You can’t deny the positive view of clean, clear window glass, because it brightens the interior of your home. Whether you hire a window washing service or do it yourself, the reward is a fresh, new perspective. Clean windows in one room have a restorative power, and the squeaky-clean smell may inspire you to go on a binge and do the windows throughout your house.

If you hire a window washing service, the charge to wash 12 double-hung windows from the inside and exterior of a house will be $181, which includes labor and material. Thrifty homeowners can do the job for $25, the cost of the materials, and save a whopping 86 percent for their time and effort. Those materials include cleaning solutions, a window squeegee, and scrubber. You also need two ladders (for inside and outside the house), a bucket, and lint-free clean rags for washing and drying. Washing windows is a good two-person job that goes quickly when one worker cleans the exterior while the other cleans the inside of the window.
