A housekeeper's heart raced when she noticed her car was missing Monday morning from outside an Agoura Hills home she was cleaning.

The surprises didn't end there for Mayra Perdomo.

Perdomo said she looked out the kitchen window and was stunned to see her car wasn't where she parked it in front of the home. Detectives later told her the thieves drove to a nearby shopping center and robbed a bank.

"When they tell me that, I was in shock," Perdomo said. "My car is an old car, Dodge Neon 2002. I can't believe it."

The car, which Perdomo uses to get to her job and take her son to school, was recovered near the bank, but she said it was heavily damaged. The thief took items with personal information that she had inside the car, Perdomo said. It also contained her cleaning supplies, and her son's car seat and football gear.

No arrests have been reported in the car theft and bank robbery, which was reported around 10 a.m. Monday at Citi Bank on Kanan Road in Agoura Hills. The FBI provided NBCLA with security camera photos of a robber, who handed a note to the teller and left with money in what authorities said they believe is Perdomo's car.

The man, wearing a face mask, was dressed in a brightly patterned sweatshirt.

Homeowner Michelle Norris called 911 after the car theft. She is attempting to raise funds to help replace Perdomo's damaged car.

"This is really devastating for her and her family," Norris said. "I really hope they are able to find this person. It's really going to be difficult for us to sleep at night knowing this person is still on the loose."

UK Professional Cleaning (Sanitization & Disinfectant) Products Market will be Reach at a Highest CAGR by 2031 - openPR

The national average cost to clean windows is $120-$170. Typically, window washing for commercial spaces costs less per window than residential window washing, but has a higher overall price because the greater number of windows. Commercial window cleaning companies may charge a standard rate per window for example, $3 to clean the exterior only, with a higher rate of $4 or $5 to also clean the interior. There may be an additional charge, such as an extra $1 per window, for scrubbing off water stains or deep-cleaning window tracks. Double-hung windows require more labor and will therefore cost more to clean. Companies may charge a flat rate, such as $8 per double-hung window or $9 per French door, to account for the added work. Building height will play a factor in window washing costs. Standard cleaning for one- and two-story buildings will typically stay within the same range, but cleaning high-rise windows may entail special safety permits and equipment, which would increase costs. Your location will also affect window washing costs. Smaller towns and areas with a lower cost to do business will have lower window cleaning rates than large cities.

The 10 Best Window Cleaning Services in Rocklin, CA 2022

Windows are one of the first things you see when you approach a building, but theyre not something that is regularly cleaned. The job can often seem daunting, especially if you have a two-storey house or a business with multiple large windows. But whether you have a home or office, cleanliness is important, and professional window cleaning can help make your glass shine.

There can be lots of reasons for cleaning your windows. You may want a full spring clean, with carpets and oven included, or if your lease is finished, you might need to do vacate cleaning. Either way, thoroughly clean windows can be the finishing touch that makes your house feel truly spotless. Jims window cleaners are professionally trained and available Australia-wide for residential window cleaning, so you can enjoy clean glass no matter which part of the country youre located in.

Clean windows are about more than just looks. Over time, glass can become dull due to oxidation, dust and hard minerals, making your home or office appear dark. In addition, the dirt, dust and grime that can build up on glass may contain allergens. Cleaning your windows regularly gets rid of this buildup, helping to keep you healthy. Jims window cleaning services can also clean screens and tracks, getting rid of any built-up dirt and keeping your windows parts moving smoothly.

Residential window cleaning not only makes the outside of your house look better, it can also improve indoor living spaces. Clean windows let in more natural light and make rooms look bigger and more appealing. As a bonus, spotless glass lets you appreciate your view of Australia, whether you overlook the beach, the bush, or just the kookaburra sitting in your gum tree.

For business owners, commercial window cleaning can bring many benefits to an enterprise. If you own a retail space, clean windows allow people walking past to see what you offer, encouraging that foot traffic to walk in the door. In offices, large, clean windows can actually improve the health and sleep of workers, with one study finding that more exposure to sunlight during the day, even through windows, improves sleep at night.

Cleaning windows can be a big job. Most homes and businesses have a lot of windows, and they can be hard to reach. It may be difficult for you to clean the top of floor-to-ceiling glass, or you may not be comfortable climbing a ladder to clean windows on a second floor. This is one reason why window cleaning is often put at the bottom of the weekends task list. Booking a professional means that the job will get done.

Its especially important to not leave streaks on the glass when you need customers to be drawn to a window display. Its equally important to get rid of all the grime when your home is on the market. A professional window cleaner is experienced at cleaning in the hard-to-reach places, which means youll be satisfied once the job is done.

Finally, professional domestic window cleaners bring their own equipment, so you dont need to go to the hardware store for squeegees and lint-free towels that rarely get used for other chores. For Jims window cleaners, squeegees and cleaning solutions are the tools of their trade, so you can be certain theyre using the best. Plus, they have the equipment to ensure all the cleaning is completed safely.

What is the best thing to clean windows with?

Each window cleaner has their favourite solution for cleaning windows. Commercial window cleaning products can do a good job, while a mix of water and white vinegar is a long time favourite of homeowners and professionals alike. A small amount of dishwashing liquid added to a bucket of water can help remove grease and grime. For great results, try mixing the water, vinegar and dishwashing detergent together to add extra sparkle. Just be sure to rinse well afterwards.

How do you get streak-free windows?

The best way to remove streaks from a window is with a squeegee. Make sure the rubber blade is in good condition. Professional window cleaners change their blades regularly to ensure a streak-free finish. Work from the top down, in either a horizontal or vertical stroke. After squeegeeing, any leftover streaks can be removed with a lint-free towel or a chamois cloth, although newspaper or clean paper towels can work in a pinch. Particularly dirty windows may need two rounds of cleaning. For best results, work on a cool, cloudy day so the soapy water doesnt dry before its wiped off.

Are our window cleaners licensed?

More importantly, each one is fully insured and police checked, so you can feel secure when you invite them into your home.

Window cleaning costs from $149 to $295 for a full house window cleaning, costing $4 to $15 per pane

Get quotes from up to 3 pros!

Enter a zip below and get matched to top-rated pros near you.

Windows not only add to your homes curb appeal, but they also make your interiors look even more beautiful, thanks to all of the natural light they provide. Unfortunately, thanks to pesky rainstorms, dust, and other environmental factors, they can get dirty. Luckily, its nothing regular window cleaning cant fix.

Costs to professionally clean your windows will depend on the size and layout of your space as well as the number of windows you have, but can range anywhere from $80 to $440.

Several factors can determine the cost to clean residential windows, including how many windows you have, their sizes, and how dirty they are.

As previously noted, pros charge around $4 to $15 per window cleaned, but this amount varies depending on the size of each window and whether or not the windows include panes. Window panes are fairly difficult to clean, so cleaning multiple panes ensures your quote ends up on the higher side of the cost range.

Window height and accessibility also help to determine your overall cost for cleaning. Generally speaking, higher windows that are difficult to access can increase the labor time and, as such, the price. Floor-to-ceiling windows, for instance, require a ladder or other equipment to access, taking more time than traditionally sized windows. There is also an element of danger to cleaning inaccessible windows, which factors into these upcharges.

Talk to your pro ahead of time and give them a heads up regarding the accessibility of your windows.

The type of windows that need cleaning determine the cost, as do their size and the number of included panes. Different types of windows necessitate specific cleaning styles, with differing amounts of required labor. For instance, double-hung windows with two sashes take more time than a standard window, so youll pay $16 to $30 per window for cleaning these.

On a related note, multi-pane windows also require more effort when compared to single-pane windows, which also increases the price. Finally, the overall size of the windows impacts the cost, so if you have larger-than-average windows talk to your cleaning pro ahead of time.

It comes as no surprise that the amount of buildup on your windows will impact the final tally. Dirt and grime not only restrict incoming light and damage the glass, but they also make for difficult window cleaning jobs. Extremely dirty windows may even require second, or even third, passes, increasing the overall cost.

If you bring a pro in for an estimate, have them look at your windows to gauge the dirtiness level.

Not all windows are equal, and some feature much more than just a pane and a sash. Many windows include trim, tracks, blinds, screens, sills, and additional fixtures, each contributing to the total cleaning cost. Most pros account for some of these external factors and roll it into their whole-home estimate, but if your windows are packed to the gills with additional fixtures, the cleaning time increases, resulting in a slight uptick in cost.

Some professional companies also offer cleaning services for window accents like blinds, curtains, and window treatments. These services are available for an extra fee. Ask your window cleaner for more information about these extra services.

Some professional window washers charge per window rather than per square foot. Usually, this costs between $10 and $15 per window (double-paned).

Hard-to-reach windows, like those on the third or fourth floor, each cost $3 to $5 extra because they typically require more labor. And washing a hard-to-reach window poses an added safety risk to the pro, who may need to climb on a ladder or lift to reach it.

Some windows will cost more to clean than others. Prices can vary by the number of panes and whether or not they have components, like trim, to detail. A single-pane window will cost much less to clean than a multi-pane bay window, for example.

The most common window type is the sliding double-pane window, sometimes called a double-hung window, which typically costs about $8 to clean. Other common window cleaning costs by type are:

While many window washers charge per square foot or per window, some will charge per hour. Professionals charge between $40 and $75 per hour for residential jobs. For high-rises, they typically charge $85 per hour due to the added safety risks. If the entire window (the inside pane, outside pane, casing, sill, sash lock, etc.) is being cleaned, the per-hour cost can quickly add up.

Its important to ask your window cleaning pro lots of questions to get the best estimate possible. Here are a few other factors to consider and ask about when determining window cleaning costs.

In the vast majority of cases, cleaning pros service both sides of a window for the same price, with an average rate of $5 per window. In certain cases, such as with extra-large or extremely dirty windows, cleaning both sides may accrue a slight upcharge. Talk to your window cleaner ahead of time to make sure youre both on the same page.

Many window washing companies also clean the sills and tracks as they clean and maintain the other components. After all, tracks and sills are important to clean, as they often trap icky things like bugs, grime, water, and mold. Plugged tracks even make windows difficult to open, which is always a drag.

Talk to your window cleaning company ahead of time to ensure they clean tracks and sills without accruing additional charges, as some companies charge $1 per window for these services.

Some, though not all, window washing companies clean screens as part of the overall package, particularly if they remove the screens anyway to clean the rest of the windows. It pays to make sure ahead of time, though, so bring up screen cleaning as you gather estimates.

For companies that charge extra to clean screens, youll pay around $5 per screen, in addition to the cost to clean the windows themselves. Specialized solar screens that demand unique cleaning methods cost even more, at around $10 per screen.

Various window treatments, such as shutters, blinds, and curtains, are not typically included in the cost of washing windows, though this varies from company to company. Ask your pro how much extra it costs to have these treatments cleaned along with the windows, especially if your treatments require different chemical products than what is used on glass panes.

In the meantime, dust and clean these treatments yourself, especially if, say, your curtains are safe to wash in your machine.

Exterior shutters almost always require an additional cleaning fee, as your pro will break out the power washer to complete the process. Let them know ahead of time that you want the shutters cleaned so they can bring along the necessary tools and an extra pro if needed. As for the cost, youll pay around $5 per shutter, though they may include this in an hourly rate.

Calcium, lime, and other minerals like to settle on and around windows, especially in areas with hard water. Removing these mineral deposits from windows is difficult and time-consuming work, so youll pay anywhere from $10 to $20 per pane for this service. Some companies also charge a nominal fee for using specialized cleaning products that remove mineral deposits.

If you love cleaning your home and are not afraid of heights (aka, you feel comfortable on a ladder), you may be able to clean your windows yourself. But take safety seriously and dont attempt to clean windows higher than the second story.

Always have someone with you to hold the ladder, work in good weather, and take your time if you attempt to DIY your own window cleaning.

Keep in mind that buying the supplies to clean windows yourself may end up costing the same as hiring a pro to do the work for you. However, you can reuse any cleaners and tools to save money on future cleanings.

Most home improvement stores sell window cleaning kits, which cost between $75 and $190 each and typically include brushes, an extension pole, and squeegees. Quality ladders cost $100 to $300 on average, while commercial window cleaners will cost you about $15.

If youd rather not climb onto a ladder or you want to be sure you end up with beautifully clean windows, call a pro. They can get the job done quickly, and because they likely already have all the best cleaning products, they can make your windows sparkle. Say goodbye to all those grimy smudges and fingerprints.

A professional window cleaning service that specializes in removing dirt, grime, and bugs will not only make your windows shine inside and out, but can decrease the likelihood of allergen growth that may cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions, says Asya Biddle, Angi Expert Review Board member and manager of The Dustbusters janitorial company in Williamsport, PA.

Professional window washers typically take two hours to clean the windows of an average 1,800-square-foot home. If theyre charging per hour, youll pay between $80 and $150. Cleaning your windows yourself will eliminate this cost, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars, depending on the size of your house.

There are multiple reasons why cleaning your homes windows is an important maintenance task. First, the obvious: Cleaning your windows helps to boost the look of your home and allows for better visibility of your property. Keeping your windows clean also helps these fixtures last longer, resist certain types of damage, and minimizes allergens from entering the home.

Generally speaking, clean your windows and any associated fixtures and treatments every six months. Otherwise, clean them as needed to keep everything running smoothly. If you live in a part of the country with especially hard water, you may have to clean them three or four times per year, and the same goes for areas with plenty of insects that like to lodge themselves in window panes.

Finding a quality professional window cleaning service is much like finding any other vetted home pro.

Ask friends and family members who you trust for recommendations for window washers in your area and check online ratings. Reading a companys reviews will give you a lot of insight. Then, check their credentials and contact them to get a quote.

Most professional window cleaning companies provide extra cleaning services that they can handle as they wash your windows. Ask your window washing company about cleaning packages. Packages may include gutter cleaning, duct cleaning, chimney sweeping, tinting, roof cleaning, or power washing.

And if you decide to clean your windows yourself, consider doing these jobs simultaneously, so you dont have to break out the cleaning supplies (or climb up that ladder) twice.

As we all know, using window squeegees and washers can really help you to clean windows to perfection, but, what happens when these tools cant reach some areas?

Length & Weight

First of all, you need to consider the length and the weight of the extension pole. Namely, if you want to clean windows that are positioned on a bit higher applications, you will probably need to get the maximum-length extension pole. On the other hand, getting a medium-length extension pole will be just good enough. Also, the weight of the extension pole directly influences your work and operation process. Simply speaking, you will waste much more energy and put a lot more effort in cleaning if you are working with heavy-duty extension poles.

MaterialNext, the material is quite important as well. Namely, telescopic window cleaning pole is usually made out of the aluminum material which provides enough durability and still makes the extension pole lightweight. However, there are some extension poles that have some parts that are made out of the fiberglass material or something else. In any case, getting an extension pole that is made out of the aluminum is possibly the best thing to do.

Locking MechanismThere are lots of different locking mechanisms when it comes to extension poles. Anyhow, they all work by the same rules and they all offer the same benefit. However, you need to make sure that the extension pole that you want to get is equipped with easy-lock feature. That way, you will spend less time locking the tools to the extension pole and more time on working and cleaning.

Section:The number of sections usually refers to overall length of the extension pole. Namely, extension poles with more than 3 sections are quite long and they provide massive increase of range. On the other hand, two-section extension poles are not usually lightweight and easy to operate with.

Other Tools Using CapabilityPossibly the most important thing about extension poles it the compatibility with the tools that you need. Namely, there are extension poles that are made by well-known manufacturers that are only compatible with the same brand name tools.

However, there are some that are compatible with most of the tools that you can get for window cleaning, but, you will hardly find an extension pole that is compatible with every window cleaning tool.

Here are some of the most common mistakes that many window cleaners make when using an extension pole. Lets see.

1) Not wetting the window properlyThe most common mistake that window cleaners do is that they dont wet the window properly before washing. Now, this is usually happening because when using an extension pole, you need to do it slowly and with patience. However, most of them are not able to achieve the perfect cleaning result because of this mistake.

2) Not squeegeeing the window right after washingNext, it is tiring to use extension pole sometimes, especially if you are cleaning high-positioned windows. Because of this, window cleaners usually dont use squeegee right after washing the window. This will most likely result in some water stains that occur on the window right after they use squeegee.

3) Wetting the window too muchWhen you wet the window too much, you will definitely create a bad environment for the window cleaning tools and they wont be able to perform properly. Anyhow, you need to measure the right amount of water that you want to apply to window and ensure that you can achieve perfect results.

Using the pole with window squeegeeWhen it comes to squeegee using with the extension pole, all you need to know are a few things. Namely, you first need to attach the squeegee to the extension pole properly. Next, you need to make slow and long swipes across the window. This way, you will ensure that the squeegee will have the proper force to perform perfectly.

Besides that, you need to make sure that the squeegee is positioned in the right angle. You will be able to find this angle in any given situation if you have a high-quality extension pole. However, if you dont find the right angle or if you dont use slow and precise movements with squeegee, you will not get the wanted result.

Using the pole with window washerSame as before, you first need to attach this tool properly to the extension pole. But, before attaching the window washer, you first need to make sure that the washer is soaked in water. This will allow you to apply the water to the window properly when you start the washing and cleaning process.

Also, keep in mind that you need to cover the whole window area and you need to do that with slow and easy slides. Dont use too much force or pressure since you wont get the wanted result.

Using the pole with window scraperUsing the window scraper with the extension pole to clean windows is not that easy. Now, you need to attach the tool correctly first. Next, when you make sure that everything is tightened properly, it is time to start scraping the window. Make sure to start from the top of the window and slowly progress to the bottom area.

Also, make sure to cover the whole area and not to skip any part. Besides that, using scrapper with extension pole requires a bit more pressure and effort. That is because you need to push the scrapper with the proper amount of force in order to clean the window perfectly.
