Windows and rain.

Many people are concerned about rain when getting their windows cleaned. It makes sense, you just paid to have your windows cleaned and now its calling for rain. However rain is usually not a problem, the problem is dirt and other debris, which are already on your window. In fact it is actually better to have your windows cleaned before it rains for the longevity of the glass. When it rains, the water from the rain does not wash off the dirt from the glass unless you had a heavy down poor as if you were in the tropics, and even then it might not actually wash all the dirt off the glass. When the water mixes with the dirt and rest on the glass, it makes it easier for the minerals in the dirt to deposit onto the surface of the glass.

By having your windows cleaned before it rains you are helping your windows from having mineral deposits onto the surface of the glass. If there is not a lot of dirt blowing around when it begins to rain, then once the rain dries on the surface of your glass, you should still have very clean windows. As most rain falling from the sky has very little TDS in the water.

Adventures in Window Cleaning

Hi everyone and Welcome to Squeaky Clean San Diego Window Cleaning. In the past I shared with many of you pictures of scenes captured while out window cleaning and the strange things a window cleaner can come across in their day. Unlike most professions window cleaners work all over the place and go to new places everyday. So since I am in San Diego, I am going to show you the weird things I come across on almost a daily basis and to give you an idea of what a window cleaner sees everyday in the San Diego area.

I am also going to be sharing with you tips on window cleaning and pointers for starting a window cleaning business as well as some of the more tuff things that take place in window cleaning. Like the time I had to scrape two inch seagull crap off twenty large skylights. I wish I had a picture of that one, as it even had bones on top of one of the skylights where some bird had its meal. So look forwards to that and I'll see ya on my next post real soon.
