Category: Window Cleaning

Winter is well and truly upon us now. In areas like Dix Hills, Huntington and Cold Spring Harbor the nights have grown shorter, the temperatures have dropped, and the holiday season advertising has ramped up to formidable levels once more.

At times like this, a person’s thoughts can only turn to one thing… window cleaning! Well, that might just be us; window cleaning is what we live and breathe, after all. Jokes aside, we’re well aware that actually window cleaning is pretty much the last thing in people’s minds at this time. That’s a mistake, pure and simple. In fact, this might just be the time of year in which window cleaning is the most important.

If you’d like to discover why, and furthermore to find out why Majestic Window Cleaning should be your number one choice this holiday season, then read on for our concise four-part explanation!

• Winter is the Worst for Windows

As we mentioned, we know full well that window cleaning is largely ignored by many people in the winter; it tends to be seen as very much a spring and summer thing.

Unfortunately, what these people fail to realize is that winter is by far the toughest time of year for your windows. Here in Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor and Dix Hills, the weather conditions can get extremely challenging. Repeated rain, wind and even snow can take a heavy toll on your windows, even if you can’t obviously see it. If you fail to schedule regular window cleaning during the winter, you allow the buildup of things like dirt and mold to take place, which can greatly damage the long term health of your windows.

Do your home a favor this holiday season, and take care of it properly, by scheduling in a window cleaning session.

• Your Home is on Display

The holidays are a time when many of us like to entertain, and we’ll often invite our friends and family to our houses. We hate to sound shallow, but it’s true; just because you haven’t noticed your windows being dirty, giving your home a grubby look, doesn’t mean that they won’t notice! In fact, dirty windows are one of the first things that visitors register on a house they haven’t visited for a while! If you want to create an excellent impression on your visitors this holiday season, then your windows are a great place to start.

• We’re Innovative

Okay, so we’ve established why it’s important to have your windows cleaned during the holiday season. The only question is, who are you going to call to carry out the big job?

Well, there’s only one correct answer to that: Majestic Window Cleaning. We could drone on all day about why that’s the case, but for the sake of brevity we’d like to highlight one thing: our innovative approach.

Nowhere is this better shown than with our use of pure water cleaning. We utilize a super-smart water fed pole system – which can reach even the trickiest windows on your house – and use water which is completely free of harmful chemicals. That means increased safety for your windows, and a massive reduction in leftover streaks.

• An Unrivalled Track Record

We’ve been serving the good people of Cold Spring Harbor, Dix Hills and Huntington for over fifteen years now… and we don’t plan on stopping any time soon! We don’t want to boast, but it’s a simple fact that if our work and levels of customer service weren’t consistently outstanding, we wouldn’t have made it this far.

We have a wide range of returning clients, but we’re always looking to welcome new customers into the fold.

The most wonderful time of the year is nearly upon us once again here in Long Island. That’s right; if you hadn’t noticed from the barrage of commercials and classic songs, we’re here to remind you that the holiday season is fast approaching! The holidays are, of course, a season that’s all about giving. We give gifts to our friends, our families, our colleagues (the ones we actually like, at least!). Just for a moment, however, we’d like you to spare a thought for something else: something which protects you, keeps you warm, and facilitates the creation of untold numbers of wonderful memories. In short, we ask that you spare a thought for your home. There’s a temptation, when it comes to a house, to assume that if nothing appears to be wrong with it, then everything is just fine! This line of thinking unfortunately tends to lead to long-term problems for your beautiful home. It’s often the things we can’t obviously see that end up incurring trouble and costs. There are various long-term weather conditions that can contaminate your windows if left unchecked, and cause long-term problems. This is particularly true in areas like Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor and Dix Hills, which see some pretty challenging weather in the autumn and winter months. Window seals can end up breaking, for example, which leads to significantly higher energy bills without you even noticing. Mold can build up over time, again without you noticing, which will eventually need to be professionally removed at great personal expense. Simply taking the time and minimal effort to organize regular window cleaning sessions will ensure these negative possibilities never come to pass. This is a perfect example of how you can look after your house, instead of always relying on your house to look after you. With all that being said, who can you entrust with such an important job? Why, Majestic window cleaning of course, the renowned Santa Clauses of the window cleaning world! Like the big man himself, we’re incredibly reliable, always arrive when we’re supposed to, and bring hearty smiles and big laughs to every job we do! On a more practical note, we’re also extremely experienced. Majestic Window Cleaning have been serving the good men and women of Dix Hills, Huntington and Cold Spring Harbor for over fifteen years now. That means we’ve built up a huge amount of knowledge that’s specific to our lovely Long Island locales; we know the typical problems that houses in these areas face – particularly with relation to adverse weather conditions – and we know precisely how to fix them quickly and effectively. If you haven’t used our services before, then rest assured that we’re also completely risk-free. Santa Claus doesn’t carry insurance, as far as we know, but we’re fully covered. If he doesn’t bring you your present of choice, you can’t really complain to anybody; if we don’t deliver exactly what we promised, then we’ll come straight back and fix it courtesy of our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Whether you live in Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor, Dix Hills or elsewhere in Long Island, the principle remains the same. We’re guessing you give out a fair amount of presents each holiday season, but that your home usually gets left off the gift list. This is the year to rectify that. Give your home the greatest present you can, to set it up nicely for the coming year: the gift of professional, reliable and effective window cleaning! To get started, call us now on 631-421-2295, or message us directly through our website.

The year is flying by and we’ve already come to November. This is the time of year that you’ll probably be talking to your family, deciding who’s going where for the holidays. You might even be hosting this year’s holiday get together! Or you might have family from out of town who want to come stay for a few weeks. The holiday season can be such a wonderful time to spend relaxing, quality time with family and friends. However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. If you’re having family come to stay or even just come for a celebration, you have to make your house presentable. Most of us are obsessive about this factor, but end up leaving it until the last minute. It’s usually a few hours before people are set to arrive and we’re running around frantically vacuuming, throwing clothes into closets and shouting at our kids to clean their rooms. However, in the chaotic preparations for the arrival of our family and friends, we completely forget about the exterior of our homes. The inside could end up shiny and clean, but what about the outside? During this time of year, it’s extremely common to have seemingly perpetually dirty windows. The dirt and water from the winter rains mix together and leave unappealing streaks all over the windows. Homes in Cold Spring Harbor are no exception. Your best bet to tackle this situation is to hire a professional window cleaning company, like Majestic Window and Exterior Cleaning. Why is this such a good idea? Because your family and your home will thank you. First of all, no one likes staying in a dirty home. When you’re visiting someone, especially family, and they don’t even bother to tidy up, it can be insulting. Some small clutter can most likely go unnoticed, but you can’t hide dirty windows. You don’t want to deal with the snarky comments from your in-laws, so why risk it? Not only will your visitors appreciate if you clean your windows, but so will your home. Majestic Windows and Exterior Cleaning has almost two decades of experience professionally cleaning homes. We know all of the best products and techniques to use to provide you with the highest quality services possible. We always leave the homes we service looking better than we found them. You’ve never seen your windows as clean as we can make them. Your home will look so shiny and new that you might not even recognize it! At Majestic Windows and Exterior cleaning, we offer a variety of services that can get your house looking fresh and clean for the holidays including professional window cleaning and power washing. Give us a call today and we can provide you with an estimate. When we service your home, we are quick, efficient and professional. There’s a reason that we’re the #1 professional window cleaning company in the Cold Spring Harbor area! We prioritize customer service and want to leave your windows spotless just as bad as you want a clean home to show off to family and friends. Contact us today for all of your window and exterior cleaning needs!

Somehow, the calendar is telling us that it’s already November! We wouldn’t believe it ourselves if there weren’t signs everywhere that the end of the year is truly here. Everywhere we turn, there’s something to remind us that it’s fall. The grocery stores in Huntington are stocked up on pumpkin-flavored everything and most houses, especially those with little kids running around, have bags full of Halloween candy from the recent holiday. In fact, you might still have costumes laying around the house, not yet put away. In a few weeks, it will be Thanksgiving and then it will be December! No matter how quickly the year seems to fly past, holidays always feel like they go by so slowly. Maybe it’s because most of us get some time off from our busy jobs to spend quality time with our families. Maybe we take a vacation (hopefully to somewhere warmer than Huntington!) or perhaps we have a staycation, playing with our kids and catching up on quality time with our spouses. However, spending extra time at home during the holidays can be both a blessing and a curse. When you spend more time than usual in your home, you tend to notice the small things that didn’t bother you as much when you only saw your house briefly before falling into bed after a long day at work. You might notice that your bathroom sink has a slight leak or that the kitchen cabinet is a bit loose on the hinges. One of the most common problems that people notice in autumn is their dirty windows! Fall tends to be quite windy and dust can get blown everywhere, including onto your windows. However, it’s not until there are a few good rains that the mixture of dirt and water leaves noticeable streaks on the windows. If they aren’t cleaned immediately, these streaks will dry and become quite an unpleasant sight. That’s why it’s so important to get your windows professionally cleaned during the fall! If you can tackle this problem before winter weather hits each year, it’s less likely that your windows will be streaky when you’re celebrating the holidays with your family. The last thing that you want to worry about the days before family arrives to stay for the holiday season is the quality of your windows. However, dirty windows can be extremely embarrassing so it’s best to take care of them well in advance. At Majestic Windows and Exterior Cleaning, we have been in the business for over 15 years and can provide you with the highest quality window cleaning services. If you want to make sure that your home is presentable for the holidays, give us a call today. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction and guarantee that all of our jobs are done professionally. What are you waiting for? Let us help prepare your home for the long holiday season ahead!

We are, however, completely and utterly sure that we’re the best possible option when it comes to window cleaning companies in the aforementioned areas.

That makes everything a whole lot quicker for you, allowing you to get back to your daily life as quickly as possible without us hanging around outside your home! That substantial level of experience – and knowing exactly what will and won’t work – also helps us to be extremely effective in our window cleaning. Through years and years of honing our skills, we get results that other, less established companies simply can’t. Simply put, if we didn’t consistently do a great job, time after time, we couldn’t possibly have stayed in business this long. Another factor that’s kept us going for so many years is our customer service. We place a huge emphasis on not simply providing effective window cleaning, but doing so with both professionalism and friendliness. Take a look at our testimonials and you’ll notice that, in addition to the sparkling windows we left behind, our customers also took the trouble to mention our manner, and our behavior. We firmly believe that, however good we might be at the actual window cleaning part of our job, we wouldn’t have lasted so long without also applying this personal touch. A large part of our business comes from returning customers, and we’d guess that a major reason that they keep on coming back is simply because they enjoy dealing with us. Having said all of that, we’re definitely not ones to rest on our haunches. We always look to the future, taking care to keep up with the latest trends, techniques and technology.

Washing windows doesn’t have to be hard. Sure, it may look like an intimidating project. But when you implement a few window cleaning tips, you can make a hard job easy. Today, we’re teaching you the best tips professionals use to make window washing look easy.

Pre-Treat your Windows

If you haven’t cleaned your windows in a while, then you can probably see a layer of grime on the outside of your windows. If you immediately start scrubbing with window cleaning solution and a paper towel, then you’re going to use an excessive amount of fluid. Instead, do a quick pre-treat using a homemade solution. You’re going to need a few tablespoons of a high-quality dish detergent and a full half gallon of water. If you want to make your homemade cleaning solution extra powerful, then add a tablespoon of Jet-Dry or a similar formula to the mix. Next, take any ordinary garden hose and spray down your windows. Then, dip a sponge or brush into your bucket of homemade cleaning solution and wipe the mixture onto your windows. This is the crucial part: before the cleaning solution has time to dry, rinse it away using your hose. Make sure the soap and dirt have been cleared away from your windows. That’s it! Your windows should look fresh and clean. If you need extra treatment in certain spots, take your ordinary window cleaner (or a slightly more diluted combination of your homemade mixture) and spot treat a few areas. If you still see stains and marks after this step, use the vinegar solution we mention in the next step to spot treat additional stains.

Know How to Fix Hard Water Stains

Many garden hoses use hard water – not soft water. Hard water can leave white spots on your windows after they dry. These stains are surprisingly stubborn, and can be very annoying to remove. To fix this problem, make a combination of white vinegar and water (50/50). Place it in a spray bottle (if you have a spare one), or just rub it onto your windows with a soft towel. The vinegar will cut through the hard water stain quite easily. For extra effectiveness, spray the vinegar/water combination, then squeegee the surface of the window. This can be more effective for clearing away the hardened layers of caked-on hard water.

Take Time to Polish the Interior of your Windows

So you spent all afternoon outside cleaning the exterior of your windows, but they still look dirty from the inside of your home. That’s because you need to spend a bit more time cleaning your interior windows. You can make your own green window cleaning solution by mixing a cup of rubbing alcohol with one cup of water and one tablespoon of vinegar. Put your concoction in a spray bottle, and you’ll find that it works way better than any ordinary bottle of Windex or household cleaner. Once you’ve sprayed the solution onto your windows, use your squeegee to clean the mixture away. Use side-to-side motions or S-motions to wipe the solution away. After each pass, dry the squeegee blade with a lint-free cloth.

Clean Like the Professionals

Want to clean your windows as quickly as possible? Here are some of the hottest tips from New York’s best window cleaners:

• Instead of using paper towels, use microfiber cloths (or at least a soft rag); they’re more durable than paper towels, and can be used to scrub stubborn spots without leaving any lint behind
• Invest in window cleaning equipment like a squeegee and window washers with telescoping handles; you’ll spend $30 to $50 today, but have professional window cleaning equipment for a lifetime
• Save time by ordering professional window cleanings from Long Island’s Majestic Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing; owned and operated locally on Long Island, Majestic will clean your windows as quickly and thoroughly as possible – and at a reasonable rate

By following the tips above, you can clean windows faster and more professionally than ever before!

Cleaning windows is harder than it looks, but professional window cleaners make it look so easy.

What are their secrets? Today, we’re sharing some of the industry’s top-secret ways to clean windows like a professional.

Start with the Right Equipment

If you’re serious about window cleaning, then you need to invest in the right equipment. You can find this equipment at any hardware store:

• Squeegee
• Lint-Free Rags (or Microfiber Cloths)
• Super-fine (000) Steel Wool
• Natural Sponge
• Strip Applicator

You rarely see professional cleaners using paper towels (or worse, old newspaper) to clean windows. Take a trip to the hardware store and buy the equipment above, and you’ll be able to enjoy clean windows for years.

Ultimately, the tools above should cost you between $20 and $40. That’s peanuts compared to what you would pay for a professional window cleaning. If you live in a home with lots of large windows, then investing $30 in window cleaning equipment today is a no-brainer.

Use Better Cleaning Solutions

Windex and other window cleaning products are adequate for dusty windows. However, if your windows have layers of grime caked over top, then you need something a little more intense. Fortunately, it’s easy to make your cleaning solution at home. Start with the following items:

• Dishwashing Liquid
• Glass Surface Protectant with a Clear Polymer Coating (Like 3 Star Barrier)
• A Mild Abrasive Cleaner (Barkeeper’s Friend has been popular since, no joke, the 1880s)

You might think the next step involves mixing these formulas in special quantities and dosages – like making a secret potion. However, the next step is surprisingly simple. Just add a squirt of dishwashing liquid to a bucket of warm water. The fewer suds, the better your solution will work.

Meanwhile, the surface protectant and abrasive cleaner are used to tackle hard-to-clean stains.

Practice Proper Cleaning Techniques

Now comes the fun part. Typically, most people clean their windows using a squirt of Windex and a quick wipe-down with some paper towel. However, professional window cleaning is a little more labor-intensive. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide for your average home or business window:

Step 1) Wash with a Strip Applicator: Strip applicators have a long cloth head. This makes them ideal for larger windows. Dip your applicator into the dishwasher liquid/warm water combo. The applicator will soak up a large amount of soapy water, helping it knock dirt loose without scratching the glass.

Step 2) Wipe the Window Clean with your Squeegee: After step 1, your window should look like a soapy mess. The next step is to use your squeegee to wipe it clean. Start at the top left of your window and pull the squeegee over the pane in an S pattern (if you’re left-handed, start at the top right corner of the window). Once you’ve completed each “S” stroke, wipe the blade of the squeegee clean using your lint-free rag.

Step 3) Dry Remaining Drips: Use a damp rag to clean up any water remaining around the edges of your glass. Dry the windowsill with the rag as well. The dampness of the rag will prevent wet streaks.

Clean Multipane Windows Like a Pro

The steps above work best for standard, large windows. However, multipane windows can be a hassle. Up above, we told you to buy a natural sponge (although a synthetic sponge will work fine). This is where you’ll use your sponge.

Step 1) Dip the sponge in the same solution of liquid soap and water, rubbing each pane of the multipane window from left to right (or opposite, if you’re left-handed). Then, rub from top to bottom. Work the edges of the sponge into the corners of the window to loosen dirt.

Step 2) Use the squeegee to clean each pane. This is where you may need to get creative. Your panes may be too small for your squeegee. You could buy a smaller squeegee. Or, use a hacksaw to cut a smaller squeegee. Wipe the blade of the squeegee with a rag to prevent streaking.

How to Permanently Clean Those Pesky Stains

Windows can develop stains from moisture in the air, run-off from masonry, or other environmental hazards. Look for additional stains on your windows, then follow the steps below to remove difficult window stains:

Step 1) Wet the glass

Step 2) Clean it with fine (000) steel wool, or with a gentle abrasive like Barkeeper’s Friend (mix the powder into a paste, then rub away the stains)

Step 3) Rinse and squeegee the glass twice to remove the residue

Step 4) If you want to protect against stains as long as possible, apply the glass surface protectant we mentioned above, which adds a clear polymer coating; if you reapply after each cleaning, you’ll never see those pesky stains again.

One last tip: If your squeegee is squeaking a lot while removing the cleaning solution, try adding more soap to your water.

By following the tips above, you can clean windows like a professional with a budget of $30 and a few hours of elbow grease.
