On the issue of your Lewes rental home, curb appeal is vital to keeping it occupied and profitable. Renters always choose a well-maintained and attractive home—one in which they can feel so safe, comfortable and take pride. A clean and maintained property is crucial part to a successful rental experience, which is why regular window cleaning is such an essential element of any property management plan.
Clean windows offer several benefits for property owners and tenants alike. The most obvious benefit is making an amazing first impression of the house. First impressions can certainly make a significant difference in gaining the interest of suitable renters. Some few smudges and dirt may appear like no big deal, but in fact, potential tenants may automatically equate dirty windows with an owner who cuts corners on property maintenance, and will probably negatively affect their decision to rent the property.
Benefits of Window Cleaning
Regular window cleaning prolongs the life of the windows themselves. As with all of a property’s other elements, windows must be cleaned regularly. Acid rain, hard water, and oxidation are all natural elements that can impair windowpanes. Regular cleaning can easily help keep environmental contaminants at bay and your windows sparkling over the next few years.
Why Professional Window Cleaning is Safer and More Effective
Industry experts strongly recommend cleaning residential windows once or twice a year. But, trusting your tenants to work on this for you is not a really good idea. Tenants may not care to use proper cleaning tools and materials, leading to damaging the windows further. Or they may put themselves in harm’s way 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) clearly oulines over a dozen safety guidelines for ladder use, most of which your tenant may not be aware of or follow. The increased liability of tenants using ladders to perform property maintenance tasks is not an advantageous management practice.
