How Often Should I have my Window Washed?

We usually recommend 2-3 times a year.  There are basically 4 factors that will cause you to need your windows washed more frequently:

1. Traffic:  The closer you live to a high traffic pattern the more frequently you will need your windows washed due to the increased dispersion of dust from the roads and vehicles.

2. Construction:  If you have construction of any kind within a close proximity you will need a more frequent window washing schedule.

3. Retail:  If you are a commercial property, especially one with retail frontage, you should consider a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly window washing schedule.

4. Weather:  If the quarterly weather pattern has been excessively wet or humid, your windows will probably retain more dust and be more susceptible to organic growth on their surfaces.

How often do I need to have the inside of my Windows Washed?

We recommend that you have the inside of your windows washed at least once a year to remove the bluish-grey film that builds up on the glass surface due to the use of air condition.  If you have pets or kids, you might need to consider more inside cleanings.   [-up-]

Will I water get under my siding if I have it Pressure Washed?

Vinyl siding is engineered with holes in it's bottom edge to both let your house "breathe" and to allow the nominal amount of water that may get behind it during wet or stormy weather to drain out.  Having your siding pressure washed will not cause any more water to go behind your siding than the amount left there from a typical Spring storm.   [-up-]

Tips for Washing and Keeping your Windows Clean . . .             

Tip # 1:  Always demand that painters and deck sealers either tape all your glass surfaces off before applications, or they clean any paint or sealer off immediately after such applications.

Tip # 2:  Always wet the glass surface before using a razor blade to remove any paint or sealer residue from your glass surfaces.  Failure to do so significantly increases your risk of scratching the glass.

Tip # 3:  More is not always better!  Use as little detergent in your washing solution as possible.  Most detergents will tend to leave a filmy residue on the glass surface which will cause streaking, as well as create a "clinging" action for dust to your glass.    [-up-]
