Carpet Cleaning Tips Window Cleaning Tips
The Science of Saving You Money

Mr. Glass, Inc. researches and relies on cutting edge glass cleaning technologies.

.

In order to remain competitive, and be a local leader in the glass cleaning and carpet cleaning industry, you’ve got to continually seek out the most efficient and effective technologies your industry has to offer.

.

At Mr. Glass, Inc., pursuing and adopting new technologies often results in savings for our most important asset, our clients!

.


Our latest new technology is tap water. Tap water? Yes! We can clean your windows with it. And, get this, we can leave your windows crystal clear without even using a squeegee.

.

Yeah right…What about ‘hard water’ stains?

.

As amazing as all this sounds, it is true. We’ve found that the quality of our window cleaning is seldom a compromise.

.

Tap water, science and savings

.

Plain old tap water does produce hard water stains. But a little ingenious technology can take care of that. What we do is run regular tap water through our “magic tanks” and get 99.9% pure water out.

.

So what? Well pure water holds no dissolved solids. Without dissolved solids in the water, no residue is left on the glass when the water dries.

.

But what’s the technology?

.

This is where the science comes in and leads to savings to our clients.

.

Our “magic tanks” take in the water. A special medium in the tanks are oppositely charged and solids in the water are dissolved. The bottom line, when the water comes in contact with the medium in the tank, the hardness in the water is deposited to the medium. Wallah! Pure water. How cool is that?

.


Savings

.

Contact Mr. Glass, Inc. about using this technology for your next interior and exterior window cleaning. This technology can save you 5-10% off your bill.

.
Science has never been so cool, and it save our clients money!



Window Cleaning with Mr. Glass

Happy New Year from Mr. Glass, Inc.

.

A new year is upon us. Every new year provides the chance to start anew with a clean slate. If not a clean slate, then how about clean windows?

.

Ring in the New Year with clean and clear windows. Don’t keep looking outside at the fresh fallen snow, or frozen frosty fresh morning sunrises through hand-prints, haze and stains.

.

Contact Mr. Glass, Inc. and have a certified window-cleaning specialist clean the exterior and interior of your home or business’s windows and see the outside clearly again.

.

Why hire a certified window-cleaning specialist?

.

Mr. Glass, Inc.’s 12-Step Exterior and Interior Window Cleaning Process goes above and beyond merely window washing with a handful of paper towels and a spray of window cleaner.

.

Our professionals focus on the often-overlooked details of efficient and effective window cleaning. It’s our attention to detail that sets Mr. Glass Inc. apart from our competitors.

.

What does Mr. Glass do?

.

Exterior Window Cleaning

We start on the outside (exterior) first. A visual inspection lets our technicians know exactly what the work will entail. Next, before any water hits the window, so to speak, your windows are prepped and prepared for cleaning. Preparing windows for cleaning is paramount for a thorough window cleaning process.

.

Why prep the windows? Outside grime and gunk can easily build up on the exterior of any window. Take a look through the windows around your home or business. Are there any annoying dark spots or imperfections that you notice? Probably so, and our technicians take care of this by spending the time removing any grime or gunk such as tar, pitch, paint and any dirt.

.dirty window

And what about those window frames? Window frames harbor all kinds of dead bugs and accumulations of dirt and filth. Our technicians clean and wipe all window frames in preparation for glass cleaning.

.

Let the water hit the glass! All windows are squeegee cleaned. Once the larger surface area of the windows are cleaned, let the detailing begin. All windows are hand detailed including all edges and corners with a lint free surgical towel. This assures there are no spots, drips or runs.

.

Lastly, all exterior window screens are cleaned with a brush and soap. Window screens are hand washed, dried and hanged back up.

.

Interior Window Cleaning

There are two sides to every window. As such, both sides deserve equal attention. Mr. Glass, Inc.’s certified and professional window cleaning technicians use their keen attention to detail and comprehensive cleaning techniques for the interior of your windows as well.

.

This attention-to-detail takes into consideration every aspect of your home or business. Our technicians wear protective slippers over their shoes and protect the floors by placing towels in front of all work areas.

.

Efficient and effective interior window cleaning takes into consideration every functional aspect of the window. From the outer edges in, we thoroughly wipe all windowsills and moldings surrounding your windows. In addition, all windows are open and the window tracks are cleaned as well.

.

Then, the overall surface area of the window is cleaned with a hand scrubber and squeegee. Attention to detail isn’t complete until every edge and corner of every window is cleaned to perfection with a lint free surgical towel. This process assures you of an optimal optical experience when you look out of each and every one of your home or business’s windows.

What’s the Best Vacuum for You?

Mr. Glass, Inc. has been vacuuming up dirt and grime in the greater Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR Metro area for over 15 years. We regularly service residential and commercial clients. No job is too big or too small.

.

The holidays are upon us and that means two things? One, you may be considering buying a gift for someone. Two, maybe you’re considering adding an item to your list for Santa?

.

Either way, if you’re considering purchasing a new vacuum (or you want to provide some additional details for Santa) Mr. Glass, Inc. encourages you to consider the following when purchasing a vacuum:

.

  • Weight
  • Attachments
  • Beater Bar
  • Suction
  • Wet and Dry Vacuum
  • Cost

.

Weight

If you’re vacuuming your home or office routinely, choose a vacuum you’re comfortable lifting and moving around. If you have steps or obstacles to overcome when vacuuming then the weight of the vacuum should be your first consideration. A lightweight vacuum is your best choice to avoid injury.

.

Attachments

Not all spaces are easy to get to when vacuuming. Attachments such as a crevice tool (for upholstery and hard to reach areas) and a dusting brush will help you thoroughly vacuum up along baseboards, upholstery and rugs.

.

Beater Bar

A reliable vacuum should have a quality beater bar. What’s a beater bar? A beater bar is the cylindrical brush that rolls over the carpet. It agitates and brushes while you move the vacuum over a given area.

.

Additionally, a good beater bar will help propel the vacuum efficiently and effectively across the floor. Meaning, a quality vacuum should feel self-propelled when you move it across the floor.

.

Suction

Suction is a vital vacuum feature. Why? The more suction a vacuum has the more effective the vacuum will clean up. When considering a vacuum’s suction remember, the more the better!

.

Wet and Dry Vacuum

Without a doubt, a wet and dry vacuum is a MUST if you have children and pets. There are a myriad of mighty messes children and pets can leave behind. A wet and dry vacuum will provide peace of mind for most messes left behind.

.

Cost

How much should you spend on a vacuum? I tell my customers, it doesn’t matter how much you spend on a vacuum it matters if you’ll use it or not. Don’t go out and buy a “top-of-the-line” vacuum cleaner with all the bells and whistles if you’re not going to use it.

.

I frequently service customers with modest homes who own vacuums that range from the $75 to $200 range. In general, their homes are kept clean and tidy. And, they didn’t spend too much on an effective and efficient vacuum. The bottom line, you’ve got to use the vacuum in the first place to see results.

.

Keep in mind the 6 tips Mr. Glass, Inc. has shared with you if you’re considering purchasing a new vacuum this holiday season or anytime of year.

.

Hard Surface Cleaning: Professional Advice

Does your home feature hard surfaces? Natural surfaces such as marble and granite are magnificent looking and add natural beauty to your home. Man-made hard surfaces, such as porcelain and ceramics, are durable, practical and add distinguishing characteristics to your home as well.

Pet Problems: Clean it yourself or call for help?

If you’re a pet lover, you love your pets unconditionally. They’re most likely an integral part of your family. They travel with you, lounge around the home with you and even show up in the family photo albums. However, like us humans pets aren’t perfect—they have their accidents to!

.

Unfortunately, pets can’t clean up after themselves. The responsibility lies in the hands of the homeowner. A pet mess can vary in severity, from an odorless “small mistake,” to something so grotesque and severe you may not know what steps to take.

.

Mr. Glass, Inc.’s website offers immediate calls-to-action so you can quickly clean up your pet’s accident. There are solutions for removing urine and vomit from carpet. Mr. Glass, Inc. provides these detailed and descriptive cleaning tips free-of-charge!

Glass Corrosion and Your Windows

What is glass corrosion, and how do I get rid of it?
The window cleaning experts at Mr. Glass, Inc. are often asked about stains on windows that seem permanent.

.

More-often-than-not, the concerned customer doesn’t know they have a Stage I glass corrosion problem on their windows. They’ve tried typical “store bought” window cleaners, but nothing seems to remove the window stain.

.

The origins of Stage I glass corrosion

Typical window cleaning issues are fingerprints, dirt build-up, bird droppings, other outside elements, just to name few. Mr. Glass, Inc. provides general window cleaning tips, for free, on our website.

.

The origins, however, of glass corrosion are more severe. Glass corrosion comes from uncontrolled water run-off that regularly impacts your windows (stopping the source of the run-off will help the problem from progressing).

.

Additionally, environmental factors cause glass corrosion including:

.

  • Haze
  • Streaks
  • Rainbow Effects
  • Cloudiness

.

These are Stage I glass corrosion effects! Glass corrosion effects left unchecked and unaddressed will DAMAGE all glass windows in due time.

.

What to do?

The experts at Mr. Glass, Inc offer our customers three solutions:

.

  1. Due nothing and live with permanently damaged glass windows
  2. Replace it; replacing windows is very expensive
  3. Repair it

.

Repairing your glass windows is the most economically feasible option when dealing with Stage I water corrosion. And according to the WINSOL Laboratories, Inc. “95% of the corrosion on glass is currently in the Stage I condition.”

.

Mr. Glass, Inc.’s window cleaning experts have used WINSOL Laboratories Inc.’s revolutionary glass clearing agent Crystal Clear 500 for 12 years.

.

However, using such a powerful, efficient and effective glass clearing agent should be left to the professionals. Mr. Glass Inc.’s glass cleaning professionals understand this product and know how to use it safely.

.

Glass Clearing Agents for glass restoration are dangerous. They require eye protection, splash protection and a respirator. All the glass cleaning experts at Mr. Glass, Inc. agree that glass cleaning agents are nasty stuff. But if used properly it will take all the Stage I corrosion off your effected glass windows.

.

Let Mr. Glass, Inc do the work

We can repair and restore your Stage I glass corrosion problems. Restoration will save you several hundreds of dollars of window replacement costs. Moreover, your windows will become smooth and optically clear.

.

Mr. Glass, Inc. typically charges $20 per window face for an average size piece of glass. Contact Mr. Glass, Inc. now for a quote. Or call us (1.360.834.4948) before your Stage I glass corrosion problems become permanent and irreversible.


Wet and Dry Shop Vacs: Versatile and Functional

A wet and dry shop vac provides cleaning versatility and functionality. Your home most likely has a variety of surfaces that will require cleaning. As such, owning a wet and dry shop vac will help easily clean-up your home’s variety of surfaces.

.

Versatile

Versatility is a key component the wet and dry shop vac possesses. Many homes feature a variety of surfaces such as:

.

  • Carpet
  • Tile and Grout
  • Natural Stone
  • Granite Floors

.

A wet and dry shop vac can handle most minor, and not-so-minor, messes that occur on these surfaces. However, a spill or stain can become unmanageable and beyond your control. If so, the cleaning professionals at Mr. Glass, Inc. can assess and address your complex cleaning problem.

Mr. Glass, Inc. uses a 12-step cleaning process for carpet and hard surfaces.

Functional

Without a doubt, a wet and dry shop vac is a functional cleaning tool. It can be used to:

.

  • Vacuum up dust in the home or garage
  • Vacuum up liquid in the home or garage
  • Clean up after DIY projects inside or outside; wet or dry

.

In general, a wet and dry shop vac consists of a high-volume capacity collection bin, a hose and a motor. The motor forces air through the collection hose and into the vac’s collection bin. You simply open the vac when finished with the clean up and dump out the contents into an appropriate receptacle.

Clean up beyond your control

As versatile and functional as a wet and dry shop vac is, clean up catastrophes can go beyond your control. The wet and dry shop vac most likely will pick-up the initial spill quickly, efficiently and effectively. But some spills can leave behind stains or odors causing clean up conundrums beyond your control. If you have any doubt about how to address any mess in your home, contact the cleaning professionals at Mr. Glass, Inc.
