning to-do list but often gets pushed to the bottom as it can be a bit of a tricky job to get to. If you’ve got tall windows, hard to reach windows or windows that need a little bit of extra TLC, it’s sometimes a good idea to leave the grunt work to a professional window cleaning service to get that sparkly finish without having to lift a finger. If you’re thinking about getting window cleaning done let’s take a look at why summer is the ideal time to get it done.

‘Tis the season

At Jim’s Cleaning, we have become leaders in the cleaning industry by consistently providing expert advice and cleaning services over the years. When it comes to window cleaning, our experience has taught us that summer is the perfect time to clean windows for a number of different reasons. Summertime provides the ideal weather conditions for not only cleaning windows — but keeping them as spotless as possible. Unfortunately, in spring, pollen can populate on windows leaving a dirty build up. Autumn brings with it some rainy weather which can leave marks on your windows. In the winter, rain, wind and frost can make it an undesirable time to have the windows open for cleaning. 

As the silly season rolls around you are more likely to be entertaining guests in your home as we begin to celebrate Christmas. Get your house in squeaky clean condition before the family arrives for the turkey dinner by getting on top of your window cleaning early in the summer.

FAQs

What time of year is best to clean windows?

At Jim’s Cleaning, we suggest getting your windows cleaned about once a month. Summer is a great time to get your windows cleaned, as the warm weather helps them dry. You can remove any pollen build-up from the springtime. However, during the cooler months it’s still important to clean your windows regularly — this helps prevent rain and water marks from appearing on your windows. 

What month do you clean windows?

To make the most of the nice weather and festive season, it’s generally a good idea to get professional window cleaning done in early December, so your home is looking spotless. If you’re interested in keeping your windows cleaned throughout the summer, we can arrange to come and clean across multiple bookings at Jim’s Cleaning.

However, we also suggest you clean your windows about once a month, no matter the season. During the warmer months it’s a great way to prevent pollen and dirt build-up — but during the cooler months you can also prevent streaks from developing due to wind and rain. 

How do you clean windows in the summer?

In the summertime, windows are best cleaned using quality liquid cleaners and window washing tools. The beauty of cleaning windows in the summer is the fact that warm weather will have them dry and sparkling in no time. At Jim’s Cleaning, our highly skilled professionals will arrive at your property equipped with all of the necessary products needed to leave your windows clean as a whistle.

How are double storey and high rise windows cleaned?
If you have a multi-storey home or you work in a high rise commercial property, professional window cleaning is still possible. At Jim’s window cleaning, our highly skilled professionals will come in and safely clean your windows using ladders and other safety devices.

How often should I clean windows?

To avoid build-up it’s generally a good idea to clean the outside of your windows every month or so. At Jim’s Cleaning, we offer a number of different cleaning services and can arrange to have your interior windows cleaned at the same time as having your weekly, fortnightly or monthly general home clean. 

Is it safe to clean my own windows?

If you’re worried about your safety when it comes to cleaning multi-storey windows or hard to reach places, it might be best to leave the cleaning to professionals. To avoid falling or slipping from high places or awkward spots, you should enlist the services of a skilled cleaner who is equipped with the correct tools to get the job done. At Jim’s Cleaning, our team of professionals have had years of experience and will gladly get those hard to reach windows looking pristine clean.

Should I get my windows professionally cleaned?

If you’ve been putting off cleaning your windows, it might be time to call in the experts to get the job done. Here are a few reasons why professional window cleaning is the way to go:

  • Save yourself time by getting help to clean your windows.
  • Prepare your home for the festive season with a spotless professional window clean.
  • Let the experts safely manage double storey windows and tricky to reach places.
  • Maintain the structural integrity of your windows by ensuring build-up and grime doesn’t damage the surface area.

At Jim’s window cleaning, we offer a $149 window cleaning special for a standard three-bedroom home with up to 20 accessible windows.

In an Australian summer, we see the same thing in homes and businesses over and over. Everything looks “okay”… but the place still feels dusty, sticky, and a bit stale. A lot of the time, it comes down to windows, blinds and tracks. If you want a noticeable difference fast, this is one of the highest-impact […]

When the weather starts to cool down, you may spend more time indoors. However, just because you’re inside doesn’t mean there won’t be any chores to do outside. One of these must-do tasks is winter window cleaning. Since you’re inside most of the time, you’ll be looking out your windows more frequently to check the […]

Let’s talk about one of the most avoided jobs in the house: cleaning the oven. Between Sunday roasts, family dinners and the occasional overflowing casserole dish, our ovens take a beating. And while wiping down the kitchen bench is second nature, cleaning the inside of the oven often gets pushed to another weekend. The problem? The longer grease and food residue sit, the harder they become to remove. But here’s the good news. You don’t necessarily need hours of aggressive scrubbing or a cupboard full of cleaning products to get results. At Jim’s Cleaning Group, we know that a good clean is about using the right method, not just more elbow grease. Here are our practical tips for tackling one of the toughest cleaning jobs in your home. 1. Start by softening the grease, not scrubbing it One of the biggest mistakes people make when cleaning their oven is attacking baked-on grease straight away. Instead, give the grime time to soften. Try this: This works best as regular maintenance, before grease has had the chance to build up over several months. Jim’s expert tip: Avoid using metal scourers or sharp tools on your oven’s interior. They can damage the enamel coating, making future cleaning more difficult. 2. Remove your oven racks and clean them separately Trying to scrub oven racks while they’re still inside the oven is awkward, messy and usually ineffective. The easier option is to let a suitable cleaning solution do some of the work. Here’s how: Always check your oven manual first, particularly for coated racks or telescopic runners, which may require different cleaning methods. Jim’s expert tip: Don’t overlook the corners and joins of your oven racks. These are common spots for baked-on food to accumulate. 3. Give the oven door glass some attention Few things make an oven look dirtier than cloudy, grease-covered glass. And because grease gets exposed to repeated high temperatures, it can gradually become harder to shift. For regular cleaning, start with warm water and dishwashing detergent on a soft cloth. For more stubborn residue: Avoid harsh scrapers unless your oven manufacturer specifically permits them, as some oven glass has protective coatings that can be scratched. Jim’s expert tip: If the glass looks dirty between the panels, check your oven manual before attempting to remove the door or glass. Incorrect removal can damage the door or its seals, so this job may be best left to a professional. 4. Don’t forget the areas most people miss Even after a thorough clean, it’s surprisingly easy to overlook the small areas where grease and crumbs collect. Pay particular attention to: A soft brush or vacuum crevice attachment can help remove loose, dry crumbs from accessible areas of a fully cooled oven. Avoid spraying liquids into vents, electrical components or inaccessible spaces. Jim’s expert tip: A detailing brush can be useful for dislodging crumbs from tight corners without damaging surrounding surfaces. 5. The Right Cleaning Product Makes All the Difference When it comes to stubborn oven grease, scrubbing harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, it’s […]
