Carefully. New windows often still have builder labels, adhesive, paint specks, stucco, or mortar on them, and dragging that grit across the glass can scratch it. We inspect…
Should I clean my windows before listing my home?
Yes — and ideally before listing photos are taken. Clean glass lets in more light, makes rooms photograph brighter, and makes the outside of the house look cared for. It's one of…
