The Cost of Cleaning Windows
One reason is materials. Questions about soap come up often and it's cleaning ability. Not all soap is the same, nor will all soaps keep the glass clean for the same length of time. I am sure most consumers have recieved window cleaning bids all over the map. There are many reasons for different prices; quailty of workmanship, appearance, vehicle, proposals, guarantees, insurance, and materials just to name a few. Many window cleaners use dish soap to clean windows, it's cheap and gets the glass clean for a while. Regular soap leaves a film behind on the glass that does attact dirt, pollen, and dust. Usually the quickest way for windows to get dirty again. Investment $10-$20
Let's talk about commercial grade window cleaning soap, it's more expensive, it's not usually locally available and requires a bit of planning so you don't run out. It keeps the glass wet longer for easier cleaning on days where heat may be a factor. It puts a shine onto the glass that is noticeable. Works well, it's consistant and leaves a great shine on the glass. Still leaves a residue on the glass to attract dirt, pollen and dust. Investment $20-$30
