Come meet this week's speaker John (Cody) Coolidge of Raleigh Window Washing.

Professional window cleaning is far more than simply spraying glass with a hose and wiping it down—the cleaning itself follows a systematic multi-step process. We begin with a thorough assessment of each window, first identifying window composition. Then we check for problem areas like hard water stains, paint specks, or damaged seals. Specialized equipment is deployed next: pure water systems that eliminate mineral deposits, specialized squeegees with choice rubber, and eco-friendly cleaning solutions formulated specifically for glass surfaces. Lastly, the purified water is left to evaporate, leaving no marks behind.
