Aside from having your upholstery cleaned, and your reception area polished, your windows also need some intensive wiping. The sun rises daily and every day will be your constant reminder of how unclean your windows are. Even a speck of dust could make a window look dull and dingy. On the other hand, having clean looking windows could make your working area a lighter, brighter, and overall happier place.
Cleaning windows is one of the tasks most of us overlook and for a reason– cleaning windows can be tedious and more often than not, non-professional cleaners may not do it properly. It takes energy and a lot of time to clean both sides of the window, especially if it is placed in a high area. That’s why working areas in condominiums and buildings would often hire professionals to clean them.
