GENERAL FAQ’S

WHAT MAKES ULTRA CLEAN DIFFERENT FROM OTHER WINDOW CLEANERS?

Ultra Clean put their customers first. We believe that to succeed in a service industry you have to exceed and surpass your customer’s expectations. We endeavour to satisfy our customer’s wishes and we have procedures in place to rectify any problems which arise. We have enough staff to act promptly and put problems right quickly. All our staff are fully trained in Health & Safety procedures.

All our company vehicles are sign written  and all our staff wear the company name on their uniform, so you know who is working on your property.

WHAT METHOD DO YOU USE TO CLEAN MY WINDOWS?

We use pure water to clean your windows. This involves the use of carbon fibre telescopic poles, a soft brush and 100% pure water which we have filtered through a four stage filtration process. The pure water is then left on the windows to dry naturally without leaving any streaks or watermarks. Due to the “Working At Height Regulations 2005” we do not use ladders when cleaning your windows or climb on to flat roofs. Our employees feet are always firmly on the ground.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU CALL?

Our regular window cleaning round is done on a 4 weekly cleaning cycle.

I HAVE A LOCKED REAR GATE HOW WILL YOU GAIN ACCESS?

We send an automated text to our customers the evening before we are due to clean to remind them to leave the gate open. If we can’t gain access to the rear of your property because of locked gates we will clean the front & sides of your house and charge 75% of the total clean price.

HOW DO I PAY YOU?

When we have cleaned your windows we will leave a payment slip which shows you how to pay. Just visit our website, go to the “Payments” page and complete the GoCardless Direct Debit form. This mandate only takes a minute to complete & you only have to do it once. Payments to be received within 7 days. A late payment fee of £5.00 per month is added after 28 days.

CAN YOU CLEAN THE WINDOWS ABOVE MY CONSERVATORY?

DO YOU CLEAN WINDOWS THE OLD FASHIONED WAY?

We only clean windows using traditional methods i.e. with a mop and blade at ground level, and only by prior request, as we find that that cleaning with ultra pure water, gives far superior results that keep your windows cleaner for longer, due to not leaving a soap residue film on the glass.

DO YOU OFFER A GUARANTEE?

Your windows, frames and sills should be perfectly clean and free of any watermarks. If your last window cleaner used soapy water and a cloth to clean your windows or your windows haven’t been cleaned for a long time you might notice a few spots or watermarks when the water has dried.

This is totally normal for a first clean. The pure water draws out left over soap residue and dirt from the frames. After the second clean your windows will be totally spot free.
