Hire a window cleaner or DIY? The honest comparison

Most people clean their own windows — until they see how a professional does it. The difference is night and day.

DIY: a bucket of water with dish soap has been the standard for decades. But dish soap leaves a film that attracts dust.

Professional approach: purified water with a soft brush head on a telescopic pole, safely reaching high windows.

Safety: for upper floor windows, ladders are needed. Falls from ladders are the most common cause of serious home accidents.

Time saved: a professional duo cleans an average house (20 windows) in 60–90 minutes.

Cost analysis: window cleaner ≈ €75–150 for a house. DIY costs 3–4 hours + materials + accident risk.
