Regarding your Fort Collins rental home, curb appeal is vital to properly keeping it occupied and profitable. Renters intend to have a well-maintained and attractive home—one in which they can feel pleasantly comfortable and take pride. A clean and maintained property is a vital element to a successful rental experience, which is why regular window cleaning is such an essential factor of any property management plan.
Clean windows offer several benefits for property owners and tenants alike. The most obvious benefit is creating a terrific first impression of the house. First impressions can truly make a major difference in attracting ideal renters. Small smudges and dirt may appear to be no big deal, but despite that, potential tenants may connect dirty windows with an owner who cuts corners on property maintenance, eventually affecting their decision to rent the property.
Benefits of Window Cleaning
Regular window cleaning stretches out the life of the windows themselves. Exactly like all of a property’s other elements, windows must be cleaned regularly. Acid rain, hard water, and oxidation are all natural factors that can damage windowpanes. Regular cleaning can easily keep environmental contaminants at bay and your windows sparkling in the years to come.
Why Professional Window Cleaning is Safer and More Effective
Industry experts advise cleaning residential windows once or twice a year. Having said that, thinking and expecting your tenants to deal with this for you is not a wonderful idea. Tenants may neglect using proper cleaning tools and materials, and consequentially damaging the windows further. Or they may accidentally injure themselves as they try to clean second story windows.
Falls that involve 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) sets over a dozen safety guidelines for ladder use, most of which your tenant may not know at all or follow. The increased liability of tenants using ladders to perform property maintenance tasks is not a wise and prudent management practice.
