Keeping your windows clean is one of the easiest ways to improve your home’s appearance and make a positive impression on guests. However, window washing can be a time-consuming chore. In homes with skylights and high windows, cleaning can even be somewhat dangerous. This is why many homeowners tend to put off window maintenance until the last minute.

As such, it’s best to leave window cleaning to professionals. It may be challenging to remove dirt and grime in hard-to-reach areas, but our team of window washers have the expertise, equipment, and training to keep your windows in pristine condition.

Proper window maintenance will not only improve aesthetics, but also boost your property’s energy efficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heat losses and gains through the windows take up 25% to 30% of residential heating and cooling energy use. Taking care of your windows through regular cleaning can help minimize energy waste and increase cost savings.

Window washing in spring

While it’s always a good time to have your windows professionally cleaned, the best season for window washing is in spring. Like your roof, windows can be especially vulnerable to harsh winter weather. Snow, sleet, and cold winds can take a toll on the appearance and sometimes even the efficiency of your windows. That’s why it makes sense to give them a good cleaning come springtime.

Moreover, having sparkling clean windows will help you better enjoy the warmer months ahead. With Covid vaccinated summer approaching, you need to get your home ready for all the outdoor activities and parties you have planned. Having clean windows will make your home look more pleasant and inviting to visitors.

When to avoid window cleaning

Regardless of the season, you may want to schedule your window maintenance early in the morning, late afternoon, or on an overcast day. Take heed, direct sunlight can cause cleaning solutions to evaporate easily and leave streaks on the window.

Cleaning windows during the rainy season is not a problem, pending on the severity of wind and how exposed the windows are. And contrary to popular opinion, rainfall does not make windows dirty. Raindrops will simply run off and evaporate. However, rain can leave spots and streaks when windows are dirty, which is why it makes sense to sanitize windows all year long. Overcast days are best days for window cleaning.

Even in winter, homeowners can benefit from residential window cleaning and pressure washing services. Debris such as dust and droppings can etch and damage the glass resulting in costly repairs. Window cleaning not only removes dirt and grime, but also fills your home with natural light during colder days.
