Window cleaning is one aspect of maintenance that not many love doing. However, for Terry Williams, it was a breeze. Terry “Turbo” Williams is the world record-holder for cleaning a 45-inch square window in 9.24 seconds.
It’s okay if you’re not as fast or as eager to clean the windows as Terry is – luckily, In Seattle, there are window-cleaning professionals who can do it for you. Although many homeowners believe the sunny months are the best time of year to clean the windows, the truth is, thorough window cleaning is due once every three months.
If you’re wondering how to keep your windows nice and clean during oscillating Seattle summers, read on as we provide useful tips and tricks for spotless windows – and point you where to turn for help.
As a rule of thumb, whenever you think your windows could use a scrub down, do it. If it was raining recently, as it does in Seattle, your windows might become blurry, and a wash can help clear it. If you’ve been barbecuing in your backyard, washing the exterior of your windows might be a good idea.
There are homeowners who prefer to have their windows cleaned every two weeks simply because they like having a crystal-clear view. According to the EPA (the United States Environmental Protection Agency), indoor air is 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. With this statistic in mind, cleaning the windows in your home, office, or any other building you spend time in is essential to lessen the chances of air pollution.
Keeping your windows clean during the summer months can be a bit of a task because of sun exposure. Chemicals in cleaning sprays tend to dry out much faster than usual due to high temperatures outside.
If you clean your window during the daytime, and if it’s pretty hot outside, you’ll notice streaks and powdery residues on the window surface. Because the hot air dries out the cleaning sprays faster, the effect of the cleaning agent is barely visible.
Of course, sometimes window cleaning can require more than just your polishing touch. If so, a designated provider can meet you halfway.
