How Regular Window Cleaning Protects Your Pocket Book

Professional home maintenance experts recommend that a dwellings windows need to be cleaned twice a year and even more often in areas with windy conditions and/or with certain vegetation, like we have here in Sedona and the Verde Valley. For example, under windy conditions like ours, trees such as pines and junipers produce more debris, sap and pollen sacs than other trees.

Without regular cleaning, wind propelled dirt, dust, and pollen build up on windows can cause tiny scratches and pits in the glass. Even if the windows are eventually cleaned, this build-up can cause deterioration of the sealing materials around the window’s frame and even the glass itself.

Over time, neglecting these factors can compromise the airtightness of multi-pane windows, causing them to look hazy, discolored and even streaked or spotted with stains between the glass. The result is not only the loss of views but of insulating efficiency and the dwellings re-sale value as well.

Scheduling regular window cleaning services can help ensure that all these harmful build-ups are removed before they can cause damage and expensive replacement costs.

Regular window cleanings can also help control insect infestations and can catch potential mold and mildew damage before it gets out of control.

For commercial and vacation rental properties, clean windows, entries, and patios make a great first impression. It inspires greater confidence that you are doing all you can to provide your patrons with a safe and clean environment.

Factors That Affect Your Window Cleaning Schedule

Professional maintenance experts recommend that you schedule window cleaning services at least twice a year, however, there are other factors that affect how often you should call your local professional window cleaners for service.
Weather
Weather can play a large part in how often you should have your windows cleaned, especially in areas with windy conditions such as Sedona and the Verde Valley. Windy weather conditions cause dirt and pollen to build up on windows more quickly which means you should have your exterior windows cleaned more often to protect your investment and enhance your view.
Hard Water
Hard Water Build Up is usually caused by over spray from a nearby sprinkler or spraying windows with a hose. The fine mineral particles in our local water cling to the glass and grow larger with each new application. The solutions are simple. Adjust the sprinkler and/or stop using the garden hose; then call a us to restore the windows to their best possible condition.
Landscaping
Landscaping in your region and surrounding area may also affect your windows. Some types of trees and plants produce more debris and pollen than others, which can in turn impact how often you need to schedule window cleaning services to protect them from pitting.
