Window Cleaning Tips
Proper Window Maintenance & Cleaning in San Diego:
It is very important for you to have your windows cleaned regularly in San Diego. Waiting too long between cleanings can result in permanent staining of both the window and frame, as well as possible molding/deterioration of screens. The build up of dust and other elements in the screen can also add to the degradation of the screen as well as unhealthy breathing air. Were you aware that interior home pollution is one of the top 5 most dangerous pollutions affecting Americans today? So it is clearly very important to keep your screens free from build up of harmful particles.
Exactly how often you need a window cleaning depends on what area of San Diego you are located in. Keeping your windows cleaned in San Diego requires maintenance specific to your location.
For example, if you live in Coronado or anywhere else where under the path of passing airplanes jet fuel will be a concern for you. Jet fuel in the air can collect and leave a film on the window exterior that, if not cleaned regularly, will result in a permanent fogging or staining of your window.
If you live in Scripps Ranch or anywhere where there are a lot of trees around your house/building, the threat of permanent stains comes from the tree sap and airborne plant particles (pollen).
If you are located in Carlsbad, Encinitas, El Cajon, Otay Ranch, Scripps, Poway, Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Rancho Bernado, Mira Mesa, La Mesa or similar place, your #1 threat of window staining will most likely be airborne dirt & dust mixed with moisture from rain & humidity. While just dust/dirt doesnt require as much maintenance as tree sap or jet fuel adequate maintenance is still required to prevent permanent blemishes.
Again, adequate maintenance is all relative to your own local conditions, but we have some maintenance scheduling estimates to help you.
Ideally beneath a jet path with average dust & dirt a quarterly cleaning is suggested. However you should have these windows cleaned at least twice a year.
If tree sap and other plant materials are your main threat a quarterly cleaning is also suggested.
If your only problem is dust and dirt you only need a window cleaning twice a year or at least annually.
For those rare locations where you are suffering from the influences of 2 to 3 or more of the elements listed above monthly cleaning is ideal.
It is also important to clean your windows with the proper solution. Most San Diego window cleaning companies use mere dish soap which can build up a film and over time actually contribute to the problem. This is why it is important to make sure that the cleaning solution for your windows is specifically for window cleaning. Not just glass cleaner either, there is a difference.
Also, if you have health or environmental concerns you will want to make sure there are no harsh chemicals. Harsh chemical based solutions will become airborne in the cleaning process & can be inhaled where it can damage the lungs of the cleaner and those around.
If you take these precautionary steps you will have eco-friendly, clearly clean and stain free windows for the rest of their existence.
