When we talk about your Algonquin rental home, curb appeal is vital to always keeping it occupied and profitable. Renters desire a well-maintained and attractive home—one in which they can feel happily comfortable and take pride. A clean and maintained property is salient to a successful rental experience, which is why regular window cleaning is such a really important item of any property management plan.
Clean windows offer several benefits for property owners and tenants alike. The most clear benefit is bringing about an excellent first impression of the house. First impressions can indeed make such a huge difference in pulling in prime renters. Though a few smudges and dirt may seem like no big deal, but generally, potential tenants may relate dirty windows with an owner who cuts corners on property maintenance, henceforth affecting their decision to rent the property.
Benefits of Window Cleaning
Regular window cleaning lengthens the life of the windows themselves. Along with all of a property’s other elements, windows must be cleaned regularly. Acid rain, hard water, and oxidation are all reasons that may ruin windowpanes. Frequent cleaning can give you the chance to keep environmental contaminants at bay and your windows sparkling for years.
Why Professional Window Cleaning is Safer and More Effective
Industry experts encourage cleaning residential windows once or twice a year. However, hoping for your tenants to complete this for you is not the smartest idea. Tenants may not take care to use proper cleaning tools and materials, resulting in damaging the windows further. Or they may accidentally injure themselves as they make an effort to clean second-story windows.
Falls implicating ladders are one of the leading causes of serious household injuries. This guide to ladder safety from the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) illustrates over a dozen safety guidelines for ladder use, lots of which your tenant may not actually know or follow. The increased liability of tenants using ladders to perform property maintenance tasks is not a very clever management practice.
