Window cleaner Kohimarama area please
We are in desperate need of someone to do our windows (inside and out) I know I can look up on yellow pages but would rather use someone recommended. Can anyone help? Cheers

Rare as Moas teath. 
In nine years I don't think I have ever seen a window cleaner; apart from commercial buildings. You can get a proper squeegee from Bunnings and with a bit of practice it's easy enough to do a fairly professional job yourself.

How bad can they be that they require the services of a professional?
Wet a sponge and see what happens!

Got mine done yesterday as I can't reach them all, nor have I got the inclination to do them. I used Visual Windows but they are in Red Beach. So probably too far from Kohi.

Re: Window cleaner Kohimarama area please
I am not the sort of person that is prepared to climb up a ladder and clean my own windows so I use Simply Window Cleaning. I think your area is covered (we're in Parnell).
I have only used them for the outsides though.
My (kiwi) wife is horrified that I would pay someone else to do it but I would much rather pay the money than do it myself.

We always used window cleaners in Aus as like you I'm not prepared to climb ladders and take hours out of my day to clean them. It's also giving employment to someone else!

Re: Window cleaner Kohimarama area please
If you ever move to Blenheim, more than happy to clean your windows lol. Not the most mentally stimulating job I have had, but am my own boss, go to some beautiful houses and meet some amazing people. Best part of all, I get paid to do it. Happy Days and certainly beats being an electrician as I was in a former life.
