Removing Water Spots on Windows: How to Fix & Prevent
Posted on Wednesday, August 14th 2024

In many areas of the country, homeowners and business owners use hard water for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. Hard water has a high mineral content of magnesium and calcium. When filtered and treated, this type of water is drinkable and potable.

Office Window Cleaning: 10 Questions to Ask a Service Company
Posted on Wednesday, January 10th 2024

Shiny, streak-free windows in your office or commercial building have a value beyond aesthetics.

Office window cleaning can either be done by yourself or by hiring a professional service. The benefit of hiring a professional service is that you can deduct the cost as an expense towards your business. According to the IRS, routine maintenance that keeps your property in normal efficient operating condition, but that doesn’t materially increase the value of your property or substantially prolong its life, is deductible.
