In the matter of your Farmingdale rental home, curb appeal is vital to happily keeping it occupied and profitable. Renters endeavor to have a well-maintained and attractive home—one in which they can feel good and take pride. A clean and maintained property is a vital key to a successful rental experience, which is why regular window cleaning is such a vital aspect of any property management plan.
Clean windows offer several benefits for property owners and tenants alike. The most evident benefit is making an incredible first impression of the house. First impressions can truly make real difference in magnetizing fabulous renters. Small smudges and dirt may quite seem like no big deal, but on the other hand, potential tenants may correlate dirty windows with an owner who cuts corners on property maintenance, negatively affecting their decision to rent the property.
Benefits of Window Cleaning
Regular window cleaning stretches the life of the windows themselves. Just as with all of a property’s other elements, windows must be cleaned regularly. Acid rain, hard water, and oxidation are all elements that can cause damage windowpanes after a while. Regular cleaning can effectively help keep environmental contaminants at bay and your windows sparkling over the coming years.
Why Professional Window Cleaning is Safer and More Effective
Industry experts recommend cleaning residential windows once or twice a year. With that said, believing and asking your tenants to undertake this for you is not the greatest idea. Tenants may neglect using proper cleaning tools and materials, and accordingly damaging the windows further. Or they may cause harm to themselves as they try to clean second-story windows.
Falls involving 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) defines over a dozen safety guidelines for ladder use, many of which your tenant may not comprehend or follow. The increased liability of tenants using ladders to perform property maintenance tasks is not a great nor smart management practice.
