Depending on how many windows are in your home, cleaning them can prove to be a costly exercise. Nonetheless, it is an essential part of maintaining a beautiful home. It can helpful to incorporate the expenses of maintaining clean windows into your monthly budget. If you're planning to hire a professional, determine how much it would cost per square foot. Square Footage By multiplying the height and width, you can accurately determine a square foot total of each window in your house. You can then add the square foot total of each window to determine the overall square foot total for every window in your house. The number you get should be multiplied by two. You will now have the whole square footage for cleaning the outside and inside of the windows. You only need to do this if you're going to compare how much it would cost to have them cleaned on your own against what a professional service charge for the job. Determining Costs Write down the total weight for an unused bottle of cleaner for the windows. Take the cost of the bottle and divide it by its weight. This will give you the cost for each unit measure of the solution, along the lines of how many cents each ounce or gram costs. As You Clean Be aware of each paper towel you use as you go about cleaning each side of the window. Window Product Subtract the amount of remaining solution from the original amount of the unopened product. Once you've multiplied this figure by the price-per-unit-of-measure of the cleaning solution, you'll know how much the solution you've used costs. Paper Towels Divide how much you spent on a roll of paper towels by the number of paper towels in a roll. This gives you the price-per-paper-towel. Total Paper Towel Costs Once you've multiplied the above figure by how many paper towels you used, you'll know exactly how much the paper towels costs you. Paper Towels And Cleaning Solution Combine the total paper towel cost with the total cleaning solution cost to obtain the total window cleaning cost. Hiring A Professional If you plan to hire a professional, make sure you've divided your complete square foot total by the overall expenses for the paper towel usage and window cleaner. This will tell you how much each square foot costs to clean.
