With regards to your Killeen rental home, curb appeal is vital to keeping it occupied and profitable. Renters would like to have a well-maintained and attractive home—one in which they can be comfortable and take pride in. A clean and maintained property is a basic but essential element to a successful rental experience, which is why regular window cleaning is such an integral attribute of any property management plan.
Clean windows offer several benefits for property owners and tenants alike. The most prominent benefit is generating a fine first impression of the house. First impressions can actually create a huge difference in enticing nice renters. Slight smudges and dirt may feel like no big deal, but in reality, potential tenants may equal dirty windows with an owner who cuts corners on property maintenance, thereafter affecting their decision to rent the property.
Benefits of Window Cleaning
Regular window cleaning effectively extends the life of the windows themselves. As well as all of a property’s other elements, windows must be cleaned regularly. Acid rain, hard water, and oxidation are all elements that devastate windowpanes. Routine is very useful in keeping environmental contaminants at bay and your windows sparkling for the years ahead.
Why Professional Window Cleaning is Safer and More Effective
Industry experts prescribe cleaning residential windows once or twice a year. But, take careful heed, looking forward to your tenants to carry this out for you is not the best idea. Tenants may not be mindful in applying the proper cleaning tools and materials, therefore damaging the windows further. Or they may inadvertently injure themselves as they take a shot at cleaning second-story windows.
Falls incorporating 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) shares over a dozen safety guidelines for ladder use, some of which your tenant may not ascertain or follow. The increased liability of tenants using ladders to perform property maintenance tasks is not the best management practice.
