The windows at the 5,000-square-foot cottage are phenomenally clean and clear. So much so, that it’s almost as if they’re not there.
Most would assume this level of cleanliness was the work of harsh chemicals that were used in abundance with little regard for Muskoka’s flora and fauna. They would be very wrong.
“We are committed to being eco-friendly and aware of the environment we live and work in,” explains Jonathan Barnard of Dreamview Window Cleaning. “With the right tools and expertise, we don’t need to use harsh chemicals that could hurt our amazing plant life and animals.”
Dreamview is locally owned and operated by Jonathan, his wife Simone Barnard, and Richard Bonvanie. They understand how important it is to their clients that they protect the environment that provides those incredible views.
“We only use eco-friendly cleaners for interior window cleaning,” says Jonathan. “For the exteriors, especially boathouses, we only use ultra-pure water-fed-pole cleaning systems. Our system has reverse osmosis and deionization filters to remove all particulates and get the water down to zero parts per million, so it dries spot-free. No detergents are ever used near the lakes.”
Combining old school window cleaning styles using soft brushes and squeegees with newer equipment such as water-fed poles specifically made for cleaning hard-to-reach places, Dreamview’s team has become renowned for their results.
They are also adept at doing work on island properties, with many happy clients who prefer the water-access lifestyle.
No matter what property they are cleaning or the reason – be it post-construction, a pre- or post-season tidy, or doing a regular maintenance call mid-summer – they take the same care and use the same tried-and-true process.
It starts with an inspection of the windows, sills, screens, and the property to plan the most efficient course of action. Before any intense cleaning is done, all the webs and organic debris surrounding the windows are dusted away. Finally, the window itself is carefully cleaned.
“Windows and screens are prime locations for dust, grime, fingerprints, cobwebs, insects, and other undesirables,” says Jonathan. “We ensure that every part of the window, including the frames, screens, and tracks, gets the appropriate attention.”
By targeting each part of the window to clean step-by-step, Dreamview ensures they provide the best clean. And they don’t have to use toxic chemicals to do it. It’s a win-win for everyone.
