Did you know that the more you clean your dirty windows, they likelier they are to last and hold its value? For this reason, every property owner should have their windows cleaned regularly. Of course the frequency is dependent on several factors. One of the main factors relating to the weather and environmental conditions concurrent with the location of the property.
Many residential and commercial property owners clean their windows only to find out that in the next month, it has returned to its previous dirty state. Here are four reasons why this occurs, and at sometimes faster rates than expected.
1. Wind can kick up dirt and dust, which will then cling to the exterior, adding to the appearance of dirt.

If you have home air commercial offices in vastly different locations, you may notice the degree of dirty windows will differ from one location to another. For example, you may have an office surrounded by other buildings and offices, which may in turn shield and protect your windows from becoming dirty. On the other hand, dirt and other air particles may have direct access to your home that is in open land or near the ocean.

2. Pollution is another large contributing element in which the homes location is a big factor to dirty windows.

South Florida is filled with pollutants that can build up on window exteriors over time. Particle pollutants, smoke, such as airborne soot, mold pores, and pollen, are especially causes of dirty windows. Especially if your home or business is located in an area with high levels of pollution.
Also, air pollution levels in all areas of the country typically increase during the winter, because cold dry, dense air traps pollution in particles and leaves them suspended in the air instead of blowing them away, as warmer, faster-moving air tends to. Rain also falls less often during the winter months, and rain naturally rinses pollution particles out of the air.
For this reason, your windows may become covered with airborne pollutants faster during the winter months, no matter where you are located in the country.
3. Untrained Window Cleaners may not ideal to keeping your windows clean.
At Olaf’s Window cleaning, we ensure to diligently train all employees to clean windows using a specific company process and technique. This ensures that every window we clean is spotless and streak-free. Unfortunately, I have witnessed other window cleaners that do not clean dirty windows with such diligently and effectiveness.
One do the biggest mistakes other window cleaners make is using the wrong products. This is also a contributing factor to streaky Windows. Utilizing a window cleaning agent that leaves behind a streaky residue can have a tacky finish that dirt and pollution particles readily stick to.
4. Hard water can cause your windows to become dirtier.
Some property owners and regularly rinse their windows with water in between window cleanings in order to help keep them cleaner longer. For some, it’s a great idea. For others, we don’t recommend it. This is especially the case if your property contains hard water. Rinsing windows with hard water may cause your dirty windows to become dirtier. Refraining from rinsing them in general may keep them cleaner.
Hard water contains minerals, including calcium and magnesium, that can leave a chalky coating on windows after the water evaporates.
So, unless your windows are covered on dirt and debris, rinsing them with hard water between professional window cleanings can make them dirtier instead of keeping them cleaner.
